For the ugly ones, at least, it's a way to distract you from looking at their faces.
For the hot babes who you'd want to stare at, anyway, it's just a matter of guiding your eyes to where they want you to look . . .
Or, as you implied, the effect of a drunken stupor in front of the wrong shop at the wrong time.

Oh I imagine I'd get there real quick, even without the tatoos.

I always thought it was how people could set themselves up as unique. The irony being that everyone else gets tatoos . Never understood the things .

99% of people seem to actually believe that following a trend (read: "following the herd") makes them creative and unique.

People with tattoo's are afraid to die naked. As someone once said "get inked or die naked"

They might be never nudes. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No. Wings. At least where I served.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Hmm.
"He died with his wings on" just doesn't have the same grit.

As they say, wisdom comes with age.
Personally, I avoid public places where people remove most of their clothes, with the possible exception of certain beaches in San Diego.

Personally I like some of the more artistic tattoos, especially on nubile young women. The more aggressive, think of the Maori markings, are fantastically intimidating on a well built body.
Considered as art then some of them really do qualify, as with all art there are plenty of lousy examples as well.
As with 99% of nudity in only looks good on the young and healthy/beautiful.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Tattoos can be a nice thing, if made by someone who knows what they're doing. Else you're effed.

Side tracking a little (inspired by the headline only):
I was going to have another T-shirt made. The problem is finding a sufficiently terse wording to fit on a T-shirt. The best I have come up with yet is
Getting old
is better than
getting cool
So, do you have suggestions for improvements? Should it rather be "Being old is better than being cool"? "Being old beats being cool"?
From a terseness point of view, the classical 'Getting old is better than not to', but I consider it worn out. Besides, I like double meanings and puns.
