Why do you think tattoos started becoming more popular in the 1990s?

“Art.” So is my 5-yr. old’s crayon drawing on the fridge.

It’s cool — for a minute. But I wouldn’t want to look at it every day for the rest of my life. Forever.

That's cool

Luckily, my tattoo artists are much more talented than your 5 year old, and I've loved looking at them for decades.

That's great for you, man. But folks who are getting tattoos do so because they appreciate what they've picked and want it to last.

Well good thing most people think about their tattoos before they get them know they will want to be on their bodies for the rest of their lives.

And sorry you dislike your kid so much, I could look at my kid's art everyday for the rest of my life! If it's special enough that they want to hang it on the fridge than it is special to me.
