from the interwebs, it might be true... if the data is representative enough, and accurate

Which Country's Residents Have The Most Tattoos?
Italy is rated the top country with 48% of the population having at least one tattoo. Sweden and the United States follow closely with 47% and 46% of residents wearing a tattoo respectively. Research has further indicated that Americans and Swedes prefer multiple tattoos compared to Italians. Of the top three countries, most tattooed Americans have more than four tattoos on their bodies. Australia and Argentina have 43% of residents having at least one tattoo.

At sixth position is Spain with 42% of residents with at least one tattoo punctured on their bodies and 41% and 40% of the people living in Denmark and the UK have at least one tattoo respectively. Brazil and France have also embraced tattooing with a substantial portion of the population having tattoos on their bodies. 37% of Brazilians and 36% of the French people has at one tattoo on their body making them rank position 9 and 10 respectively.

Demographic Distribution Of Tattoos
Middle-aged people are more likely to have tattoos according to the current survey. Women have embraced tattoos more than men with 40% of women and only 36% of men having tattoos. Holding age and gender constant, more educated people have tattoos compared to the less educated at 32% and 26% respectively. 32% of people living in urban centers have tattoos compared to 26% of the residents in the rural areas.

Tattoo Regrets
Some people may regret having a tattoo thereby opting to either alter or remove it completely. While altering is an easy process, the removal of a tattoo can be done by an expensive and painful procedure of surgery or laser surgery whereby the results are not guaranteed. 72% of people do not regret having a tattoo. The least regretful tattoo holders are Italians and Greeks at 15% and 17% respectively. The most regretful people are Danes at 38% and the Israelis at 37%.

Not sure. You still have Thai women who often have tats as a cultural thing, and you have 'mehndi' in India but it's usually temporary body art.

I'm not sure, but I saw a woman in my local grocery store lady week who had small random tattoos all over her face.

[ManOnFire]

Hope she'll still be proud of them when she's 80.

Right! I wonder if she has kids?

No. Italy, Sweden and Polynesia have more just with a quick Google. And even in America, more men have tattoos than women.
