I live in the Chicago area. Many of the young adults who come from wealthy families are getting tattoos, almost as a competition.

They brag to eachother about what state they got them in, who they got them from, and how long it took to finish the tattoo.

Even the best tattoo looks like complete shit. I don't get it.

just as there are plebeians within the category of fashion, there are heaps of plebs getting awful tattoos left and right with a minority of people doing it right, you just have to look a lot harder than a google image search for "cool tattoos".

I think that these tattoos in this photo are very fashionable, they're great for adding a uniqueness to yourself that nobody else has, which can be tough especially with clothing alone (unless you make your own clothes strictly for yourself i.e. subsistence designing ..??). Of course the ship under the moonlight on your calf is going to look like shit and only you and some fellow plebs will think it's cool, but tattoos are a creative form of art that can be effectively used to improve your character.

A tattoo is supposed to be personal. If you're getting one just for the sake of impressing others or being fashionable then you're doing it wrong. Whatever you get a tattoo of, it's supposed to mean something to you first and others second.

I agree. What you think looks cool now you will likely still think looks cool when you're old. However, what has meaning for you now may not by then. I got a tattoo of pic related on my right ringfinger on a whim whilst road tripping with my best friend a couple years back and it has no significance whatsoever. I just thought it was cool. It's a nice memento though.
