I was born in 1971 and I have five. Most had healed before the "Sliver"/"Dive" single started getting worn out on the left end of the dial, so at least that keeps me out of the hipster tat camp.

She looks disturbed, I've probably dated her.
You look like a really healthy Arthy Lang.

My friend has a similar concept tattoo with the Black Flag bars made up of crappy beer cans PBR, Hamm's, Falls City, and Olympia if I remember correctly. Rollins would be proud.

To my recollection, the uptick in young folks getting tattoos seemed to coincide with Nirvana's "Nevermind" getting big in the record charts.

Not that those two things are particularly related -- just trying to put a time-frame on the phenomenon. I think it ties in with the era of "alternative rock" becoming a niche market ... around that same time, tattoos started shedding some of their "low-rent" stigma and became more of a hipster thing.

I can't back up anything I'm saying ... it's just my personal impression of events.


Maybe people who were in high school and down vs. college and up at that moment?  We're trying to be precise here.

Schoolkids Records (I believe JW worked there for a time) on Franklin Street had the whole front window plastered with that swimming baby poster in fall of 1991. 

So that would put the diving line approximately at people born in 1974 and on more likely to have tattoos, 1973 and before less?  It's a start.

Grote, we're treating you as an outlier for now.

I think this also depends on where you are. In Chicago all of my friends college age have a tattoo or two or more, but none of the people I know here in Olympia have a single one. Sorry if this throws off the algorithm a bit.
There is no good Art in here.

The guy on the right looks like he could be the grown up Eddie Munster - at least he's got the hairline.

I personally like the completely trashy ones, such as the "F*ckin Classy" one.
