Tattoos don't make people trashy. Acting trashy is what makes people trashy. Judging a book by its cover can take you down a very lonely road. Its unfortunate that people continue to make this same mistake time and time again. I would surely be very bored if i only surrounded myself with people that looked, acted, and believed just as i do. What's the fun in that?!

I will admit, many people with tattoos are uneducated and base, and do it to be "cool." But to call the whole group on average "light in the brains department" is absurd - there are many doctors, business people, and other highly intelligent folk with ink, and many also without.
I did a search and was able to find a link. It's the third item listed. I'm not sure if 5 points is considered significant or not. Here's why I think there is a difference. While there are tattooed doctors etc the professional class is probably the only one left where the majority is not tattooed. In lower socioeconomic groups it is rare to find anyone who is not tattooed, especially younger people. At the extreme end of the spectrum, almost all prisoners (a low IQ group) are covered in tattoos. So yes all kinds of people have tattoos but not in equal percentages.
I'm all in favor of them. They are an expression, made voluntarily, to me and the rest of the public, which enables us to judge people. I don't like to judge people without basis, so I wait until they express themselves. If they express themselves with a tattoo, it speaks loud and clear to me what kind of a person they are. I stay away. Especially if you have a tramp stamp.

I also tend to think that people who get tattoos, especially those who have a lot of them, have something that's a little off about them emotionally.
Does anyone else, agree? Disagree? I'm sure the people who have tatoos will disagree and most of those who agree won't have them.
It's body graffiti, pure and simple. Looks about as appealing as graffiti on a building. Worst thing is that it is just about impossible to remove when the person grows up and regrets the tattoo or when the body changes and distorts the image.
its not a style
its not body art
its not a personal statement
mark of the beast and 40% of young people gotem.
