Aesthetic goals of tattoos

I have been accused of being vain because I got a fairly large tattoo on my ribcage but I actually think that getting tattoos to hide, distract, people from their body is just as (if not more) likely. The logic behind it is that other people would judge the tattoo and not their body.

I know people get tattoos for many different reasons. Paying homage to a loved one who passed away, alligience to country/club, signal a change in their life. I’m referring to people who get tattoos done just for aesthetic reasons.

Any thoughts?
