I'm 44 years old so have been around long enough to see fads come and go.
Tattoos like everything else come in and out of fashion; you see a guy who had his done in the 80s or before and they look really dated and lame.
So what happens now? The next batch of youngsters coming up will look at their older siblings or even parents and their fashion will go in the opposite direction as each generation wants to stamp it's own identity, the styles of tattoo will change fashion or they may go out of fashion altogether - and you're stuck with whatever you've got if you're heavily tattooed.
Once your t-shirt has gone out of fashion you can use it to clean your windows, once your skin has gone out of fashion what are you going to do then?
The body piercing thing of a few years ago has died off big time. You can remove an earring from your arse or wherever and it won't leave too much of a mark once you get bored of it, you can't remove a tattoo from your arse quite so easily.
When you start seeing loads of middle aged people latch on to a fashion you know it's on borrowed time...
Listen to your Nan, she was young once and now has the benefit of years of experience and wisdom.
