see them everywhere on every classs of person

Actually no. You don't see them on every class of person - just some classes of people. Go to a large corporation and look at the management. You won't see any tatoos or piercings. Go to a hospital. You won't see any tatoos on the doctors. Go to any stockholders meeting. You won't see any tatoos on the board members.

Go to the quick lube. You will see tatoos on the people who change the oil. Go to the parole office. You will see lots of tatoos on those reporting in. Go to a courtroom. You won't see any tatoos on the judge, but you'll see them on the defendent if it's a criminal case. Get the picture?

Have you forgotten that the tattoo trend re-emerged when these people where in college? Most of the professions you just listed are staffed by those who were part of a Fraternity or Sorority. Those places are not really known for their encouragement of independent thinking.

Also, I happen to know some people in those professions with tattoos. I know a doctor who has Jimi Hendrix and the Star Wars symbol of the bounty hunter on his back. Does that make him less of a doctor?
