I think tattoos are dumb. (Same with piercings)
While there are a few exceptions, generally it's just another form of generic attention whoring.
"Hur dur I got some stars on my back, I'm such a deep person inside."
"Look at these Japanese symbols I got tattooed, or are they Chinese. Maybe they're Korean, how should I know lol."
"I got an anchor on my wrist to represent the patriarchy keeping me down."
