Houghton, Stephen; And Others
Adolescence, v30 n120 p971-88 Win 1995
Twelve focus group discussions on attitudes toward tattoos, health beliefs, and awareness of the long-term consequences of tattooing and stigmatization were conducted with 80 volunteers, 6 to 17 years of age. Attitudes toward tattoos were generally negative, although a more favorable attitude toward small tattoos was discernible among early adolescent females. (JPS)
