Seems to be a Christian liberty issue to me. As for calling attention to oneself, I find this hard to believe if it's hidden. If it's not hidden, what if it's a Bible verse, or some other "worthy" tattoo? If not, the person may just like the way it looks. I would not automatically assume someone is trying to attract attention with a tattoo - there are too many other reasons to have one.
I personally have none, but I don't think it's by any means sinful.

How are they not drawing attention to oneself?
Let's say they get it in a 'hidden place' what was the purpose of getting it at all? To satisfy one's flesh of knowing they HAVE a tatoo?
All the people I know who have tatoo's got them in order to show them to off, or put another way...to draw attention to themselves.
Let's say they get a tattoo of a Bible verse, if it's in a hidden place who is going to see it? So what would be the purpose?
Would that verse be more of a reminder for them of one passage of Scripture, as they would be the only one to see it? (depending where it is, they may not even be able to see it themselves--without looking in the mirror)
And in that it would be in a hidden place, where would that hidden place be?
if it's a women looking to get a tatoo, what hidden place would she get a tatoo, that she would have to expose that area of her body to the tatoo artist?
Same with a man, if it's a hidden place, wouldn't he too still have to expose that part of his body to the tatoo artist?
What would be some other reasons for getting a tatoo?
