Who’s Tattooed by Age:
18 – 29: 36%
30 – 39: 24%
40 – 50: 15%
- Almost 1 in 4 adults ages 18 to 50 has at least one tattoo.

Claim 1: A greater amount of younger adults get tattoos than older people.
Support for Claim 1: The statistical graph shows the greater percentage of those with at least one tattoo lie in the age group of 18 to 29 year old adults. This age group is the younger ages compared to the other age blocks; that is 30 to 39 and 40 to 50.
Claim 2: Older adults don’t like tattoos.
Support for Claim 2: The lower amount of older people (ages 40 to 50) with tattoos is lowest in comparison to the younger and middle age groups. This can be interpreted as an effect of the dislike of tattoos in the age group.
Claim 3: Most adults do not have a tattoo.
Support for Claim 3: As stated in the overall statistic the graph reveals: Almost 1 in 4 adults ages 18 to 50 has at least one tattoo. This means that out of four adults from ages 18 to 50, three do not have a tattoo. From this, one may say the majority of adults do not have a tattoo.

If I had enough money I would go invest in a machine for tatoo removal and make a mint when all these "kids" grow up and regret getting one.
