I’ve always considered them to be primarily the domain of Navy/Marines and bikers.
The “individuality” the bearer of a tattoo had in the past is washed out by it’s becoming a fad. Ironically, not having them seems to be more a sign of not being part of the “herd” now than having them.
I recall catching flack in my riding days : "You can't be a biker, you don't have a tatoo!"
To which I replied, "I've never gone 120+ on a tatoo, either."
I just never saw anything I wanted to wear that long.
