Can i use "them" referring to inanimate things?

Hello, everyone!

I've tried to look for smth on this question on the net, but have found nothing =(

Look at the example:

- Do you like tattoos?
- No, I don't like them.

Is that correct? Should I use "it" instead of "them"? What pronoun should be placed there?

I would be grateful if somebody suggested me a link to more information about what stuff each pronoun implies.
Thanks a lot in advance =)
