 I was going to say you're ultimately arguing a subjective point. Tattoos are art and a form of self-expression and  For a lot of people, their tattoos have meanings beyond just getting stabbed and poked by a stranger. I can't speak for everybody else, but in my case, most of my tattoos were designed by close friends of mine. And I paid them for their time and their art because I appreciated what they did for me.

And that's fine if you don't understand it. You don't have to understand it, but don't look down on people and judge them  just because they have tattoos And you personally think it's a bad choice.  
 And also to be completely fair, even as a person with tattoos, there are still some tattoos I see, like certain face tattoos and whatnot that make me think like, wow, okay, that was a choice you made. Not a choice I would make, but whatever. 
 Yeah, and face tattoos definitely hurt an individual in the professional world, even in the trades.
