Anecdotally in support of the article a friend of mine was a model and obtained what I can only describe as hideous tattoos all over her body that forced her out of modeling. She was indeed in a highly abusive relationship even by law enforcement standards. I'm happy that she escaped that mess but now has a tattoo head to toe to remind her of it. There are some places that this theory probably breaks down in some way? For example everyone on "The Max" in Portland Oregon knew I was not from there for a lack of tats. There are some parts of Mississippi that people without tats will also stand out. Most of the places I can think of where I saw more tats than not were places of poverty, highly artistic people, very socially liberal. Most of these places also had lot of biker bars, night clubs, good music and good food.
