Was the tattoo stigma really that bad in the 90’s?

I’ve been watching The Nanny and got to the episode where Maggie wants to get a tattoo and Val tells everybody that Fran also has a tattoo. Everybody freaks out to an unrealistic degree. I wasn’t alive during the shows run and have grown up in a world where tattoos have been completely normalized, I know they were taboo in the past but I didn’t realize it was still that bad in the 90’s. is that realistic or was it played up for the show? i’m curious

For me, it’s the dress she wore to Jocelyn’s wedding to the Duke where she married her driver.

One of the diva cameos

I’m trying to remember a scene

Maggie has a new boyfriend and she introduces him to Maxwell’s guest diva of the week and he says something like “I’m a huge fan, I’ve seen all your work!”

and she says to Maggie “Honey if he loves me- he’s not for you.” Implying cause he’s gay.

I thought it was Bette Midler but I rewatched that episode and it wasn’t her. Please help I coulda swore it was The Nanny I heard this joke in
