Just a little ray of sunshine through the clouds.

Many of the young people in this outdoor water activity video have a lot of tattoos on arms and neck. In everyday life, as soon as I happen to be in close proximity to someone with tattoos like that, say a cashier at a store, it always sets off my internal on-guard alarm warning.

Will go take a look at the US-military rules on tattoos and get back here:

Ok, so why do people especially young people like in the above water activity video go and get themselves all tattooed on their arms and neck like that?

To me it seems to be self-destructive.

One small tattoo for a personal remembrance is reasonable, but to get a lot of black ink all over your arms and neck like that is just stupid.

When I grew up, born in 1951-Boston area, tattoos were associated with criminals and drug addicts.

We also had segregated schools when you were born, so I'm not sure you should be using that as the zenith of morality.

Don’t forget military (sailors got tattoos when they hit ports of call) and bikers always had tattoos...nowadays (and for the last 20 years) tats have become a fad for the millennials and yes, druggies. It always irks me to see these jerks covered in tats head to toe (tats are expensive!) and then stealing from family and friends to fund their next fix...
