If you're going to have a tattoo you should do something interesting with it and not just get some random Chinese symbols, or a butterfly.

Now not many people have no ink at all so, if you were looking to be “unique…” (I mean, just sayin.')

Pretty sure even with how popular they are, most people still don't have any. Might depend on area and social circles.

Spicy, I'll say I have less beef with tattoos and more beef with the people getting them now. Counter-cultural signifiers are getting really few and far between. Tattoos used to means you understood something about the world and wanted it reflected on your skin. Now you have folks with full sleeves working in finance departments for multi-billion dollar conglomerates.

I used to work at a shop run by bikers, and the vibe was immaculate. I'd shark the pool table because I was young and seen as inexperienced. Now when I go into a shop everyone is advertising their instagram and there's essentially no acknowledgment of culture. If you ask a question as simple as who owned the shop, you get stares like their brain was just sucked out a tube.
