Only through your responses... For example, did you really mean that my previous response was "fascinating", or were you thinking more along the lines of "annoying"?

Tallybalt's assumptions may actually be ignorant. I can't say because I don't have any statistics one way or another. But at least he/she has been trying to reason it out instead of just saying "wrong".

And I have always wondered why people want a tatoo that can't be seen, that is even dumber than ones that can be. As for no one that is sorry, well, I am guessing it has to do with the type of people you hang out with or your friends are not about to admit they made a mistake. Only you know which it is, but many are sorry.

In my industry it's very common.
well I have no idea what business you are in, but I don't know of one where the CEO or even the middle management people are tatooed. I am sure there are exceptions to every rule.

That's right, I've never had a person tell me they regret their tattoo. Obviously I run around with a rag tag group.

Nobody I know has them, or at least not in visible regions (arms, legs).

If you take public transit in a rougher area of this city you will see the white trash people covered in them.

Watch an NFL game this weekend and become educated. Brady, Romo and the Mannings don't have them. The QB from SF is covered as are most linemen.

How many people do you know, as they get older and have grown up some regret getting them? I know several I might add, including our granddaughter. She has one just below her waistline, it only shows when she wears a swim suit and still she wishes she hadn't done it. I will add, she is a nurse practitioner, expecting her third baby and said she would be upset if her girls got branded, as she puts it when they are in college. Tatoos like too many body piercing gives the impression these people are not very bright. It certainly may not be true, but that is what others think.
Honestly, I've seen a lot of mid to upper management with them. Some are cleverly hidden. My favorite director/boss showed me her ankle tattoo one day and I was surprised. She always wore pants. And tramp stamp, chest tatoos, shoulders, etc. are easily covered in the workplace.
