The Hollywood Tattoo Brainwashing continues


Early 80s people, like the dad in this film, rock and roll band or not, did not get tattoos. This is so bogus and angers me so that Hollywood keeps pushing these things.The guy is a teacher no less. Just ridiculous. I wish they would stop it already. The tattoo industry must be paying a lot of money to be a part of all this indoctrination.

What do you have against tattoos?

He is correct. In the 80's only hookers, bikers and criminals had tattoos. From memory,tattoos came into vogue in the 90's, and it was mainly a yuppy thing to do.

I have visible tattoos. I used to be a middle school teacher (and had that tattoos at that time, too), and now I'm a college professor. So I'm pretty confused by the whole "the guy is a teacher no less" comment.

Right, but the piercing thing was worse.
Remember when the typical woman had 2 or 3 pair of earrings?
Those who run the precious metals and jewel businesses are some of the richest people in the world...and greediest. They doubled their market by product placement. Rock stars and celebrity men wearing earrings. Multiplied it again with 2,3,4 holes in each ear. And again with noses, eyebrows, etc.
I can remember when the nose thing took off. I was a teacherand succumned to daytime tv in the summer. Talk show guests started sporting nose rings. Alternately, the host would call for questions from the audience and pick the person they had planted.
Tonight I saw an old rerun of "Friends" where the guys go all moonie over the girl at the copy place ("the one with the navel ring? Oooh"). A similar scene from a Jodie Lynn O'Keefe teen movie had a teen getting all excited over hers.
How did most men actually feel about such things? More like EEEW!
The free thinking buck the system don't care what anybody thinks types are truly the sheep of the world...and corporations fleece them easiy.
