I grew up in the tattoo era (teenager in the 90s) and never got one. I just told myself to represent something, buy a tshirt. I've noticed people with tattoos love to show them off, either in person or on Youtube. Tattoos are like motorcycles, the people with them seem to think everyone cares. I do have a motorcycle so I can sense that mentality from the community. The only thing I would possibly tattoo is something about me that will never change, for me that's my religious views. That said, my religion has mixed reviews on if tattoos are even acceptable at all, our body being a temple. Overall, I still feel tattoos should be relegated to prisons and skid row as I'm old fashioned. I wouldn't recommend or encourage anyone to get one. People are leaning more conservative as a sign of the times. That's the root of the trend against tattoos. Even famous tattoo artists like Kat Von D has wanted to remove hers and felt she was better off blacking them out instead.
