Asian countries have the right idea about tattoos, read: criminals.
A lot of cognitive dissonance in regards to tattoos on this forum and the manosphere in general. On the one hand, being seen as somewhat 'criminal' or 'bad' is a positive 'alpha' characteristic; Tattoos can often reflect this...But, tattoos are sad and stupid, right?

The thing is they no longer have any meaning for men. They have lost their signaling ability because every other guy has one.
You know your tattoo doesn't communicate that your're a "bad boy" effectively when you visit your accountant and find that he has a full arm tattoo.
Real "bad boys" or criminals need to think of a different signaling mechanism.
