In the area of gender, nearly equal percentages of males(16%) and females(15%) have tattoos. In fact, the tattoos are popular among all age groups, as documented by a 2011 Pew Research Center survey. The Pew research shows that in America, 36 percent of those ages 18 to 25, and 40 percent of those ages 26 to 40, have at least one tattoo.

Josh Schultz, a student from University of Maryland, who has had 22 hours of tattoo work done, says he feels empowered by his tattoos.“Getting my tattoo was almost like going through an important ceremony,”he said,“Ive gotten work done almost everywhere Ive traveled: Texas, New York, San Diego, Afghanistan and New Zealand.”Schultzs tattoos are inspired by the work of spiritual and visual specialist artist Alex Grey.“I really love art, and Alex Greys work represents a spiritual energy, an energy not seen by the naked eye,” Schultz explained. Exercise Science major Shelly Stemper from Yale said she got her tattoo as a way to bond with her elder brother.“Hes nine years older than me, and we are fond of each other.”she said.“We decided to get tattoos together and had bben looking for a tattoo that would be meaningful for both of us. Once, on a family trip to Denali National Park in Alaska, we saw wolves and I chose a wolf paw while my brother a wolf head as our tattoos because we love this animal and they remind us of our family. ” More college students in America began to accept and even welcome the art of tattooing.
