Normally I would agree with you, but I didn't get the impression he was here for the right reasons. To be honest I think he wanted the ladies to swoon, and the guys to compliment his "sick ink." When he didn't get that reaction, he was upset.
I think he was a quantity over quality guy who wanted to get tattooed because it's cool, and the chicks will dig him. I might be wrong, but I doubt it.
