It makes sense if she means to diss people with tattoos.
She says “can turn” in comparison to “doesn’t”. That comparison is not balanced.
I thought this was a quote.
As an observation, it is literally right. There is ‘Christian’ as a path of spiriitual growth and ‘Christian’ as a gang. That golden cross is a gang symbol and works as such. Spiritually it would be wooden. Golden, it shows membership of the Christian gang.
Tattoos work in the same way. Japanese know and treat them accordingly. At the very least tattoos of normal people make gang membership less despicable. If everybody marks themselves as non-normal, society changes.
This is not an argument against tattoos. They are just more than a fashion symbol, while those can already be spiritually influential, as many women on diets can attest.
I think there’s a distinction between what some ignorant people think of as “tattoos that signify gang membership” (i.e. literally any tattoo) and literal gang tattoos.
