Tattoos Not So Taboo, Survey Finds

Tattoos apparently are not quite as taboo as they once were among the British, but people still are shy about telling others they wear ink, a survey reveals.

A survey conducted by carpet-maker Brintons revealed that about 15 percent of people surveyed have a body art design they've never revealed.

Brintons said in a news release it conducted the survey to coincide with a new ad campaign that pairs the skills carpet-making with artists working in costume design, body art and fashion photography.

When questioned on temporary tattoos or body art, 53 percent of participants said they'd wear a temporary tattoo for a special occasion.

Twenty-five percent of women surveyed said they'd most like to have a design on their back, followed by their ankle, with 14 percent. For men, the arm was the favorite with 11 percent.

"Body art seems to hold a guilty pleasure for many people who enjoy having it but don't want to tell anyone about it," said Rita Bancroft, Brintons' marketing communications manager.
