Trends come and go all the time. What was popular last year won’t be popular this year, and in the “millennial” age, not keeping up with a trend (or doing something out of trend) could be social suicide. The same thing goes for tattoos. Tattoos, like fashion, go in and out of different periods of trends. In the earlier days of tattoos, they were frowned upon and considered distasteful. Fast forward to 2017, and tattoos are actually a fashion statement. More people around the world are getting tattoos than ever before, and it doesn’t look like anyone is planning on stopping.
From lower back tattoos, to ribcage tattoos, to butterfly quotes and tribal ink, the tattoo industry has definitely seen its fair share of trends. Within the past few years, the tattoo world has seen another “hip” trend emerge, often by girls in their late teens and early 20’s, and that is the finger tattoo. Sure it’s cute, so “chic”, “subtle” and just do darn “cool”, but what most people who get them don’t know is that they age horribly.
Here are some photos as proof, and if you’ve been considering getting one, hopefully this will change your mind.
