I don't have a tattoo but I have a tattoo artist in my family.
For some people, it becomes like a mode of self-harm, addictive in a way. The pain causes endorphins to be released.
Also, realize that there are those tattoo artists who enjoy the whole "inflicting pain on others" part of it. Probably not most, (I think most tattoo artists probably geniunely enjoy the art aspect) but there ARE some bad apples out there.
