Today's "Hip"

After looking at the picture I found highlighting today's "hip" person, need I say more?  I have often thought about what is going on in one's mind when choosing a tattoo.  Do they not realize this is permanent?  I foresee this pictured hipster agonizing over her choice of ink.  Imagine the question from a three year old, "Mommy, why do you have a picture on your back?" 
I'm not here to bash tattoos.  I love them and plan to get another soon, however my ink is related to my Marine Corps service, not a tween movie.  Yes I said tween.  I have daughters.  I grew up in the 70's and 80's.  I was into punk rock and skateboards.  I dressed, and even acted the part when safe (away from parents), but I cringe at the thought of walking around in my 40's with a dog town tattoo on my back or chest.  I agree that today's hipster is using the body as its canvas, but I just refuse to accept that one day soon, these folks will regret todays choices.



That is all.
