Tora rules against tattoos was a measure for Jews to distinguish themselves from the surrounding people such as Egyptians, Phoenicians or Babylonians. Peoples who tattooed magical symbols as an amulet.
Many other ancient peoples got tattoos for their magical meaning and to highlight their social status. Something that can be traced along history back to prehistory and found in people as distant as Berber women, the Scythian princess Ukok, the Lady of Cao or Otzi (the ice man.

People trying to find meaning in their purpose when their lifestyles are empty. Its essentially society approved self harming behavior. There are definitely exceptions of course

i have a grim reaper from my wrist to elbow, i got it when i was 20, my first ever tattoo, everyday i look at it, im proud of it, it maybe dark and edgy, but it makes me feel powerfull, not weak and afraid like i was growing up. i have a couple more, and i plan on covering my body in funky pieces of art.
