Then you are judging people wrong. I know people who are middle class and wealthy that have tattoos. My mother, my sister, and I have tattoos and are not poor or lower working class.
Heck, do you consider an old military man with a tattoo poor or lower working class?
You have just been left behind in the world and to many people tattoos are no longer taboo.
They should difiantly be done with some class. Some are just WTF, why would someone do that! My problem to why I never got one is seeing how they get wider and sag as one gets older. Those stomach and ass tattoos are going to be hilarious in the ole' folks home.
In another thread people concerned those who went to bars part of the lowest common denominator, don't tattoo people go to bars......maybe, they will step in with their opinion.
Why did so many people used to have mullets? Or was it just poor people?
Fads are not dependent upon economic class, per se. Tattoos are a fad that will be looked upon by the next generation as mullets, spandex, and bellbottoms are looked upon by today's generations. Corsets were a fad for women at one time. How do we view tightlace corsets now?
Every generation has a supposed "rebel yell." It makes me laugh because it has all been done before, including the ass-crack pants thing. At some point down the road tattoos (and ass-crack pants) will be an old-folks rest home thing and the kids will shake their heads and laugh. My generation laughed at the fads of the fifties and sixties. The cycle continues...

Big difference is the mullet can be changed real easily and the corset can be taken off. Tats, not so easy. Even piercings can be removed and most people won't see the tiny holes from them.

I was born in the mid-40s and I laugh at the fads of the 50s and 60s. Of course, it helps that I spent the entire 60s in a military school and then in the military myself though the entire 70s.
Most fads have proved to be ridiculous, time-limited and most faded away although retro is popular among some. Tats are far more permanent and may, in the end for some, be all the more laughable, limiting and regrettable.

But as I always say the questionable choices of our youth are not a permanent disfigurement.
Tattoos are a fad. Looking how many singers, pro athletes have tats....its a "look".
