But, I assume someone at least once pondered that issue.But, who knows, maybe I am acting old fashion.
Nevertheless, I think there is a difference between tattooed and non-tattoed people. Or maybe there is none. Perhaps its is just coincidence.
I suspect there are differences between people for a wide variety of reasons, but I don't think that having tattoos or not having tattoos would account for much of a difference. I would think other factors, such as age, background, political views, religion (or lack thereof), education level, etc would make people form groups that you could identify easier that "tattooed" or "not tattooed."
I know some very conservative people who are tattooed. I know young people... older people, poor, rich, educated, high-school dropout, etc.
I don't think there's one thing that tattooed people all have in common for sure except that they have tattoos.
Ditto people who are not tattooed.
Except that people who have tattoos are highly unlikely to be sitting around asking themselves why people are NOT tattooed... and people who do NOT have tattoos are a bit more likely to be asking themselves why people DO have tattoos.
This is a generalization, of course, and doesn't apply to everyone.

You have provided a good answer to the question and I congratulate you.
Nevertheless, there are some folks that "you and I know" would never get a tattoo. That is what I am looking for. I know I would never get one, but other than the fact that is permanent I cannot come up with another good reason.
I wouldn't. I think tatoos are ugly. I don't like ugly graffiti on a beautiful building either.
I hate graffiti on Historical sites, Natural objects, private property... lots of graffiti is ugly vandalism but there is pretty cool graffiti out there mostly on rather boring walls which does not really bother me and some is really cool art.
I have seen some tattoos which would turn me off but others which I found pretty hot- I think I would try and lick them off though.
I have no Tattoos and have never sprayed graffiti but I can appreciate creative art of all kinds.
A sailing friend of mine spent some time in the South Pacific islands- he befriended some locals and ended up with traditionally done tattoo I was kind of jealous of that.
Actually if a woman has tattoos it can be over looked...IF she is highly attractive to begin with....but the most attractive do not have tatts... What is funny out of my two daughters and two adult sons only the girls have minor tattoos...One daughter has a musical note on her ankle - oddly I pointed it out to her that it looks pretty good IN THE MIRROR....but the artist did the not BACKWARDS!...... The other has a tatt on the back of her shoulder....it is dog paw print....she loves her dogs...Her tattoo reminds me of the fact that she lets dogs walk all over her....I really do not see the point of these markings....The worst I saw was a homeless guy who had his whole face tattooed black....totally weird....

Tattoos as art?
