Re: Tattooed - still OK to use in a generic menacing sense?
Using tattooed as a descriptor doesn't necessarily in and of itself connote menacing, but it quickly helps paint a picture depending on who, what, and where you pair it.
A tattooed teenaged goth girl vs. a tattooed hard-ass biker chick.
A tattooed wannabe rock musician vs. a tattooed ex-con gangbanger.
A tramp stamp that reads "Property of Justin Bieber" vs. full sleeves of white supremacist symbols and code.
A tiny butterfly tattooed on her hand vs. a guy with his entire face and body tattooed with reptilian scales, ridges inserted under the skin on his forehead, a surgically forked tongue, and the whites of his eyes tattooed black.
