There has been an upsurge of people getting tattoos in the past number of years. People of all ages are getting them and from all different backgrounds. It is estimated that 10% of people in the United States have at least one tattoo. On a good day in just about any public place one can spot a tattoo about every five minutes, from the business man who had a portrait of his daughter put on him to a young girl with a butterfly on her ankle and even people with extensive tattoo coverage.
