Almost one in five New Zealanders has a tattoo, according to a new poll. And very few of those tattooed have any regrets about getting it done.
A Herald-DigiPoll survey of 750 people has found 18.2 per cent of respondents have a tattoo. Slightly more females than males have tattoos.
Of those with tattoos, only 9.6 per cent said they regretted getting it done. Males were more likely to have regrets, at 12.3 per cent, than females at 7 per cent.

John Birdsall, despite his obvious differences, is not an average traveller.
He is disabled, gets around in a motorised wheelchair and communicates through a typing device, but his lust for life and desire to meet and communicate with new and exciting people far outweighs any limitations his cerebral palsy imposes.
Yesterday, during his seventh New Zealand trip, the 32-year-old Englishman got a tattoo of a silver fern incorporating a koru on his back, to commemorate his love affair with Aotearoa.
