Tattoos Designs in Mainstream Culture

Not too long ago tattooing did not experience the popularity in mainstream culture that it does now. The question that must be asked in order to understand this fascination that popular culture has had with tattoos is why people get tattoos.

There has been an upsurge of people getting tattoos in the past number of years. People of all ages are getting them and from all different backgrounds. It is estimated that 10% of people in the United States have at least one tattoo. On a good day in just about any public place one can spot a tattoo about every five minutes, from the business man who had a portrait of his daughter put on him to a young girl with a butterfly on her ankle and even people with extensive tattoo coverage.
