TATTOOS

Apparently towards the end of 1929 there had been a dramatic increase in the number of people sporting tattoos. In Australia and Sydney in particular the number of people with tattoos is quite staggering.

Already in the US there appears to be a large increase in the number of people seeking their removal.

As a kid growing up I recall seeing very few people with tattoos and the bulk of the people were either from England or sailors.

I suspect we will see a decline in Australia only once unemployment reaches levels of concern. By the way there are 2 reality shows in the US focusing on the art of tattooing, so that just gives you an idea of the craze. And of course if little miss popular Miley Cirus just got one then you know that we are still in a bullish social mood.
