Factors that influence attitudes toward womens with tattoos

The ancient art of tattooing has recently enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in North America. Prevalence rates for tattoos are difficult to assess but have been estimated at 10%-20% of men and 7% of women with tattoos in the United States (Copes & Forsyth, 1998). Estimates are not yet available in Canada, however, there is no reason to suspect that Canadian rates would be markedly different. (3)
