Apropos this discussion, I just came across the following paragraph in the novel, A Visit from the Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan, in a chapter that takes place 12 or 15 years into the future:
"Lulu was in her early twenties, a graduate student at Barnard and Bennie's full-time assistant: a living embodiment of the new 'handset employee': paperless, deskless, commuteless, and theoretically omnipresent, though Lulu appeared to be ignoring a constant chatter of handset beeps and burps. The photos on her page had not done justice to the arresting, wide-eyed symmetry of her face, the radiant shine of her hair. She was 'clean': no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses?"
Fair or not, this brought a couple thoughts to mind. Men have gotten tattoos for generations and no doubt will continue to do so. Among women it's been a more recent trend, and, like most female decor trends, will, for the reason cited above, or for some other reason, or for no reason, come to an end, sooner or later. When it does, women in their 30s, who typically often like to be as little distinguished as possible from women in their 20s, will then not only have to battle the usual challenges of sun, gravity, etc., but will have literally branded themselves as belonging to an older generation.
Corollary to that, I foresee a rising demand for tattoo removal. Specifically, given the expense and often-unsatisfactory results of the current state of the art, I foresee a demand for tattoo removal R&D. The wise young man seeking his fortune should take note!
I think the tatoo thing is getting really out of hand with all women not just strippers. It's great to see an all natural woman without any ink on them. It's becoming rare now a days. Just like seeing natural tits. LOL there's a dancer that I know that has the Disney Castle on the side of her hip. She should put "The happiest place on earth" over her vag'.

Can you think of a stripper that has NO tattoos at all?
