It's not that I'm not respecting someone's decision to get a tattoo, it's just that I think they are ill looking at that point. Both of my grandfathers were in the navy & both have tattoos on their arms. They are faded and nasty looking now, and I just don't like the way they look. There's no way I'd want something on my body that will look like that in 40 + years
Very true. If I saw some poorly done tattoo that was saggy and whatnot then I probably wouldnt find it very nice to look at, either. Ironically, I've never seen a saggy tattoo just really poor (in terms of quality) ones.

This reminds me of someone. I had a teacher in high school named Jan. She had a brother who was a business man. He drove a Harley. Their mother was verrrrry strict. When it came time that her brother passed, and they were present when the folks were undressing his body, he was completely covered in tattoos from neck to ankles. Her mother had a fit. I don't know how that was relevant, I just thought it was a humorous little anecdote!
