Why are the majority of people so obsessed with tattoos nowadays? Its seen that everyone have or wants to have a tattoo nowadays, especially women. Find a woman with no tattoos nowadays, is the same as find a 4 leaf clover. When this tattoo "craze" ends, those who invested in laser removal will profit big.
There are multiple problems with overuse of tattoo nowadays:
People want to be special - when on social network, you don't interact with dozens, but billions of people who are your competition in popularity. So people seek how to become unique.
Self-worth - short time self-worth can come from tattoo, raise of self-esteem given by it is not really helping
Addiction - getting a tattoo is addictive experience. I can tell, I have one, the piercing of your skin is intense on your nerve system, first it hurts, then you start enjoying it.
There is also the issue of deep rotted tribalism. Perhaps we have something in ourselves from ancient times, because people are doing tattoo for thousands of years. Tattoos were uncovered on Egyptian mummies. And since native tribes also do tattoo, it might be with humanity perhaps since somewhere from stone age... maybe rather iron age, but even the most primitive tribes are able to make some sort of needle to pierce skin and ink that won't poison you.
In native tribes tattoo are serving as social symbols of status. Easy to imagine that it was so as long as people do tattoo. Perhaps nowadays people subconsciously follow the same pattern.
However I agree that it is overused, poorly used and usually not deserved, only sought after. However for tattoo craze to end the society needs to change. And you won't live long enough so I suppose you will have to find a woman with tattoo you can accept.

Perhaps it is just another symptom of current state of our society...
