Controversial, but it is what I mostly meet: people with tattoos have low self esteem.

It is definitely controversial to talk about, but studies correlate them with increased mental health issues, risk taking behavior, previous jail time, substance abuse, and more.

Of course it's not that the tattoos cause these things, but people who fall under one or more of the categories above are significantly more likely to have them.
