I have a skull wearing the Statue of Liberty's crown. Got it in 1987 on my 18th birthday after working security at a W.A.S.P., Slayer and Raven show. 🤣
I was thinking butterflies too! They're popular in every era obviously but most ladies I've known w a butterfly tattoo were adults in the 90s (so yeah gen x)
I was out to eat with a Chinese friend around 1998 when he snickered at a girl's tattoo. He said it said "pain". Which actually makes sense for a tattoo.
The infamous "tramp stamp" - Celtic/tribal tattoo at the bottom of your back was immensely popular among girls.😁 But yes, weren't as nearly as tattooed as the generations that followed.
Gen Xer here. I have a lot of video game and fantasy-horror. Maybe tribal-ish, a few, but no owls or feathers. And thankfully no embarrassing coverups!
@sumo-ninja I'm assuming they meant that people get tattoos of swallows, but think they are actually getting sparrows. I'm sure they know a very common bird exists 😂😂😂
@teya5430 I have several gen x cousins with skulls, crosses, eagles and wolf heads. One of them has them all and an Indian head. 😆 they're old school bikers though so maybe they don't really count lol
I'm 28 and I'll never get a tattoo, but if I were to it would be a feather or a hummingbird. Those are probably super common and silly but either one would mean something very special to me. It's a long story but it would remind me of my dad who passed away.
Nothing wrong with common things, if you like them or feel that connection that's all that matters. I'm sorry for your loss, may his memory be a blessing. I got an origami crane tattoo because it was one of the earliest memories of my mom 😊

@@newvision4l314 The vast majority of Millinnials have Boomer parents. The average age of a first time father in the US is 31 years old. Even the oldest Gen Xers weren't that old in 1995. Obviously some of us had kids early but if someone was born in the 1980s they almost always had Boomer parents.

They got those covered up with tribal tattoos 🤣
Pamela Anderson made that popular
That's what I was going to say. Thanks to Pam in that movie.
As a Gen X... can confirm celtic, feathers and Chinese characters lol THOUGH... I did ask a Chinese friend to verify mine before I got it LOL
Good for you for having the sense to check before you get something permanently inked on your body. It amazes me how few people take that extra step.

I would absolutely get that.
Thanks so much for taking the time to translate. I find that hilarious!
That’s hilarious 😂
Bet the person tattooed knew and got it for a laugh.
And the other one is chicken noodle soup 😂
My mother with a Celtic owl and feathers going down her arm LOL
Birds are fierce after all
That sounds sick! :D (sick as in cool asf)
Don't use apple 🍎🍏!

I forgot about dolphins!

- a cat
- a butterfly
- a dream catcher
- and a hummingbird with a flower
Only 4?
The dreamcatcher is so spot on, I even started to like them 😭
Omg the humming bird
Is 4 a small amount?
>only 4
As a Millenial kid, I grew up seeing these Gen X tattoos and they impressed me so much, they're so cool
I'm sorry you have/had bad taste in tattoos --sincerely, an eldest millenial ('81)
My mom has a butterfly and a quote about self love both relating to how her divorce impacted her mental health and I think it's pretty sweet

Gen X guys have a skull. Gals have butterflies, fairies, or their signature mom cartoon character (tweety, taz, betty boop, etc)
I don't have a skull, but i do have a shrunken head on my right bicep.
I have a skull wearing the Statue of Liberty's crown. Got it in 1987 on my 18th birthday after working security at a W.A.S.P., Slayer and Raven show. 🤣
Yea, and we now have to get cover ups of those cartoons. Got a cover up today.

Cover-up of ex wives names, that would have me on the floor laughing
Damn and i wanted to get a celtic owl 😅
do what u like!! shared experiences created shared interests; it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
do it
Same bro 😂
Why cant you do it anymore
I'm so surprised butterflies weren't one. All of my tatted friends have at least 1 butterfly on them somewhere 😂
Because butterflies aren’t generational, they have been traditional since the beginning. My grandmother got one on her shoulder in the 50’s.
as a Chinese person myself I find the Chinese tattoos hilarious because some people out there be getting tattoos like “我好笨” or ”麻辣鸡”😂
and what does it mean? 😭😭

Camryn has a smile that could literally make a dude weak in the knees

Having tattoo'd nearly 15-20 years ago, can confirm ALL of these were the craze.
Most of us don't have tattoos but I remember it being a thing for girls to get a butterfly tattoo on their ankle
Yes, right?
paw prints

You do know that sparrows are real birds right?

@sumo-ninja you do know that swallows are too, right? Google "San Juan Capistrano," they have a massive swallow migration every year.
@@piperadams2571 Considering that the entire conversation is about tattoos, I thought that was obvious.
I'm getting a barn swallow tattoo for my Estonian grandma since those are the national birds. Imagine judging people on a tattoo lol
The last one for sure! I can't believe Noone mentioned the wolf heads, eagles, skulls, and crosses.
Aren't those more millenial than gen x?

Hey that last one hurt; she said we were going to be forever
OWLS IS SO ACCURATE
The tribal band around the bicep is peak 2001
Gen X here, mine are all butterflies. The Seabee and a Celtic knot.
Celtic and feathers is spot on.
Im GenX and the first response cracked me up
Last one gives no fucks and I’m here for it
As a gen x i can confirm "what's gen X" is the correct answer
What's a common Gen z tattoo? A watercolor hello Kitty zombie. See we can all play this game.
the chicken noodle soup tattoo is the type of shit I'd get as my first tattoo 💀💀💀
I'm an author.
I'm GenX.
I have a quill tattooed on my left forearm.
Not my mom having chinese characters and tiny dragons as her tattoos 🫣

None of the above - 11 & counting. 😀 🕊️
Tribal and Chinese characters were spot on! 😂
Japanese characters too (kanji)
For the Chinese characters - Bonus points if it doesn’t mean what they think it means!
Butterflies, for women, tribal for men.

The cover ups is just a savage answer
I mean these looked pretty cool minus the last one
Cameron gave the only right answer.
Lmao Dario seemed like he had so much 🫖 to tell us but stopped himself 😂
Gen X here, they're not wrong. I've got a tribal dragon so I guess I fit the stereotype. I still love it though.
That coverup was really good tho
The first one had the correct answer
the last one was on point, Millenials usually get initials 😆
That first girl’s tummy tattoo is on point
My Gen Z sister has a feather tattoo behind her left ear, symbolizing our Apache, Native American ancestors
I HAVE AN OWL WITH CELTICS😭😭😭😭, I’m gen z, help😭
One of my Gen X parents’ colleagues got a cover up of his ex wife’s name with a feather 😂
Damn I feel attacked...I have 4 Celtic tattoos, a tribal dolphin and a Chinese character....AND I want an owl 😂
The 3rd guy seems the most accurate
I just realized I'm only four years off from being Gen x 😂
Cameron’s stomach makes me feel warm inside
A fool and his heart will soon indeed go separate ways.
butterflies, dreamcatchers, quotes (especially the tiny cursive ones, usually on the rib), and stars
The barbed wire going around the arm is a classic
I feel attacked lol
as someone with a dad who has a chinese tattoo, i can confirm 😭
Last one took no prisoners
