People who got tattoos wanted to be able to express themselves in the way they desired, by decorating their body with artwork, and didn’t appreciate having their decision dictated by arbitrary standards that they did not agree to. They weren’t doing it for the sake of rebellion, it was just called rebellion because it went against the social expectations of the time.
People often do not understand the reason behind the act of rebellion and attribute those engaging in the activities as being done for the sake of rebellion itself instead of some deeper cause.
Not a beauty standard per se, but I don’t like tattoos one bit.
It used to be “rebellious” to have a tattoo, but nowadays it seems like everyone has one - so maybe the truly rebellious thing now is not having them.
I don’t think tattoos have been about rebellion in a long time. It’s just art for your body.
It was always just art for your body.

Depends on your background. If you’re from a Jewish or Muslim family pearls will be clutched.
Yeah but it used to be. Even Kat Von D is blacking out her tattoos so that it would be more provocative again which is how she likes it.
