You all?
Not me.
I do approach people and comment on their Tats if half decent, also if she is fit and the OH is no-where around

it exemplifies how social media influences trends & behaviour, versus individuality/personal freedom.
interesting podcast on r4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001f4y7
greeks&romans only had them on criminals, hadn't appreciated you can have tattoos that will naturally disappear over 3/4 years https://news.artnet.com/art-world/otzi-the-iceman-tattoo-show-2036395,

That doesn't hold any weight - what about people who got tattoos in the 30's until the early 2000's where there was no social media aside from newspapers?
They fend off the weak of mind too.
I'd love to get a tat. But always have better things to spend money on.

It's another aspect of tribalism, about fitting in and being cool. The very vocal aversion to tattoos is a kind of Hipsterism, in that regard.
You will tend to find that people like this flock together. They find their people and collectively dismiss as a 'trend' of 'retards' something that humans have been doing for thousands of years.
Mostly their slaves, I understood, though it was adopted by the late Roman Army to mark their soldiers with SPQR and so on.
I've often thought about getting a tattoo but couldn't decide on what to get and where I'd have it done. It has to mean something, right?
There was a video on youtube I think, a spoof I'm sure, of a lass who get's her boyfriends name tattooed - "I love Curt" but due to the font used it looked like it said and meant something else entirely.

It only has to mean something to you... and then only if you want it to have meaning. Remember, you're not getting a tattoo for anyone else.
And remember that your body is going to be either 6ft under or ash in a few years time anyway.
I take an objective view since it is something additional to your body.
