Good way of looking at it but I disagree on the account of a majority of people. Tattoos seem to be mostly for others by yourself. Why else would you get a tattoo if the message is only for yourself? Tattoos IMO are a way of letting people into a detail about yourself or for other people to attract some sort of attention. Kinda like when people get those Tapout or badboy tats.. It's a way of saying "Hey... notice me? I'm a fighter!". Or school tats for OTHERS to recognize they are part of a club or a team. Even for original foreign cultures that utilized tattoos it was apart of SHOWING something to others. Not saying tattoos aren't personal but I believe the main purpose is to attract attention of some sort. And of course there's absolutely nothing wrong with that incentive.
