In this study, we investigated the public’s perception of tattoos and the possibility of its cultural integration by researching the overall level of interest in tattoos in different age groups as well as the relationship between aesthetic utility of tattoos and people’s motives behind receiving tattoos.
As a result of studying the age difference in relation to popularization of tattoos, we were able to identify a trend that may allow tattooing to develop into a positive culture. As tattoos have become more common in general, it is believed that teenagers and those over 50 in age have grown a more positive perception towards tattoos despite the institutional limits in our society. It is necessary for positive effects and perceptions of tattoos to be better known by the public in order for tattoos to be properly popularized and to be established as a legitimate culture. For further study, targets from a greater variety of regions will be needed to conduct a more comprehensive and empirical research.
