Perhaps in another's eyes they can be but to the owners they metaphorical speak about the individual's paradigm.
A true aspect of what we consider Magick is the ability to manifest into the physical our Will and Intent. Tattoos achieve this in a purely symbolic, sigilistic, archetypal manner and are, as most Shamanistic practices, a Right of Passage which in and of itself creates Change in the Individual Psyche and eventually in the Material (Objective) World.

Aaah, neo-shamanism! How asinine.
I don't think your theory applies in most cases. A gaggle of sorority bimbos getting matching butterfly tattoos on their asses during a drunken Spring Break escape in Cabo is hardly a spiritual matter...
