In Barcelona it's really common. Loads of young girls get started with tattoos at 18. They even have a tattoo exhibition here.
Where I come from (London) tattoos are adorned mainly by fat women on council estates who look/are rough. Albeit they may be original Indian ink but they just look like/are prison tattoos.
I knew a Chinese girl who back in the 90's got a huge dragon covering her shoulder with the tail running down her arm. How she kept that covered from her parents idk. She hates it now.
Whenever anyone shows me their new tattoo, I appreciate the colours and new shading etc but I can't help think to myself whether they will like it in 10 years time?
