Aside from the obvious beard that can be used to identify a hipster against a non-hipster, tattoos are quite a big give away as well. Not football emblem tattoos, and not inks of commercial crap - oh no, there's a whole other level of tattoos for the aspiring hipster. Birds, teacups, roses, arrows, tiny stars, compasses, nautical signs, deer, shells; they're all cute and quaint and quite English in some cases. No big old Marvel baddies for you; you'll settle for an inch wide snowflake in white ink, thanks.
