Influencer Jenna Barkley, 37, says you can guess a person’s age by the location of their tattoos on their body – but the announcement has sparked fierce debate.
“As a mid-millennial, some popular placements that are different from my teenage and young adult years include the lower back, hip bone, shoulder blade, top of the foot, rib cage, forearm, inner wrist , “Barclay told newsweek,
He added, “In the early 2010s there were more specific tattoo trends like a mustache on the inside finger and backward writing on the collar bone like Rihanna.”
Barkley admits that, like many fellow millennials, he followed these trends in his tattoo placement, but now he’s curious about what today’s cool kids are choosing.
The first thing she did when she first appeared was to wag her tongue asked his Instagram followers To identify which tattoo locations best represent the decade of the 2020s, say: “What’s the Trump stamp of 2024?”
“What’s the best tattoo placement from this time period?” he asked. “The focus is not on design, but on the space that will someday identify tattoos as the products of 2020.”
The question quickly went viral, with his post receiving over 4.2 million views and 27,700 likes as well as thousands of comments.
He added that “the random-feeling sticker style placement of small tattoos above the knee, on the back of the arm above the elbow, and on the sternum were probably the most common reactions.”
Tattoo artists also seemed to agree with the trends.
The video also highlights how fast trends are evolving nowadays, with tattoo placement and designs spreading widely and changing rapidly thanks to social media.
“With social media now, trends spread and evolve in different ways. I think it’s hard to agree on an answer because trends move so quickly now, and people want to feel unique or feel like they’re on to the next thing before they move on,” Barclay. Said.
This comes as the millennial generation and Gen Z disagree about having a wardrobe full of trends.
For example, Millennial fashionistas are staunchly defending their love for the jean jacketA fashion statement popular since the 1950s.
When? a woman on tiktok While Birdy suggested that her fellow millennial women should stop wearing blue jean jackets, and begged them to “please hang ’em up”, many of her generation strongly disagreed.
“The congregation has spoken collectively and said no! Very respectfully!!!” The most liked comment said.
