Yeah I know this first link is kind of an evangelical Christiany thing I would certainly ignore all the God preaching. But it is useful to read the part on the history of these things.
Again there are things here that are quite distorted seeming at least? but there are important points too

The tattoo is more than just a layer of ink cut into the skin. It was a vehicle for pagan spiritual and religious invocations – a bridge into the supernatural world. Infamous witch Laurie Cabot (of Salem, Massachusetts) writes: “The origins of tattooing came from ancient magical practices.”
The native tribes in North America believed in tattoing the temples, foreheads and cheeks of those suffering from headaches and toothaches. They believed that aches and illnesses were caused by malevolent spirits. Songs and dances meant to exorcise the demons accompanied the tattooing ceremony.
Tattooing was intended to make the body a ‘fit home’ for the spirit who dwelt in it. Tribal tattoos are designs that bear symbolical mystical and occult meanings. In short, they are channels of spiritual and demonic possession.

From a spiritual perspective, tattoos have a harmful effect on us. The following are the reasons for the harmful spiritual effect of tattoos:
Most people tattoo their body out of fashion and this causes enticing energy (Mohini-shakti) to be attracted to it. As a result, emotionalism and attachment to the external world or the Great Illusion (Maya) increases.
The majority of tattoo designs are not sāttvik. That is why they activate distressing energy.
Tattoos increase the proportion of distressing energy in the environment and make the individual physically and spiritually restless. Also, the covering of distressing energy around the individual’s body increases by 1.5%.
The possibility of negative energies (ghosts, demons, devils etc.) affecting the body, mind and intellect of the individual who has a tattoo on their body increases due to the tattoo.
Tattoos also increase heat in the body. An increase in heat can represent an increase in the proportion of Raja-Tama in the body (coolness represents an increase in the proportion of Sattva).
Showing the tattoo to others can increase ego.
