Oh, I can imagine it. I seek out the company of people who get it, and there are more than a few, so it's a drum I never quit beating. But yeah, too many Americans in particular are obsessed with a word like, "Freedom" but only think it should apply to those who hold all the same values and opinions they do. Freedom to be just like me, or be treated badly, punished for being the odd nail sticking out of the board, if I can possibly make that happen. Gives me a right case of "You keep saying that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means."
But hey...anyone is free to be a jerk. I'm free to think that they are a jerk. Life goes on.
Not gonna blast ya, but you are in Florida. Out here, a guy with stars tattooed on his neck could absolutely get a job making good money in a business casual office like the one where I work. When I was in Washington state, I worked for an energy management firm up there, and the most senior Analyst and one of the top employees, was a witchy older lady with purple hair and several visible tattoos.
There are regional differences, and it's hard to realize that the "how it is" where you are, isn't the same everywhere, unless like I have, you move around and live in different areas.
I wonder if those that don't like tattoos see it the way I do.
IMHO, it's like going to an art gallery and seeing a nice painting that someone has desecrated with a magic marker or graffiti.
Do you control what the gallery chooses to hang on its walls? NOPE.
Same with people and tattoos.

When in doubt, check it out: FAQ
What's more important, the tattoo or the relationship? If a woman with whom I had a relationship, got a tattoo, she would have known in advance what my opinion about it was. And her going ahead with it, could be interpreted only as a slam against me and a statement that she didn't give a damn about what I thought of her. How could that relationship continue? There would be no reason for us to stay together.
But actually for me, it would be a moot issue, because I would never choose the kind of woman who would desecrate herself with such a thing. Getting tattooed is a form of self-mutilation, the kind of behavior that tells of a psychological disturbance within.
In the case of the OP, the man didn't agree to have a relationship with a tattooed woman. He very clearly stated his objection to it; highly against it, as the OP said. If she gets one, she should expect nothing more than either the end of their time together or a severe strain put on it. In fact, it would be the same as if she told him that they were finished.

My husband is like this too, I wanted one before I was 30...he is very old-school & traditional. Views them as trashy. I want one as well, but alas...I will respect his wishes

This is what I thought too. I really wanted my tattoo, but if I go ahead and get one, I would be hardpressed if he did something "because he wanted to..." w/ disregard to my feelings....it sucks but it's "we" now, not "I"...

That's exactly how I often look at them when I see them on an otherwise pretty young lady. I see piercings that way too. I just want to say, "but, you could have been so pretty." Of course I don't say it, but I think it.

Good, because what you really mean is...
“You could have been so pretty TO ME.”
And, it’s not likely she’s trying to attract you.

Tattoos make people look low class and tacky, especially women. You wouldn't put a car sticker on a Mercede.
Mercede, is that the high class way of saying Mercedes?
