he was a bit judgemental, but i don't understand all this energy towards the OP otherwise. If you're in your late 20s- mid 30s you HAD to see the shift in tattoo culture.
I remember when having sleeves and all this other shyt seemed like the whitest shyt you could do. Go back to some 90s footage of sports and the difference is jarring. It wasn't a tat in sight. Now its everywhere. But if you ask what happened and how it changed so dramatically, muhfukkas go on the attack... My guess is cuz they don't fully know themselves. I have nothing against tats, or no tats at all, but there shouldn't be a problem asking about it given the our culture. This is all VERY recent.
I feel like lil wayne started the wave

Corny, pretentious thread.
Follow culture. I remember nobody wqs rocking tats hardbody in the NBA till Iverson came thru and crushed the buildings.A lot of brehs believe that putting tattoos on their body will make them look cool. And, unfortunately, they're usually right. A lot of women, for whatever reason, find men with tattoos attractive. Another reason is social media and how it attracts weak-minded people who mimic the personalities who have huge followings. They see a bum ass mixtape rapper whose body is covered with tattoos, observe that he has 300K followers (many of whom are fake, mind you), and rush to the nearest tattoo parlor to get as many tattoos as they can afford.
To each their own. I have 0 tats and wouldnt want any, simply for me...im not trying to be "cool" or whatever other reason..plus i change my mind too much
I know people who got tatted in high school with uglyness. seeing it now is

I'd have more hoes if I got tatted up
This is true.I know some chicks who get moist at the sight of tats.I was having a casual conversation with a chick
at work the other day.She was yapping about her relationship problems, so I asked her "What exactly are you looking for
in a man?"...The first reply out of her mouth was "For one, he HAS TO BE TATTED..OMG I LOVE TATS!"
....Not saying she can't find a decent dude with tats, but im just saying...
it's not even a big deal anymore since everybody has them...I always laugh at the tatted people at work thinking they're professional edgy

I'm 36 and have no tats. 
I remember the first time I saw someone with a tat as a kid in the late 80's. It was a fat biker cac on Harley who had a barb wire arm tat and I was like 
. Those were the only people that had tats back in the late 80's/early 90's. Even killers and d-boys had zero tats. The first major black celeb to have visible tats was Pac. I feel like Cash Money brought that shyt to another level in the 99 and 2000. By the mid 2000's being tatted up became a more common sight. Them L.A. nigs stole game from the cholos and made face face tats mainstream. The last ten years it's exploded. The younger generation doesn't blink twice at the thought of getting a face tat. I don't have any tats because I face enough discrimination as its. Cops searched my car a few weeks ago and I was dressed like Carlton Banks that day because it was Sunday and I had come from church earlier. 
I always
when I see little short hood nikkas tatted up. They are clearly trying to look tough so they get left alone. Animals in the wild do it like how the puffer fish puffs up so he won't get eaten.

I can’t speak for nobody but it’s a cultural thing for some folks. My late mother got me my first cross tattoo as a kid. These face tats and getting ya whole damn body done is something that’s become more popular these days. When I got my back done and my late pops went berserk on me.

ITT: people who got tattoos as an ostentatious expression of who they are to the world, and then get upset when they get judged unfavourably.
