Gender Differences Between Women And Tattoos

Findings
The survey was passed out to a total of 68 people, of which, 37 were female and 30 were male. Originally, we wanted to pass out at least 100 surveys to ensure a representative sample, however, many of the barriers, as previously mentioned, took place. Nevertheless, we found some interesting results. For females, we gathered that 21.6% had tattoos while 78.4% of our sample did not. For those who had tattoos, 13.5% reported only having one and 8.1% had 2 to 3 on them.

We assumed this result was due to the conservative nature of this Christian school. Other than that, we still found many of the participants to be conservative in the context of tattoo possession. Even though our survey was slightly skewed for the lack of male participation, we believe our results to be somewhat representative of the areas surrounding
