I don’t think so. First things that come to mind are this:
- some people get tattos just for sex appeal. While they could attach meaning to the event, that would be a second order effect and probably not that meaningful. The meaning attached would maybe be "i love sex."
- some people get names of partners tattooed. I think that’s a very simple and clesr “meaning” so isn’t worth mentioning
I imagine some people just think they’re neat - both those who get an awful lot of them and people who haven’t got a lot. You could express thst sith a bell curve meme. Pretend the “iq” axis is about tattoo coverage though.

Uh. Yeah they do. Normally tattoos of that nature are used to signal being part of that group. Same as with gang tats.
