I don't see the correlation between tats and someone's behavior tbh. If they behave badly, it doesn't matter if they had any tat or not--they're just bad. And being inked doesn't immediately make you a bad person/a person with bad behavior. If people assume you are just because you're tatted, then who the fuck cares. To each their own.

There is a connection in traditional Sak Yant. The person getting the tattoo from the monk fasts and goes through ceremonies and pledges to behave well according to the Buddhist precepts. Sometimes they have to make other strange pledges, to do with diet or behavior. One I heard of was that they had to pledge not to shit and piss at the same time or the magical protection would be lost. They were very popular with soldiers though, so I'd imagine the pledges were often forgotten soon after leaving the pagoda.

Well then it's a different story. If they got it the traditional way and still behaving like shit, then they've got issues, along with breaking their pledges. If they only got it cuz they liked the design or for whatever reason, without going through any kind of ritual, then it's zero connection. They're just baaad.

I'm not justifying their behavior. It's just sad that a lot of people still think that tattoo = bad. But again, whatever floats your boat. Can't control anyone's opinion anyway.

Chance of the Tattooed Khmer woman giving oral sex (and other kinds of sex) to tons of men ever before meeting you increases by a factor of 10. The chances of giving to tons of men after you increases by a factor of 10.

Some might consider that a big turn on and actively seek this out. To each his own.

i guess it, in behaviour terms, in a lot of cultures, getting tattoos is a sign of rebellious behaviour, a middle finger to old social norms, obviously now in modern society someone not having a tattoo and having virgin skin is actually more of a shock than someone not having a tattoo
tattoos also obviously have a lot of connection to gangs and gang culture, and people want to replicate these tattoos to make them look "bad" or "hard", whether they are actually bad or not isnt always the case, but its the image they intend to give off,
having a my little pony tattoo on your ankle isnt going to rub people up the wrong way, but like in this case, having a gun tattooed on your waist is going to attract the wrong attention, especially in a culture where tattoos are frowned upon, a lot of my khmer friends would love to get tattoos, but due to their parents views would never dare, if they did, it would again, be a sign of rebelious behaviour

Tattoos have become so normal that having no tattoos is now more rebellious than having them. Better get down the laser clinic.
