Considering that Judaism prohibits tattoos, getting a tattoo of a symbol associated with Judaism is kind of adding insult to injury. Although many Jews choose to get tattoos, having a Jewish symbol as the tattoo doesn't make it any less prohibited.

There are two accepted exceptions to this, Jewish victims of the Holocaust who were tattooed by the Nazis and Jewish military veterans who got/get military tattoos.

No one is keeping them from having one if they want. But some orthodox Jews believe the scriptures teach against it so it would not be acceptable.

No. It is a Torah-level violation. Leviticus 19:28 prohibits any markings or tattoos.

They're not supposed to, since Judaism doesn't allow tattooing (Leviticus ch.19), but I suppose they see it as another way of expressing their identity.

Do Jewish people wear tattoos?

The prohibition against tattoos is in Leviticus 19:28 which states: "You shall not make cuts in your flesh for a person [who died]. You shall not etch a tattoo on yourselves. I am the Lord." At that time, tattoos were often a part of the worship practices of idolaters and therefore was a practice not allowed for Jews.

Anything at all. Before the death camps got started Jews were forced into small vastly overcrowded ghettos from which they were not allowed to exit for any reason. They were forbidden from holding jobs or engaging in professions or any kind of trade except the selling of old rags.
