Tattoos are popular among many groups of people. College students from a large university in the southwestern United States were queried using the 134-item Armstrong Team Tattoo Attitude Survey. Findings documents a progressive increase in tattooing and reflect significant support for tattoos, even from non-tattooed students. Similar and positive demographic characteristics were present in individuals who were both non-tattooed and tattooed. In addition, tattooed people were viewed positively, even among non-tattooed respondents. Friends significantly affected procurement and possession of tattoos, whereas of all family members, the sister was the only significant influence. Overall, friends, identity, and image seem to be the major influences for obtaining tattoos.
纹身深受许多人群的喜爱。美国西南部一所大型大学的大学生接受了一项包含134个项目的阿姆斯特朗团队纹身态度调查。调查结果表明纹身现象呈逐渐上升趋势，甚至非纹身学生也对纹身给予了大力支持。纹身和未纹身的个体具有相似且积极的人口统计学特征。此外，即使在未纹身的受访者中，纹身者也受到了正面评价。朋友对纹身的获取和拥有有着重大影响，而在所有家庭成员中，姐妹是唯一具有显著影响的。总体而言，朋友、身份认同和形象似乎是纹身的主要影响因素。
