I have grown a lot and have known many nice folks covered with tattoos.
But, why does Hollywood keeps portraying thugs, druggies, and criminals as heavily tattooed? I think it is a disservice to nice decent people with tattoos. It is really a disservice to folks in real life.
If you choose to get heavily tatted up you take on the stereotype, stop complaining. It's like saying if I starting wearing baggy clothes and walked around with my jeans past my package, of course people are going to think I'm a hood rat.

But, that is not what I hear from tattooed folks. They do not think there is a stereotype to tattoos. They think is perfectly normal.
A lot of ordinary, average people try to portray themselves as being tough by getting tattoo'd, thanks in part, to Hollywood, I'm sure.
I always suspected that. People in this country are so f-ing stupid I bet that's the precise reason they get those tattoos. Another is probably to get laid.
There are nice people with tattoos but most people I know who have tattoos get them where the sun doesn't shine.
In other words, they get them in a non conspicuous place. These people are concerned about their careers and realize that if their arms and neck are all red and blue colored they stand a lesser chance of being taken seriously when they go to apply for a job.
I don't know if it's just Hollywood portraying tattooed people in a negative way but for a long time tattoos have been considered to be out of the mainstream and sort of low class.

While a lot of thugs are heavily tattooed I know normal many hard working people (male & female) with multiple tattoos.
