I doubt if they’ve completely eliminated social factors. Apparently people with tattoos “have higher levels of need for uniqueness, sensation seeking, and thrill and adventure seeking, but they have lower levels of self-esteem, attend religious services less, and are generally much less educated than individuals who did not have tattoos.”

- throwaway2037 2y agoThe last one bothers me the most: > generally much less educated than individuals who did not have tattoos To me, this seems obviously about social/economic class. If you work a good paying job, then you are much less likely to have tattoos, primarily because your co-workers do not have them. Before every HN commenters jumps on me, think about all the office worker normies out there, working normie office jobs, the pressure to conform is much higher than bro-grammers who are allowed to go work in jeans and hoodie. From my experience, the (middle/senior) manager types (including lawyers) are the least likely to have tattoos.
