I didn't have any tattoos until I came to Thailand and my Thai friends asked me if I didn't want to go together with them and get sak yants.
But on the other hand, back home all of my family have tattoos, and all are honest working people, and not degenerates like those working in finance, lawyers or a plushy offices, just stealing hard working people's money.
Because frankly, who is worst for the world?! A person who is working hard for their living and doing some drinking, gambling or whatever, or someone like the CEO of Blackrock with billions to his name, closing down companies and factories, not because they are making a loss, but because they aren't making ENOUGH profit... I worked for one company that was closed down by the owners because we "only" made a yearly 15% ROI.
