More women than men have tattoos. 38% of women v. 27% of men, to be exact, according to Pew Research Center.

• Gender: 38% of women have at least one tattoo, compared with 27% of men. This includes 56% of women ages 18 to 29 and 53% of women ages 30 to 49.
• Race and ethnicity: 39% of Black Americans have a tattoo, compared with 35% of Hispanic, 32% of White and 14% of Asian Americans.
• Age: Adults under 50 are especially likely to have a tattoo. Some 41% of those under 30 have at least one, as do 46% of those ages 30 to 49. This compares with a quarter of adults ages 50 to 64 and 13% of those 65 and older.
• Education: 37% of those with some college or less education have a tattoo, compared with 24% of those with a bachelor’s degree and 21% of those with a postgraduate degree.
• Income: 43% of lower-income adults have a tattoo, compared with 31% of those in middle-income households and 21% of those in upper-income households.
• Religion: 41% of religiously unaffiliated adults have at least one tattoo, compared with 29% of those who are affiliated with a religion.
• Sexual orientation: Around half of lesbian, gay or bisexual Americans (51%) have at least one tattoo. The share is especially high among women in this group: 68% are tattooed, including 55% who have more than one tattoo. By comparison, 31% of straight Americans have at least one tattoo.

There are no major differences by political party or whether Americans live in an urban, suburban or rural community.

it's more than a tattoo, it's a personality.

It’s the mark of being an age where your sense of self is predicated on how others see you. Some folks never get past that.

It's an IQ score.

60% of women under 40 need psych meds. Probably another 20% need them, but don't take them.

I would agree.

I have never understood tattooing or the desire to wear gaudy jewelry or loud coloured clothing.
