Because tattoos are becoming more common and acceptable (1/3 of companies say they are perfectly fine with visible tattoos), more and more people are getting ink done these days.
Zippia recently released an interesting study highlighting the tattoos each state gets more than ANY other in the country, and some of what these states are getting is rather...interesting.
For example, folks in Arizona are getting tattoos of Shia LaBeouf more than any other state, even though the actor is NOT from the Grand Canyon State, and seemingly has no affiliation towards it.
Wyoming and Maine are leading the nation in getting "coronavirus" tattoos, and Kentucky is getting tattoos of Disney characters more than any other.
Which leads us to Texas, whose residents are getting Juggalo tattoos more than ANY other state. Juggalos, of course, are the mascot of the hip hop clown group Insane Clown Posse, and re otherwise known as the "Hatchetman."
New Mexico also seems to be the most hesitant state when it comes to tattoos, as they lead the nation in googling "fake tattoos."
