Don't much care for tats myself (especially "black & blue" marks on women), but mostly I think it says alot that except for celebrities (whose whole life is about getting attention), you mainly only see tattoos on the Walmart and hillbilly types, not on doctors, engineers, surgeons, CEO's, etc.
So mostly tattoos just come off just looking like a big "F.U. statement" by narcissistic "underachiever" types, who figure they have nothing to lose anyway.
Besides, if you're already an unattractive or uninteresting person, seems like getting "inked" really ain't gonna help that, anymore than graffiti 'beautifies' a ghetto.
Actually I know some successful business men who have tattoos and brands...My dad is an executive at a construction company in DC and has several...

One of my good friends has a lower back tat, she owns her own business, is a past president of the local United Way, and has been married for 20 years to a very successful man, so glad your post is so quick to stereotype.

This post gets my vote for uninformed ignorant idiotic post of the day...and this comes from me, someone with no tattoos and no plans on getting inked.

My contention with this topic is how can you judge someone based on a tattoo? The firefighters after 9/11 got names of their fallen tattooed on themselves but that somehow makes them bad people? Military service members get tattoos, yet this somehow makes them underachievers?
Tattoos are a personal choice. I actually think they add character to a person. A friend from college has his infant son's foot prints tatted over his heart...which I think is an awesome tribute.

My doctor, my regular nurse practitioner, my genetics specialist and my regular surgeon and his brother all have tattoos. My dentist has half sleeves and a mohawk
Our chief pilot (who makes 130K a year and participates in air races...he's an amazing pilot) also has a rather large tattoo on his back.

Well... the closest WalMart is 45 minutes away from where I live so I don't have a lot of experience with that. However, we do have a Costco and I've seen plenty of tattoos there. I've also seen tattoos at our local 'ridiculously expensive' hippie food store.

Tattoos are a "personal choice", "sentimental value", a "tribute", "military/prison", etc..... all yes. Adds "character", yeah maybe, but so do "scars".
But "attractive", I don't think so, anymore than a butterfly, etc. on an overweight gal is gonna make her anymore "desireable" than she was already. Just sayin'....
