To each their own. If my husband is wearing long pants and a long sleeve shirt, you would never know that he has 30 something tattoos. He is an educated, well brought up guy, who has a great job in the white collar professional world. He loves his tattoos; they each symbolize something important about his life, including our 2 children, me, his deceased dog, etc.
I have 3 tattoos, but plan on getting more to symbolize my 2 kids; I plan on getting a Sailor Jerry style sparrow carrying a banner with their name of B-day on each shoulder blade. Unless I am wearing a swim-suit, my tattoos are not visible. However, when I get the sparrows, they will be visible with a tank top, but they will be tasteful and I will be happy to show them off. By the way, I am an educated, well brought up person who works for the Fed. Gov't, and never got in any trouble growing up, etc.
Tattoos can be done tastefully, or they can be tacky. It all depends on the person, what they have tattooed on them, and how they carry it. They just don't work for some people.
I got my first tattoo when I was 25, and I went with my Mom, (a long-time school teacher at the time) who also got her first one done at that time. My Dad came along, didn't get any new ones, but he had his old ones from his time in the Marines.
Tattoos are not just for military guys, punks or troubled youth anymore. More and more grandmas and other unexpected people are getting them these days.

nowadays it seems everyone has tats...the stigma is all gone and now its actually starting to get a little too trendy to me. I have one and planned on getting more around it and doing like a nice collage but now its like, eh...got too much other stuff to do.
I've noticed the last few years the sailor jerry style tats seem to be taking the place of the tribal armbands of ten years ago. Thats a shame because I like the sailor jerry style.

NOOOOOO!! Sailor Jerry cannot get trendy.....they are too cool to have that happen.

Sailor Jerry? I thought it was Popeye!
I read that tattoo removal business have seen an increase as the economy gets worse. Even Groupon had a deal not too long ago. Like premarital sex or marijuana smoking or living together, people are always gonna judge - that 'trashy' stigma is never going away.

If all tattoos tell you is that someone has issues, you should take a closer look. My breast cancer ribbon I got for my mother the first time she beat breast cancer isn't because of "issues". They signify memories and milestones. EVERYONE has issues, not just people with tattoos. And I'm sure there are some people who get tattoos when they're drunk or to help them cope with an issue, but to say that everyone with tattoos did the same thing is pretty ignorant in my opinion. And saying that girls with tattoos are sluts is just moronic. Tattoos aren't for everyone but the stereotypes about people who have them are just silly.
