According to this, 36% of people ages 18-25 have tattoos. Forty percent of people ages 26-40 have at least one tattoo. Forty-five million people overall have at least one tattoo.
Whatever Whitley thinks tattoos represent, they clearly don't.
I graduated from college in 1995, and only one guy I knew had a tattoo, and it was a Superman tattoo on his upper arm. My brother-in-law is 26 and he has tattoos up and down his body, including on his hands. It works okay for him because he's into T-shirt design, but for a lot of people tattoos are not hip, they're low-rent and reflect irresponsibility. It's a generation thing, though, and kind of remarkable how quickly the attitude towards them has largely shifted.
