They don't really bother me. It is kind of scary when people have them all over their faces, though!

I've long said that when I am in my late 70s I will consider a tattoo. I'm not there yet, but I sometimes think about what it will be.
The cutest tattoos I've seen were on a young woman's arm; just a bunch of "doodles" and it was really quite striking. She was a cashier at the grocery store and when I told her I liked them, she said she had been upbraided repeatedly by many customers. She started wearing long sleeved shirts because she was tired of the negative comments.
They're just so darn permanent. Is that why we're drawn to them?

Their body, their choice.... but I definitely prefer an UNtattooed man.

Yes, you can @Cats3000, unless you break any discrimination laws.

This is one thing I will never get. Not that I hate tattoos, I just hate needles.
A family member and her then fiance got tattoos that kind of went together. It didn't last and now she is left with this weird looking tattoo, and no money to get it taken off with.

I don't mind tattoo's on a guy but I really don't care for them on women. To me it mars the woman's body and doesn't look attractive.
I do prefer a colorful tattoo over just an inky outline. The tattoo mentioned of 'under the sea' sounds appealing to me - fish and coral and water - shoulder to elbow, that wouldn't bother me in the least. But if it were on a woman's arm, for some reason, I don't think I'd care for it as much. jmo

As a rule, I appreciate some of the amazing artwork I"ve seen done with them, but I personally find them to be a possible sign of people not being content/comfortable in their own skin. I feel the same way about makeup, hair coloring, cosmetic surgery, etc.
I'm not saying any of those things are wrong, but to me, they are a product of 'society' saying what we should look like, what we should do, how we should conform, rather than just being naturally who we are, and accepting, content and proud of it.
Dressing unique and tattoos are a way for people to be themselves and not conform to the conservative norm that most are told by a conservative society that this is how we should look rather than being what you want to be!! That to me says many are not afraid to step out of the box and be themselves and not follow the "Emily Post" rules for how to live!!! The same for anything anyone does to express themselves. You have to be comfortable in your own skin to allow yourself to really show who you are! Cookie cutter conservatism is gone and not the norm anymore - thank goodness!
It's not your outward appearance but the person you are inside!!!
Quaint. That's what many "in the norm" were brought up to believe. I'd like to think that it's still true.
Based on those I see on a daily basis, however, a person who decides to be unique might choose not to be pierced or tattooed. Now there's a person who will stand out in a crowd. Hence the OP's illustration.
I work with a psychiatric resident who has an enormous human heart tattooed on his arm. It intrigues me. I'll have to ask him if he had once planned to be a cardiologist.
