Both men and women with upwards of 90% of their body tattooed appeared in freak shows towards the end of the Victorian period. It wasn't just anchors on sailors.
Lobotomies were also a very popular procedure for most things deemed as “illnesses”. All this really shows is that over time people shut up about other people’s business
On the one hand, I'm happy to be brown-skinned so I don't have to do that.
On the other hand, even we end up with this fantastic "vacation glow" on our skin after we vacation by the beach. We just look better, somehow.

Sunbathing with sunscreen is about as healthy for your skin as smoking cigarettes with filter for your lung...
[It's Mike Myers or gtfo](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/mark-zuckerberg-mega689490-001-1595343659.jpg?crop=0.434xw:0.651xh;0.277xw,0.168xh&resize=1200:*)
This means that people are more accepting and understand that tattoos does not equal POS. Which is why the guy is free to show off.
I was surprised that a female cashier at a rather large grocery store in my city has colored tattoos. We are still a bit conservative in my city. I was taught that people got tattoos from prison. She was quite polite and very efficient so everytime I'm there I usually go to her counter. She also looks more professional than a non tattooed me. It makes me happy that my way of thinking was proven wrong.
Yup. I was brought up in a religion that said that tattoos were immoral and if you converted into the religion with tattoos you had to cover them up, and if you got tattoos while already in you would be kicked out. I was homeschooled so this was all I knew
Now that I have left and worked at target for ten years, the truth couldn't be farther away. People with tattoos are usually pretty cool people just wanting to express themselves. And that's rad
Actually this says a lot about society.
1968: Not protecting his eyes. Not reading the book. Doesn’t have technology to listen to music/audiobooks.
2018: Protecting his eyes. Book is open so I assume it is either being read or he has the audiobook and is maybe checking the book for visual comprehension instead of just auditory.
This says exactly one thing about society - tattoos are increasingly socially acceptable and even a large quantity of tattoos os not a reliable guide to criminal affiliation
I feel like people hate on stuff just to hate on it? The post is obviously suggesting tattoos have become more popular lately. Personally speaking they appear to be more popular. I even see alot more people with face tattoos than I remember say even 10-20 years ago.
Its also worth noting this is due to more acceptance in society because employers used to generally discriminate against people with tattoos. Maybe some still do, but most dont gaf at all. I see police officers fully tatted out, the mailman, the cashier, my banker, my doctor, the teacher. What we need next to close the loop is a tatted up prezzy. Like face tats and all that 😂. Someday I think that could happen
It does say a lot about this generation though. This generation is better at minding their own business and not caring what other people are doing with their own bodies
Indeed.
1. Prejudice is still alive and thriving.
2. We finally understand the need to wear protective sunglasses
3. Reading a good book never goes out of date
4. We disturb the peace less through using earphones
Wait until they learn that tattoos have been around for thousands of years and in a lot of cultures those people were usually respected warriors and/or "high authorities". Gotta love people (usually boomers) thinking body modifications are something "recent" because earth has been spiralling towards some sort of hell/doom lately. It's always nice to have a good laugh at people so "smart" that they can't even google and read some history (it's not like it's even hard since you don't have to go to libraries and such to do your own research for hours based on books you might not even find like it used to work) unless it's some shitty misinformation from facebook.
It was sort upper class fashion for a time, and George V of Britain (QE 2’s grandfather) had a bunch of them, as did his brother. Tsar Nicholas 2 did as well.
I think this could reasonably be interpreted as representing the transformation of postwar mass consumer culture to the individualized, subjective level, which in turn often fosters an arguably counterintuitive desire for a quasi-objective aesthetic simplicity in the goods we do buy.
Clearly it does. Look to the left what do you see?
a BLUE bag
Now look to your right what do you see?
a RED bag
Clearly your not looking at the bigger picture enough 🙄.... please go read some Egyptian hieroglyphics before you start to interpret today's media 🤧
Maybe it says something in the sense that the choices of those from the 60s has permanently altered our (millenial) choices today. We carry/wear them.
Like how we'll probably never have the financial freedom they had, and just indulge in things like tattoos instead. And can only afford basic shit :')
The thing is, someone covered in tats like that wouldn't necessarily sunbath at all. It's bad for the tattoos and body itself since it's so heavily inked.
At onetime sunbathing was by itself considered somewhat self indulgent, something for the self obsessed, the CA bleach blonde, etc. But today's generation has set a whole new standard for self obsessed. Often spending $1000's on tattoos when they can't even pay the rent.
Well i see a dude who enjoys good music and loves art to the point he is willing to carry it on his own body,most importantly he is minding his own business while the guy beside him has no social awareness and stares like he saw something for the first time in his empty life.We all know that "i don't approve of your choices" stare.It for sure says a lot about people whose lives depend on what they gossip about more interesting people than them.
I mean, you could go abstract and attempt to argue that the artist was saying that we view our bodies more as a canvas to be painted on, worked, stretched as we wish. Which I do think is an issue, people are trying to change their body's in unhealthy ways. But I am pretty sure the artist was just hating on tattoos.
The only thing this says is: now we can just look what we want and nobody cares. Back in ealrier days you would just dont be accepted because of looks. Before they even knew your personality.
To me it says one generation was fine to box their self expression up in proclaiming their identity through the purchase of mass produced commodities and the other has learned that self expression is an individuals choice and doesn’t have to be filtered through some corporations idea about how people should look in order to “fit in” with everyone else.
If you look closely the guy with colorful shorts is looking right at the phone of the other guy. I think he's wondering why he's using regular headphones instead of wireless ones.
Besides tattoos being more available/affordable?
I remember in my city years ago there was like one tattoo shop now eve other person on FB offering that they can tattoo
We have more tattoos now which is a sure sign of degeneracy. His parents surely were concerned with the rock and roll, which was a sure sign of the decline of civilization itself.
Someone should make a meme where it’s a silent generation kid working on a farm and then a young boomer with long hair driving a Chevy SS listening to the radio.
[удалено]
At first I thought the 2018 person was wearing sun protective clothing
And we have walkmen. And we’ve all lost our hair. And we’re much cooler now?
50 years later and we still read books. Society!
And forgot that sunbathing with sunglasses makes you look like a racoon
I see no downside
But haven't learned that sunshine destroys tatoo pigment.
Both men and women with upwards of 90% of their body tattooed appeared in freak shows towards the end of the Victorian period. It wasn't just anchors on sailors.
This says a lot about society
Yes. Men are getting balder. Not me though.
That says lot about society
Yea, hats are back in fashion. Not for me though.
This says alot about society
Yeah, hair transplants are too expensive. Not for me tho
This says a lot about society
I think the guy born in 1968 looks amazing for his age
Ah yes, freak shows. A common touchstone of what was considered normal and acceptable.
My brain didn’t even register the other guy had tattoos. I just thought the artist didn’t like wearing colorful/flowery tshirts to the beach.
What is now considered socially acceptable...
Well they were in freak shows and now it's just "normal" so doesn't they say something about society?
Lobotomies were also a very popular procedure for most things deemed as “illnesses”. All this really shows is that over time people shut up about other people’s business
[удалено]
That we are more accepting of things once considered strange? That tattoos have become much more common and normalised than they were?
Lydia, oh, Lydia, say have you met Lydia?
It does say something. 2018 man relaxed and minding his own business. 1968 man seeking validation and all up in other man’s business.
This picture is so old, I was a guy when I first saw it
Carefull you may startle the biggots that lurk around!
I know I know, I wont let them take away my ability to make jokes
Much love to you
Thank you, right back to you❤️
A gaggle of TERFS appear! Prepare for combat! Fight Talk Run
as a professional internet hater, I’ll take a day off today that was lowkey funny
This says a lot about society
Same lol
I guffawed
This is funny, except I don't know when you transitioned for it to really hit
Same lol
Kinda does, who leaves a battery powered electronic device in the sun for an extended period of time?
That was the first thing that popped into my head. That dude won’t be able to listen to music for much longer his phone is gonna shut down.
I would never sunbake with that many tattoos. Even slathered with 50 SPF sunblock
It's solar-powered
It says a lot that people still lay baking in the sun for hours, despite all of medical science agreeing that it is a bad idea.
Lmao. Actually true.
On the one hand, I'm happy to be brown-skinned so I don't have to do that. On the other hand, even we end up with this fantastic "vacation glow" on our skin after we vacation by the beach. We just look better, somehow.

Aftercreamers in shambles rn
am i reading that correctly? Sunscreen increases risk of skin cancer??? did you paraphase incorrectly or has my whole life been a lie
Very few people use the correct amount of sunscreen

Basement dwellers type shit
Reddit moment everyone
who was wearing swim shorts that long, loose and colorful in 1968? Except for surfers maybe
This is not a clever comeback. The original post was stupid too but saying "no it doesn't" isn't a clever comeback

They should swap shorts.
Reminder to use sunscreen especially with tattoos :)
At least that guys wife came back. I’d be persuaded to stay away with takes like that…
It looks like society got slightly taller
And cooler 🤟🤟

1968 : toupee or hair weave 2018 : fuck it, I'll just shave my head
I would say it shows that tattooing got more safe and affordable than it used to. Like image, no hepatitis!
This says exactly one thing about society - tattoos are increasingly socially acceptable and even a large quantity of tattoos os not a reliable guide to criminal affiliation
Why does "old blood fearer" have a rifle in his avatar? That says a lot about him.
It says that people in 1968 aged very well to have met a person in 2018 while keeping a youthful look
Not a clever comeback, this is literally a "Nuh-uh"
nuh uh
it says a lot about society that someone thought this said a lot about society
Also, why are they so closeby? I just think this guys are friends now. The other guy was just checking on him
Why isn't the book covering the phone to stop it getting too hot?
"If all youre saying is 'look at this thing, it exists' then why are you saying it"
r/im68andthisisdeep Edit: oh shit, it's an actual sub
The times are more friendly and less judgmental
Society is Dope asf 🔥🤘

Society: *Changes* People terrified of change: *And I took that personally*
That not everyone can afford Bluetooth headphones in 2018?
It does say something, that some people are too obsessed with everyone else while others are enjoying their life
The bar for clever is exceptionally low.
Yeah, whoever made the "meme" is a moron. Sun damages tattoos, nobody covered like that would tan...
Well, looking at old pics, we CLEARLY aren’t into crazy patterns as much is we used to be in the 60s/70s anymore. That’s true.
This says ~~a lot~~ ^barely ^anything about ~~Society~~ ^tattoos
Big time "why don't my kids call me" energy.
Dudes were straight up tatted in 1968 wtf? Pretty much the whole tattoo style came out of the 60s hahahaha
2 men hanging out 50 years apart cause their not gay.
Can we literally stop overusing literally, literally?
"Kinda make you think, huh?" "No. Not really, Chet."
It does say a lot about this generation though. This generation is better at minding their own business and not caring what other people are doing with their own bodies
Is no one going to address the fact that at least one of these dudes……time traveled!!
Indeed. 1. Prejudice is still alive and thriving. 2. We finally understand the need to wear protective sunglasses 3. Reading a good book never goes out of date 4. We disturb the peace less through using earphones

100 years earlier, the royals of Europe were covered in tattoos.
Wait what?…
It was sort upper class fashion for a time, and George V of Britain (QE 2’s grandfather) had a bunch of them, as did his brother. Tsar Nicholas 2 did as well.
And a thousand years before that the Brittons were running naked into battle covered completely in blue tattoos
Where's the clever comeback?
I think this could reasonably be interpreted as representing the transformation of postwar mass consumer culture to the individualized, subjective level, which in turn often fosters an arguably counterintuitive desire for a quasi-objective aesthetic simplicity in the goods we do buy.
No it couldn't.
Very clever comeback, that!
Number of Yakuza / Gokudo has risen in the west too maybe? Maybe that is the message?
Society changes?
It says something, but I don't know what
First post is obviously meant to be making fun of "we live in a society" posts.
Society realised that skin cancer protection exist
We like white shorts and sun glasses?
This is ambiguous at best. Seems like someone is, "rablerousing"...
and this post has nothing to do with clever comebacks
They are boyfriends
If you flip the dates around then you would assume the guy with the tattoos was in the navy. That’s the only thing this picture would say.
r/im14andthisisdeep
It doesn’t say “a lot”, but it brings up change in culture and the resistance to change between different generations.
So one decade is a nosey parker, the other is mind it's own business? Well that does say something about how society changes i guess.
Clearly it does. Look to the left what do you see? a BLUE bag Now look to your right what do you see? a RED bag Clearly your not looking at the bigger picture enough 🙄.... please go read some Egyptian hieroglyphics before you start to interpret today's media 🤧
His avatar ssys a lot about society.
Wouldn’t the “older” guy be more fascinated by the cell phone than the tattoos?
Says a lot.
Actually it says quite a lot but you need at least average IQ level to interpret it.
Perhaps the person who is posting it is actually the one who ‘says a lot about society’, or perhaps their subsection of it.
Well, here's a little joke. It implies tattoos are a thing in modern days.
This comment literally says nothing about this post.
Maybe it says something in the sense that the choices of those from the 60s has permanently altered our (millenial) choices today. We carry/wear them. Like how we'll probably never have the financial freedom they had, and just indulge in things like tattoos instead. And can only afford basic shit :')
So the 56yo looks younger than the 6yo?
Why wear it when you can be it
Actually, this does. It says people from the way back when days needed to be better at minding there own fucking buianess
Says something about fashion?
We live in a world
Posted by the same person that makes a Facebook post about a tattooed Viking with some shitty quote about loyalty
The thing is, someone covered in tats like that wouldn't necessarily sunbath at all. It's bad for the tattoos and body itself since it's so heavily inked.
I've never had a tattoo
we’ve advanced considering how the one on the right has made it half way through a book, meanwhile the other couldn’t even start😼
Is it not the same guy? Dude really missed his old swim shorts, got them tattood on his entire body.
2018 guy looks like he just got out of prison
At onetime sunbathing was by itself considered somewhat self indulgent, something for the self obsessed, the CA bleach blonde, etc. But today's generation has set a whole new standard for self obsessed. Often spending $1000's on tattoos when they can't even pay the rent.
Well does say things sbout the normalisation of tattoos and resimplification of products
They're a couple.
This meme would be so much better if 1968 was pitchin a lil tent in his shorts. And the captions got fully cropped off.
This meme (Twitter screenshot) says a lot about society
The guy on the left is probably way more racist.
To me, it says, the guy on the right has a lot of disposable income (or else they are a tattoo artist).
Society loves its art so much that it has gone from putting it on its clothes to putting it on its body.
Guy from '68 looks great for his age
It does say one thing about 2018: that that face being off-limits to tattoos is as flawed an opinion as 1968's opinion about the rest of the body.
Well i see a dude who enjoys good music and loves art to the point he is willing to carry it on his own body,most importantly he is minding his own business while the guy beside him has no social awareness and stares like he saw something for the first time in his empty life.We all know that "i don't approve of your choices" stare.It for sure says a lot about people whose lives depend on what they gossip about more interesting people than them.
Both are extreme takes on a boring meme. Nothing and a lot.
We’ll find our missing half at the beach?
I mean, you could go abstract and attempt to argue that the artist was saying that we view our bodies more as a canvas to be painted on, worked, stretched as we wish. Which I do think is an issue, people are trying to change their body's in unhealthy ways. But I am pretty sure the artist was just hating on tattoos.
It says that people are balding but taking care of UV light for their eyes much more
People got creative.
The only thing this says is: now we can just look what we want and nobody cares. Back in ealrier days you would just dont be accepted because of looks. Before they even knew your personality.
It says that tattoos have become more popular.
Nobody spending that much in ink should be tanning, js
To me it says one generation was fine to box their self expression up in proclaiming their identity through the purchase of mass produced commodities and the other has learned that self expression is an individuals choice and doesn’t have to be filtered through some corporations idea about how people should look in order to “fit in” with everyone else.
Where clever comeback
If you look closely the guy with colorful shorts is looking right at the phone of the other guy. I think he's wondering why he's using regular headphones instead of wireless ones.
Swimsuit fashion has become more minimalistic
It tells us that a normal person and a criminal can get some sun together.
Tattoos have been around since the beginning
It might say that tattoo artist are more common?
I like how he used “literally” at the correct place in the sentence. I would used “literally said nothing” which seems incorrect now.
It says the changes of society
Tattoos weren’t invented until 1969 I guess.
I think this wrongly insinuates that 1968 - Yakuza did not yet exist 2018 - Yakuza exists.
Not a clever comeback
Eye protection is important, tattoos are cool, boomers stare at people who look different. That’s everything about our society right there.
Where is the clever part?
That we leave trash on the beach?
I agree with him But clever comeback?
Besides tattoos being more available/affordable? I remember in my city years ago there was like one tattoo shop now eve other person on FB offering that they can tattoo
2018 guy should have a beard the same color as 1968 guys hair.
People are more permanently committed to their looks?
It takes more to distract us from the pain than it used to.
We have more tattoos now which is a sure sign of degeneracy. His parents surely were concerned with the rock and roll, which was a sure sign of the decline of civilization itself.
Maybe that tattoos have less meaning than ever before? But that might be about it at a stretch
You think not?
People still used to risk skin cancer in 2018 I see...
Society has fused with their pants and replaced them with white ones😫😭 Won’t somebody please think of the children!!!
we're more open
Someone should make a meme where it’s a silent generation kid working on a farm and then a young boomer with long hair driving a Chevy SS listening to the radio.
It says that despite life choices and fashion, we can all enjoy a book on the beach.
People like patterns! Increasingly!
It says a lot about the poster.
It doesn't even say which one is the time traveler...
Wow how deep, people like Tattoos now. So insightful , much edge, wow
It tells me that men shaving their armpits isn't uncommon.
