I'd say there's more of a stigma because
1) you usually don't have to take out a loan to get a tattoo.
2) tattoos don't involve a hospital stay
3) getting plastic surgery and boob jobs imply that one is unhappy with their body structure--they tend to say "I don't like the way my nose/boobs/butt look and I need surgery to fix the problem". Tattoos just say "Hey, my boobs would look even better with a picture of Aerosmith on them."
