I am 98% positive that I will never have a tattoo of any sort. (GenX here)
I avoid anyone IRL, or on the "dating" apps, that have tattoos above and beyond simple, little, discrete, tasteful ones. In my mind, these types of people are probably doing other crazy things that I don't want to get involved with (smoking, drinking, drugs, or etc.)
Rarely do I see a tattoo that I dig - the other day there was this one guy who had a cute little starfleet tat on his chest near his shoulder - that one was kinda cool, and covered when he has a shirt on.
I saw some guy with a little keystone symbol on one of his pecs, which prob means he's from here in Pennsylvania. That was tasteful.
In my line of professional business: if I were a hiring manager, I should not be able to see a tattoo on a applicant.
Tattoos look horrible on aging people, especially as skin sags and the tattoos show signs of fading.
To each their own, though.
