true, but in western societies adorning yourself with visible tattoos is just about the dumbest thing a young person can do from an economic standpoint because it will limit access to the higher echelons of socio-economic status, i.e. you won't see many tattoos in:
academia, ivy league universities
medicine
wall street
CEOs of any company
high fashion
and serious mainstream business
yes you can have visible tatts and drive a tow truck, and maybe one day own the towing service, but if you have visible tatts and apply for the CEO or high end marketing job you will be passed over in favor of an equally qualified person without visible tatts.
even porn models will get more work WITHOUT tatts.
tatts will rarely add beauty, there is a reason people like to look at met-art girls.
