I think they might be referring to hair that is so long as to be pointless. You know, the Rapunzel look where it's down to people's feet? That's a fad - a holdover from the hippie era.

Also, people will have to think harder and longer about the risks of getting tattooed. Personally, I hope tattoos go back to being more underground. I'm sick of getting lumped in with Brittany and her tribal/butterfly tramp stamp and Bryce with his barbed wire armband.

I second the bolded part. There's a huge difference between someone who gets a tattoo because they thought long and hard over something that will be on their skin for the rest of their life, and some guy who got a tribal armband because it's the cool thing to do nowadays.
