Tattoo Stats

Everyone knows that more people are getting tattoos than they used to, but how many more? Moreover, who are the people getting them? Who’s still happy with their tats, who’s not?

Vanishing Tattoo compiled information from a tattoo survey conducted by Harris Interactive of 2,215 adults in the US. The tattoo survey was given between July 14th and July 20th, 2003. They found some interesting info…

Did you know that 16% of all Americans adults have tattoos? If you just look at American adults between the ages of 30 and 39, the figure jumps to 28%. If you look at people 25- 29, more than a third of that population has one or more tattoos (36%). People in the gay, lesbian and bisexual population (regardless of age) were also close to the one in three mark at 31%.

If you live on the West Coast, you are more likely to have a tattoo and the same if you are a Democrat. Republicans are 4 percentage points behind Democrats when it comes to getting tattoos, but are statistically more likely to regret them. Republicans have the highest percentage of tattoo regret at 24%, mostly related to having a tattoo of a person’s name.

Careful of that!

The Harris Study found that most people did not regret getting that tat. 83% of tattooed Americans are satisfied with their ink, thank you very much. After the name problem, the second most common reason people end up regretting their tattoos is that they do not like the way it turned out.

Choose you artists and designs with care!

Lastly, tattoos appear to make a lot of people feel sexier, a full 34% of tattooed people report feeling sexier after getting their tat. Now there’s some useful information!
