Investigation tattoo: 1 French out of 10 is tattooed

Enquête sondage sur la pratique du tatouage en FranceInvestigation survey on the practice of tattooing in France

An investigation on the tattoo and its practice in France performed on the basis of a poll Ipsos for Sunday West France, on a sample of representative 1,000 people , reveals that 10% of the French population said wear at least a tattoo on the body. Far from being a marginal practice as in his debut in the West, this survey supports constant tattooing democratization, its permanent nature, could only reach a still wider fringe of the population, even if only 6% of the French consider to be tattooed. The tattoo becomes an element of society with its specific codes, as in primitive civilizations. Symbol of a society in decline?

The responses of those polled, it possible to outline a State of the scene of the most popular parts of the body for a tattoo:

The tattoo on the arm is leading with 37 %The upper back and shoulders represent 35% down the back ranks third with 13% followed by the torso and feet with 8% each, without it specified whether the ankle is part of the footlegs are 7%without distinction between thigh or calfneck is 5%, but the neck is it included?Without surprise its at the bottom of the standings with 1% hands, knowing that it is possible that the wrist is included in this décompteAutre body part: 14%: which does not say if the surveyed do not found themselves in some descriptions oriented or if them tattooed use more in addition to the original location (such as the belly)(buttocks, head?)

At the level of age, without surprise 22% of 18-24 years are tattooed, digit decreases as age advances, 13% of the 25 to 34 years and 2% of the pls for 35 years. Evidence if he needed that the democratization of tattooing is only little old generations for which the tattoo still feels the suffering, sex and blood. Well it seems that tattooing is even levelled at the level of social classes, affecting everyone at least partially: workers are most frequently tattooed with 19%, employees and intermediate occupations then arrive with 14%artisans or merchants 13 %
