It's not a fad. They're just becoming more accepted in society. Lots of people doing lots of jobs making lots of money have lots of tattoos. It's just not a big deal anymore. However...face, neck and hand tattoos are still called "job stoppers" for a reason.
Entirely true. I know people making well into the 6 figures with full sleeves tattooed. As long as they can cover them up when meeting with corporate they are good to go..
