I also don't see why people without tattoos have to vocalize their disdain for something someone else does with their body.

Most people get tattoos because they're now trendy. There are even trends for tattoo popularity. Guys used to get the tribal bands and barbed wire around their biceps. Now sleeves and prayers/writings seem to be the thing. Some famous girl gets a tat on her lower back, and it then becomes the thing to do for every high school and college girl out to show everyone how wild/how much of a rebel they are.

The reason people vocalize their disdain is that they think tattoos look stupid and/or trashy and represent poor life decisions. It's the same reason people criticize guys sporting fake orange tans, guido-spiked hair, "look at me" clothing, bling, etc. People just like to criticize others. Sherdog Forums are now a place to ridicule fighters and other posters.

I don't bother explaining the meaning to anyone because I simply don't care what anyone thinks about them. If someone wants to judge me on them then they aren't worth my time anyways. People can hate all they want, it doesn't bother me because they are the sad individuals who are reaching at anything to find a reason why they are better than someone to make them feel better about themselves.
I don't need that because I'm happy with who I am.
Great way to put it. My artist's work has been in magazines and on TV(my arms plus much more). He was the one who taught Kat Von D her portrait work. When LA Ink started she was tatting in my artists area while her shop was being built. I have hung out with her a few times and even been on the show. I get complemented daily on the work I have on me but I never put it out there. If people ask Ill tell them a short version of each tat I have.

People who judge others for having tattoos are just insecure about themselves. I dont like shit off the wall and would never get anything pre drawn but I wont judge anyone who does.

It goes without saying. Making fun of anyone in a mean spirited way shows signs of insecurity. On the same side of that coin, you have people putting ink on their bodies because try think it's the cool thing to do, which is also a sign of imaecurity. Not everyone gets them for individualist reasons like you've described. You have kids following the trends by getting tribal bands or symbols from a culture that they have no personal connection to whatsoever. And then there's the tramp stamp phenomenon. It's not a sense of security or individualism that drives those people to get tattoos.

Reading comprehension is not your thing.

You're defending something I didn't even attack. I never said anything was wrong with tattoos or the reasoning behind getting tattoos. My point is that people are going to judge you for everything.

You even got so defensive you asked if I hated black people. What the fuck is wrong with you?
