Have tattoos for males gone from being for "tough guys" to feminine/metrosexual men? (college, issues)

I used to see a guy with cartoon tattoos. But not the superheroes. Elroy Jetson, Scooby Doo, Barney Rubble.
I saw a guy like that in a grocery store a while back. He was in his early to mid 20s.
He was showing them off by wearing a muscle shirt and he obviously worked out at a gym. He was smiling and was with a small group of people (maybe gym friends) walking like he was real proud. I couldn't get over how silly he looked...

And he probably didn't even know you were alive and still doesn't. I have to wonder who's the silly person.

The no-brainer answer is the grown man showing off the multiple childish and silly cartoon tattoos. Obviously he could care less about me, or anyone else who disliked his tattoos.
I can't believe I had to state such basic common sense.
I'm entitled to my opinion and I stated multiple times that one has the right to scar their body if they want to.
I don't think people have the same fear of being judged that they once had. We are stuck with this body for a lifetime, cannot do much to alter it, so decorating it seems as natural as decorating anything else. Have fun and do what you want on your "meat suit."
I was at an Oktoberfest event yesterday, and there was a man in his early 20's walking around without a CLOTH shirt, but had 100% tattoo coverage from his wrists to his neck, covering both arms and his entire (visible) torso, as well as his legs from his ankles up his calves to his pant legs. The ink was all one color (slightly bluish black) and perfectly matched stylistically. I don't know the theme, the details were very fine and small, but it was amazingly artistic and perfectly designed as a single art piece.
They were positioned in such a way that wearing a suit and tie, you would never know he was inked at all, let alone covered.
Anyway, all I could think of looking at him was, it's must be melancholy for him to drive by a tattoo shop and know that he simply had no more space left to add anything. His days of getting tattoos was over.
I can't even imagine picking something I would love forever. My favorite shirt today will not be my favorite shirt in another year.

Given how most of us change and evolve regarding our interests and our relationships as we age, I find it difficult to believe that most people will feel that their trendy tattoos are still relevant to their lives when they are in their later years.
When you consider how permanent a tattoo actually is, I believe than many people will come to regret their youthful decisions regarding body art.
Or, should I have stated that they will later "regert" those decisions?

LOL
I saw a very similar one to that with a mis-spelling. It said "No ragrets"

What you are calling "common sense" isn't that, because it is fixed on the wrong person.

Indeed, you can have your opinion, and the other fellow's right isn't even up for discussion.
But it is equally silly to waste your time huffing and puffing about those cartoons. You're carrying them around as much as he is.
There is an old story about two monks who come to a street corner and see a prostitute standing there unable to cross in her finery because the street is a wet and muddy mess. One monk picks her up and carries her across and puts her down on the opposite side of the street. The two monks continue on their way, but the one who did not do the carrying is huffing and puffing at his companion: "How could you do that! What a dumb wretchedly stupid thing to do in front of people! How dreadful!"...and on and on.
After listening to this harangue for several blocks, the first monk turns to the other and says, "Put her down!"

Yup people do age. SMH. Now people are paying good money to have tats removed. What really gets me are those holes people put in their ear lobes.
