Tattoos and discrimination

David Beckham aside, there still seems to be a certain amount of judgment that people harbour when they see someone with a considerable amount of tattoos. I personally don't see the difference between someone that hasn't modified their body in any way, compared with someone that has had piercings, plastic surgery or tattoos. It comes down to the individual as an individual.
Take Angelina Jolie for example, although she has many fans, she still seems to attract negative media attention, at one time even from her own father, because of the choices she has made in the past. I don't think the whole Jennifer Aniston thing helped (even though it was Brad Pitt that left her) but no, it must be Angelina's fault.
I wonder why it is that people suddenly started lashing out at a woman that dedicates herself to charitable causes, donates loads of money to these causes and has prevented children from living in poverty through adopting them?? This might be a shaky assumption but Jennifer Aniston: no tattoos to speak of, Jolie: covered in them. Ok, plus the fact she has an interest in knives and used wear a vial of blood around her neck, but shes not hurting anyone, infact, shes doing the opposite.
