    Mh … doesn’t look like it.

    The US seems to have more tattoos than France or Germany, even though the later countries have a much larger nudist culture.

      I’m glad you have data, because I was just thinking that cultural attitudes towards tattoos and nudity don’t seem to be related, but I can’t prove that.

        I also don’t think there is a connection, which is why I did a quick check if there even is a correlation.

        Also having been to to nudists events and resorts several times I’d say tattoos are less prelevant than in the general population (Also a lot of nudists are seniors which seem to have fewer tattoos in general as well).

    Idk… I typically find people with tattoos less aesthetically pleasing to look at.

      I agree. The bare skin looks better imo, although I’ve met a handful of people who have tasteful tattoos that complement their looks. It’s too much of an aesthetic balancing act for just anyone to pull off.

        My caveat to that is that nobody pulls it off permanently

      Personally: They can be tasteful but often arent.
      On my GTA 5 character I have a butterfly moth as a full back piece. I could consider getting them but only as a small piece on my leg or something as it’s way to edgy for a full piece.
      Same for most other pieces.

        Imo the only people who look good with tats are people who looked good anyways.

    They couldn’t be much more popular than what they already are. Seems that nowdays it’s rare to not have any.

    Only among people who get tattoos for others…

    For lots of people something as permanent as a tattoo isn’t done to increase other’s views, it’s for a personal reason.

      Mandatory nudity probably would improve general public health… for a while. Eventually, though, laziness would win and then we’d all be sorry.

        It would not improve public health up here in Canada, it would increase cases of frostbite.

          The (US) city I live in is farther North than something like 70% of the population of your country!

              Minneapolis. Continental US.

              Most of Canada live in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver BC; Minneapolis is father north than where the bulk of the population of Canada lives.

              Edit: Figured you might want a source. 70% of Canadians live South of the 49th parallel.. Minneapolis lies near the 45th parallel.

    Don’t know about tats, but I have a feeling obesity wouldn’t be quite as popular if the way of expression was your body instead of your clothes

    Most tattoos just look bad. They stopped being cool a long time ago, old women and conservatives get them now. Most of the time when I see them I think “wow you had disposable income in your early 20s, that’s so cool”.

      Not all people with tattoos are trashy, but all trashy people have tattoos.

      There are few possible non-political comments I could disagree with more.

      they fit with certain aesthetics (mostly other tattoos and piercings) and not much else, but on people with their entire upper body covered in tattoos it can work well

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
