Some, for sure.

Years ago, it was very common for parents to say “if your friends all jumped off a bridge, would you do it?” It was even on TV shows.

Later on, some of my friends actually did jump off a bridge. I didn’t, which was doubly great because on top of being stupid, it also turned out to be illegal.

Then after that…

And now here we are.

I could understand if some segment of the population did it, but it’s so widespread, and some people take it so far, it’s just unbelievable. In just 20 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if untattooed have gone from 90+% of the population to under 40%.

Edit: according to city-data it’s gone from about 10% to about 30-40% among people under 50, but with a lot more tattoos on those who have them.

I just don’t understand what drove that, but there is a lot I don’t understand these days…
