If long beards and forearm tats are an indicator of white trash, half of dudes are white trash these days. It's a fad. Soon everyone will realize how stupid they looks with the beards; considering everyone else has one and shave - fad done. Of course you cant just shave off the tats. They'll all look like stupid wannabe tough guys for the rest of their lives.
I giggle whenever I see some 40-50 year old with some tribals... barb wire around the bicep... Asian writing tats. I'm sure they looked sweet in 1994
