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.

Legacy of WA Ink
Original Source - Perth Now
IT'S a time of the year that you see a lot of flesh. Probably a lot more than you want to. On the beaches, on the streets, in the shopping centres – it’s out there, on show.
The hot weather inspires us usually modest West Aussies to let it all hang out, often literally, for a few months.
Nothing new about that, but what is emerging at an escalating rate is the passion we now seem to have for ink – tattoo ink, to be precise.

William McInnes: tattoos for the taut
Original Source - Courier Mail
AT THE beach a couple of things become clear. Firstly, lots of us have had good Christmases, me included. Secondly, a vast number not only wear a bit of Christmas pud but also tattoos.
When I was a young fellow, tatts were something that indicated a certain type of person. Rough trade, bikies, would-be toughs or bad actors on Homicide had them. People from the other side of the tracks.
Obviously I haven't kept up with social trends. Tatts are everywhere in fact they're all over the tracks.
