Gen X didnt cover their bodies with bad art. If a male got a piercing it was his left ear. But you are probably correct that the very tail end of Gen X probably did begin the trend. It was taken to the next level by the millennials. I was born in the first year of Gen X (1965) and graduated in '83 and I didnt see any of this tribal behavior among my peer group. I saw very little of it among the kids who graduated with my youngest brother in '95 either.
But my youngest daughters class ('06) was full of tattoos and piercings. I was in a constant battle with her to keep her body free the crap. And now that she is almost 36 she is happy she doesnt carry that burden.
Covering your body in tattoos and piercings is a sign of self loathing and fits right in with the goth clothing, emo music and the trend of teenage girls 'cutting' that was the defining characteristics of millennials. I raised three of them.
The body covering tattoos and mass piercings are self mutilation.
Self mutilation is a good description. A lot of the current Trans phenomenon is just that taken to the next level. I saw one picture of a girl standing with her mother who had done a mastectomy. It was recent due to the look of the scars. Horrible to look at, but when I looked closer at the picture, you could tell she was a cutter - her arms were full of old scars. I knew then it had nothing to do with her being in the wrong body.
