"No question"

Should I get a tattoo in the new year?

Tattoos have long since become socially acceptable in our culture. What's more, those who haven't had tattoos now seem to be outnumbered.

The cabaret artist, author and expert on human nature Stefan Vögel answers questions that others don't even dare to ask. This time it's about tattoos - should the last "unpainted" people get tattoos in 2025?

When I was a little boy, only people from three walks of life had tattoos: Sailors (anchors, hearts and women's names), criminals (guns and roses) and prostitutes (men's names and tears). It is well known that the clientele of skin painting has expanded considerably in recent decades, and if someone sees a tattoo of deer antlers in front of them today, they are far from classifying the wearer as a hunter.
