Survey Finds You Might Be Too Old For a Tattoo or Reality TV
British researchers polled 1,000 people on trends, fashion, and a number of other categories to see what age was perceived as "too old" for an individual to partake in different trends, activities, types of clothing, and a variety of other things. The survey seems to hone in on the age of 30 (or near it) for being too old for most things respondents were asked about, with a few exceptions.
Among a greater list of results, here are some of the highlights for perceived "age limits" for different things:
