If it is an act of rebellion, then you are making a statement not only about yourself, but about what you think of other people.
If you do it because every other dumbass has one and you want one too, it says you belong with the cattle.
If you get one because you like it, whatever. Do what you like. The point is, it no longer says the same thing as it used to.*

*And don't waste your time looking up the origin of tattoos so you can tell me that it originally wasn't meant to set people apart, but to unite them, etc., because...well...you'll be wasting your time.

My sister (the good one who followed through on the pact, not the bad one who renegs and also refuses to pee on her paramours (though that technically wasn't reneging)) has an unusual tattoo on her right arm. There's sort of a story behind it but for the most part, "when people ask her why do you have X tattooed to your arm?" Her answer is "because I like X."
It's a weird tattoo, but it really makes her happy. She says that she stops during the day to look at her, and it will invariably cheer her up. She could give a rat's ass what people think about it, and I think that part of the reason that she has it is so she never, ever has to work in a place where having an X tattoo on her arm is frowned upon.
