Honestly, I think tattoos and piercings are awesome. I find most folks who complain about tattoos are the type of people who take no risks in life, and so they have to tear down people who do like to live life a bit differently.
I would say it's a case of making ones self practically unemployable in many fields, including most management level jobs: I consider that a foolish risk I would not want to be a part of. That's not even mentioning that where I live young tattoo free women are almost in the minority
In that case employed women must be in the minority where you live.
It's the same in Australia. Young women and middle aged women most often have tattoos. Among young men they're not as popular. I see half as many men with tattoos compared to women.
The thing that amazes me is that many of these young men and women have good jobs. I see many tattoos prominently displayed at work every day. The office I work in is full of them. Apparently their tattoos didn't make them unemployable. At least not in Australia, it would seem.
I don't think they're even trying to rebel. Tattoos are too mainstream to be rebellious nowadays. I'm still not into them. There are few things I'm more fond of then smooth, unmarred skin.
