I know plenty of boomers with tattoos or that don’t mind them. This notion of “women ruin their bodies with tattoos” feels more like some incel/christian-conservative shit.
God I always hated that shit. You’re going to be wrinkly and old at 60 no matter what. No one is going to be drooling as you walk down the beach, tits/balls dragging in the sand, why would a bit of ink matter?
And like, if a ton of people my age have tattoos then we’ll all have the same blotchy inked extremities and no one will think anything of it. We’ll all wind up at the nursing home telling each other “I think this used to be a bird.”
That christian conservative shit is basically boomer culture. I also know some boomers who eschew that dumbassery, but they are definitely an exception to the rule.
Fells very US centric. We have plenty of boomers in Europe that don’t really fall into the christian conservative group. They were still really bad on things like climate change, but associating an opinion towards tattoos for the entire generation just feels wrong.
I’m generally not a fan of generalising things into generations. It’s stupid way to divide things.

I remember when my mom (boomer got upset with me for getting my first and only tattoo. “Just think what you’re going to look like when you’re sixty!”
“I’m probably going to just look like everyone my age.”

No one age 60 is more concerned about their tattoos over any of the other shit that happens to your body by age 60.
