Does every Marine get the same tattoo because it's fashionable and not quite "done to death" or because it looks cool with their matching DD 214?

NO! THAT'S NOT WHY, IT'S BECAUSE IT MEANS SOMETHING.

I guess when some people think of the word "tattoo" they think "oh that's something that I can use my credit card on at the mall to have one of those black tribal things on me for when i take my shirt off at the beach."

No. I dont think my oppinion is broad or over generalized. Tattoos used to mean something. Now, anyone who feels the need to be "fasionable" gets a tat. People used to, and still do say that they get a tat to express their individuality. Unfortunatly, the individuality of tattoos is gone because tats have become common place.
