There has not been a poll done for at least a year or two to see if there has been a rise or fall in the amount of people getting tattoos. However, tattoo shop owner's are reporting that they are seeing an increase in business and that a lot of their business is coming from tattoo virgins. The latest poll that was done showed that a whopping 40% of people from the ages of 18 to 40 have at least a tattoo. That's almost half of the population. With the popularity of tattoos rising there are still quite a few people who fear tattoos and look down upon them. Unfortunately, this will always be a problem, after all people are allowed to have their own opinions. However, in this case people need to be educated about tattoos and know that rough and tumble bikers, criminal and up to no good people are not the ones getting tattoos these days. It is soccer moms and cooperate businessmen.
With that being said the popularity of tattoos continues to rise and tattoo shop owner's are happy to report that first time tattoo seekers are educating themselves more about tattoos. They also report that people are doing their research and are thinking harder and longer about jumping the gun and getting inked. This is good news for the tattoo community, the more people educated themselves about tattoos and the more mainstream they get maybe it will help tattoos not have such a bad wrap.
