No, I've never thought someone was annoying because they sported a tattoo. In fact, some tattoos are quite beautiful when done by talented artists. To each their own.
There are several reasons to have tattoos, mainly to express one's individuality, then there is the obvious to me it is their body, their decision what to do with it and their money so who cares and the BIGGEST reason to get tattoos everywhere is to annoy people who think tattoos are annoying.
That's exactly why most people get ordinarily-visible tattoos, because they're hoping they will offend and annoy those who dislike them. It's a sign of immaturity and if those self-desecrators ever do become functional adults, they will regret what they did to themselves, but rarely admit it.
All people are annoying some times.
Some people are annoying all the time.
It has nothing to do with tattoos though.
Personally, I wouldn't get a tattoo but I find them interesting on other people. I often wonder if they have a special meaning to them. My dad had one on his arm: a heart with my mother's name in it. He got it before he went overseas to fight a war. He said it made him feel like she was with him and reminded him what he was fighting for.
I see tattooed people all over where I now live, and I don't even register it any more. If people want to spend money on tattoos, and they love how they look, then I'm OK with that.
I don't want a tattoo myself. If I were 20 years younger, I might have gotten a small tattoo somewhere not normally noticed. But in general among my age group, a noticeable tattoo would lead to fewer opportunities for oneself. So, I would not have done this when I was younger.
I don't think doing tattoo is inherently bad. I am not attracted to them though.
I'm not talking one or two tattoos, but tattoos all over their body. Of course, it is their body. However, I find those people with tattoos all over their arms, legs, body, everywhere very annoying and can't understand why anyone would do that!?
Don't find them annoying as much as disgusting. Why anyone would choose to insect ink into their skin and walk around like a branded mule is beyond me? I could see why service men in the wars got them and prisoners but the average Joe or women? Looks ridiculous, especially when they get old and we'll have a generation of grandparents with skulls and devils. I would never consider dating anyone with a tattoo. Instant deal breaker. I'm not shalllow. It just repulsed me. To each their own.
To me, tattoos harken back to my days in law enforcement when we "read" tattoos to determine gang affiliations. I find them most unappealing.
Perhaps. However, today it is likely that the doctors and nurses who care for you on your death bed will have a tattoo or several.
Same for the lawyer who draws up your will.
