A new article by the Huffington Post calls into question the tattoos of the middle-aged population asking if they are more taboo on adults of that age than they are on college students.

“Oddly enough, Jslow is also sans tattoos. I asked her why. “I knew my tastes would change and I couldn’t figure out the one thing I’d want to live with forever,” the article reads.

The author also says that her resistance of tattoos in middle-age comes from her fear of needles, which, after having only two piercings done in her life, she is now afraid of.
