I have many Jewish friends who have tattoos. I have several myself.
We are not prohibited from being buried in the Jewish cemetary.
The Torah states that it is prohibited and I think being a Jew with tattoos depends on your beliefs, i.e., are you Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist?
My Turkish Jew grandmother totally did not approve of my cousin and his tattoos (she may have spoken sternly at him in some Ladino expletives )
He is older than I and she never knew I had any...she has died...however she did not disown him or love him any less
