The present study examined the prevalence and acceptance of body piercings and tattoos among a community sample from the southern German-speaking area of Central Europe. A total of 440 respondents completed information about their own body piercings and tattoos and reported whether they would be likely never to have piercings and tattoos in the future. Analyses indicated that 19.8 and 15.2% of respondents had piercings (excluding the earlobe) and tattoos, respectively. Women were more likely to have body piercings than men, but there were no sex differences in tattooing. There were also few sociodemographic differences in piercings and tattoos, and most participants reported being likely to consider body art in the future. These results are considered in relation to prevalence estimates of body art in other Western countries and the associated health risks.
本研究调查了中欧德语区南部社区样本中身体穿孔和纹身的流行程度和接受程度。共有 440 名受访者完成了关于自己身体穿孔和纹身的信息，并报告了他们未来是否可能永远不会有穿孔和纹身。分析表明，19.8%和 15.2%的受访者分别有穿孔（不包括耳垂）和纹身。女性比男性更有可能进行身体穿孔，但在纹身方面没有性别差异。在穿孔和纹身方面，社会人口统计学差异也很小，大多数参与者表示未来可能会考虑身体艺术。这些结果与其他西方国家的身体艺术流行率估计值和相关的健康风险有关。
