When I was ten years old in 1967 I noticed that all the old women in Church had no eyebrows and they used an eyeliner to draw their eyebrows on. For a long time I thought that as women aged their eyebrows fell out and they had to draw them in. Then several years later I realized that in the 1920's it was the fashion to pluck out your eyebrows and pencil them in and these women had all plucked out their own eyebrows when they were young. However, when they were in their 60's they all looked silly to a young ignorant boy. I imagine that in forty years there will be a lot of old people with funny dark colored blotches on their skin, where they once had tattoos, and young children will puzzle at that.
