Tattoos as fashion: The height of youthful confidence; when one's 20-year-old self presumes to know what one's 40-year-old self will desire.

If those tattoo's had meaningful sentiment for the owner, and you knew that sentiment, would you view that person different than a "fashionista tattoo seeker" ?

edit : I have a few tattoo's my first at 18, my best friend killed himself, so I took his scratch he made on his guitar and make a tattoo. it's not astetic by any means but now I build a collection of memories of the people important to me who are around and meld them all together.

I like this, means the most to me. Can look horrible to others. But tattoos are not all born equal.

You are right and my answer is yes. (I elaborated my thought in another reply under my parent comment; the essence being that tattoos with the function of fashion likely lead to regret, while other tattoos don't.)

It's really easy actually

You just pick something really cool when you're 20, and then you resist turning into a boring person who hates what you used to like when you're 40
