I definitely think that who is being loud about their tats is a factor - as you say, the ones who are loudest about them are very likely to be the ones who regret is ten years down the road.
Whereas, you rarely hear about the subetly fandom-y tats that aren't shouted about.
And I actually agree about needing that extra level of meaning to a tatoo, not just 'oh, so pretty!'
