Pick one:  Low IQ.... mental illness... monkey see, monkey do. 

95% of the people in this world are sheep... they follow the herd.

Personally, not for me. But they can look good sometimes, such as those Yakuza style tattoos which can look quite beautiful.

In men it gives them some sort of "badass" or "warrior" look, hence masking their insecurities
In women, it makes them look like whores, wich in their heads means power or emancipation.

Most people with tatoos are cookie cutters that just go with the flow.

Governments in the UK wanted to introduce photo ID cards for everyone, it didnt happen so they made tattoos popular, now the majority have tattoos making them easy to identify.

Goes back to mental illness I mentioned above.  Also, self-loathing is another factor.

Tattoos used to be a way to stand apart from the crowd.  Now they are used as a way to fit in with the crowd.   Beards are becoming the same way now.

I got my tattoos when I was around 18 years old.  I wasn't dumb but I certainly wasn't wise at that age either.

ALL tattoos look like shit! The ultimate in aesthetic bad taste.

And they don't get any better as you age. They make sagged out and wrinkly, look even worse. They'll make you look even stupider as you get older.

Nailed it. When I was in high school and college the only ones with tattoos were some military guys and bikers. Now when I go to the beach and I look at a family they all have them. Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad and teen age kids are all tatted up.  I don't know how they are considered cool anymore.  The beard thing is another thing that started out cool and unique.  It's just played out.

THIS!!

Not to mention, the whole, "How will they look when you get older?" When I am 90 years old, how my tattoos look will be the LAST thing that I am concerned about.

Old people with tats look like larger degenerate assholes than dumb young people with tats... more indecent and lame.

Peeps love to look like filthy, retarded pieces of shit these days. it requires intelligence and even the smallest degree of morality to understand that drawing on urself is not appropriate past age 2.

if u spot a loser with tats, thats all u need to know... you've encountered a mentally ill dim bulb.

Cultural thing.

Bbing culture
Beach/surfer culture
skateboarding punks culture
prison culture
gang culture
Martial arts culture (Thai kickboxers... Mma guys)
ethnic culture (Pacific islanders/samoans... Mexican or Hispanic [salvadorians] or Japanese or philipino, could also go under 'gang culture'....along with Chinese & viet or lao)
Biker culture (could also go under gang or prison culture, along with mexican, Chinese or Lao... Japanese dudes tend to get their ink not in prison)

... All my ink was done in prison and all the stencils used were drawn by me (those 3-4 summers of art school as as a kid paid off. Lol).

Thanks again taking such a great interest in my life
