Tattoo predators are similar to drug dealers in that they receive money and make their living by hurting others, (although the people they hurt think they are being helped by their abuser, and so the parallel to Stockholm Syndrome.)Tattoos are not status symbols. The people who get tattoos are damaged goods. Tattoos are associated with mental illness and dysfunction. Peer-reviewed scientific studies conclude that tattooed and pierced people share characteristics with the following extremely undesirable groups of suffering and damaged people:
