#the way i spent 3 years avoiding the y2k revival just to succumb to my mid-2000s girl crushes #j2y #in watching ROL i sense a mid-late 2000s idea that tats r now sexy yet considered “trashy” bc it's still pre-hipster indie sleaze Cool Girl #tats r edgysexy but not in the flirty tramp stamp/butterfly y2k way. megan is supposed to be this “clean” model type but she has tats #and she kinda looked down on daisy who has tats as part of her rock image. and tats are expected of daisy but not megan the model #every time i caught a glimpse of megan's ankle or back tat i kept thinking... if it had even been 3 years earlier she wouldn't have them #bc they're in places that can be hidden easily so she can have her “clean” image whereas daisy's were bold and never hidden #yet daisy was relentlessly picked on and her edgy image/tats used against her by the model types #kinda like NY making fun of Hoops' bold tomboy tattoos while having a smaller one she could hide if she wanted to and got called out for it #if the blogs werent dead i'm sure i could find some kind of fucking piece on the cultural perception of tats on women from mid to late 2000 #ramblings
