This proportion rises to 36% if one takes into consideration only the age group between 18 and 29 years. These figures (covering the year 2005) were obtained based on a telephone survey of 253 men and 247 women. They are a significant increase compared to 2003 (16%) and are still rising when it was learned that some of those interviewed expressed their intention of getting a tattoo or piercing. Despite all the security concerns of such practices, some experts are quick to say that insofar as one quarter of the population is tattooed, the tattoo is revealed relatively safe after all ...
