From AI Overview on Google, "Who gets tattoos"
Demographics
In the United States, 32% of adults have a tattoo, including:
Gender: 38% of women have a tattoo, compared to 27% of men
Race and ethnicity: 39% of Black Americans have a tattoo, compared to 35% of Hispanic, 32% of White, and 14% of Asian Americans
Age: 41% of those under 30 have a tattoo, as do 46% of those ages 30 to 49
Seems there's not much to distinguish between over a third of American citizens and the average Thai bar girl when it comes to tattoos. Your academics need to get inked!
