They're attractive, BUT the tats block your sweat glands. And when this much skin is covered, that can affect body temperature.

Also, I've heard that the tattoo ink (certain colors) can end up in the lymphatic system.

I never really wanted one. But go into a yoga class, and there is hardly anybody without one. Younger women are big on tattoos.
