Ugly and a sign of poor impulse control and bad breeding.

I think it's just cultural, dude. Most people I know who get tatoos spend months to find an artist and get an appointment. Then carefully design it with the artist. There's nothing impulsive about it.

I've never seen an old tattoo that looked good.

Tattoos are the new Dane Cook. They were REALLY popular for a while, and now it's becoming fashionable to hate them.

Any you get should have cultural or personal significance, but there are a lotta idiots who think "the logo of my favorite sports team" qualifies as personally significant.

I think the "bumper sticker on a Ferrari" analogue is pretty dumb - a good tattoo artist knows how to incorporate the natural curves and angles of their subject's body as part of the overall aesthetic. But not all tattoo artists are good.

I have a bunch of them and each has a special specific meaning to me.

No one else sees them. I think stuff like tribals and other goofy designs are degenerate.

Having a tattoo once indicated a certainly level of bad assery, and also often membership to a group that was elite in some way that was mostly understood only by people with that tattoo.

Today a tattoo just means you had enough money to get one. It's window dressing nothing more, and says nothing of your inner qualities other than, of course, the ones you wished you had.

I stopped for coffee some place. It was early and the shop was mostly empty, as well it was nippy that day and the shop was cool because it was open to the outdoors. Anyhow I was greeted by a guy in a tank top and shorts sporting a full sleeve tattoo and some on his leg (or possible legs, I don't recall now). Then another fellow appeared, also lightly garbed but he had 2 full sleeves and some face tats, as well as on his legs. And then a 3rd fellow appeared but with even more tats and also gauges and piercings. It was quite engaging and humorous watching the, no doubt unintended but none the less actual, parade of oneupmanship. How ironic that these three fine specimens of edgy manhood worked at a coffee shop.

Kinda cool if you have one or two, but if you have a sleeve or are a female with upper chest and neck etc. You look like a brainless idiot.
