Tattoo Impact Studied: Divided Opinions
April 5th, 2011
According to the Pew Research Center, results are almost equally divided about the impact of more people getting tattoos. 40% agree that it has been a change for the worse, 45% say that it has not made much of a difference either way and a scant 7% believe that it has been a change for the better. However, it appears that age played a role in the respondent opinions, among other factors. Older Americans that took part in the survey were more likely to think that the popular inking trend was regarded negatively. It is estimated that nearly 1 in 4 Americans between ages 18-49 have a tattoo. Searches for TATTOO rank consistently in the weekly top 50 popular search terms on the Internet.
