 |
|
Was wondering if as many of you as possible could possibly help me out a little. I a writing a 15 page paper on tattoo's for my culture class, and one of the sections I plan to include is an survey with actual results. Now this is not an everyday highschool paper, its for an upper level Lit. class so I need a decent amount of support and interest.
So if you could answer the questions below that would be great, it should take no more than 5 mins. Thankyou!
Tattoo Questionnaire
1. Male or Female?
2. Age?
3. Ethnicity?
4. Occupation?
5. Estimate of Percentage of body tattooed?
6. In one sentence, why did you get your tattoo(s)?
7. Are you happy with the outcomes? (Yes or No)
8. Do you have any regrets? One sentence if yes.
9. Have the tattoos hindered your employment opportunities? Examples
10. Do people perceive you differently since your tattoo? |

Hey! I always love helping someone out so...
1. Female
2. 26
3. Caucasian
4. Veterinary technician
5. I guess about 15% (I have a full backpiece)
6. I love the idea of enhancing the body with a beautiful piece of artwork.
7. Yes
8. No
9. No, of course mine are covered at work
10. It depends on the area of the country you're in. Where I live, in Daytona Beach, FL, I get mostly compliments. But, in even different cities in FL, i.e. south FL Ft.Meyers/Naples area, I got a lot of strange looks and was spared common courtesy and small talk.
Well, hope this helps! Good luck with the paper

Tattoo Questionnaire
1. Male or Female? Male
2. Age? 25
3. Ethnicity? Caucasian
4. Occupation? Mechanical Engineering Consultant/Engineering Manager
5. Estimate of Percentage of body tattooed? um, 15% .... full lower leg and a couple on my back, waiting on 2 full sleeves and afull back eventually
6. In one sentence, why did you get your tattoo(s)? Individuality, people may look like me, but no one will have my exact tattoos, my tattoos complete me!
7. Are you happy with the outcomes? (Yes or No) Mostly, I wish i knew i was going to be so into the process, art, and culture when i placed the first couple on my back, makes a full backpeice very difficult. But artwork wise, yes i'm happy.
8. Do you have any regrets? One sentence if yes. Placement, Placement, Placement, in addition to picking what you want and wanting it for the rest of your life, put it in a good place that you'll want it for the rest of your life.
9. Have the tattoos hindered your employment opportunities? Examples Nope, my bosses know i'm tattooed, my colleagues know i'm tattooed, my clients know i'm tattooed...but I'm lucky in that i've always had a very laid back office environment and i'm extremely professional and my tattoos are covered at work.
10. Do people perceive you differently since your tattoo? it is totally not who i was when i was younger, so i get a lot of, i never imagined you'd be the type's , and a lot of HOLY SHIT WHEN DID YOU DO THAT's

1. Male
2. 29
3. Cracker
4. IT/ run own company on the side (Askipedia)
5. I would guess between 5 and 10%, stomach, one long one that wraps around my left arm and a few smaller ones.
6. Got my tattoos because I like altering my body as I see fit, plus every tattoo I get has a specific meaning except one.
7. I'm happy with the way every one looks.
8. I got one small one on my back, a spur of the moment decision. I'm not overly displeased with it, but I do want a large back piece and this little guy is in th way so it will have to go.
9. Tattoos have never effected my employment but I've had the same job for the past 10 years and I got the tattoo that is exposed everyday about 2 years ago so what were they going to do, fire me?
10. People perceive me much differently, more people want to talk to me when I'm out and about, I'm still determining if that's a positive or a negative, it's a positive to them that's for sure. JK I don't mind young girls fawning over me because they like my tattoo.

Tattoo Questionnaire
1. Male
2. 30
3. White
4. Law Enforcement
5. 5% maybe, but that includes a large inner forearm plaid tribal piece.
6. In one sentence, why did you get your tattoo(s)?
At the time it was to be different, maybe alittle bit of rebellion. But also I just love the art.
7. Are you happy with the outcomes? (Yes or No)
Yes as far as the quality of the pieces I have
8. Do you have any regrets? One sentence if yes.
Yes, mainly I got pieces spur of the moment with no real long term plan for them. I wish I would have thought them out better.
9. Have the tattoos hindered your employment opportunities?
I don't think they have.
10. Do people perceive you differently since your tattoo?
They used to. When I got them 12 years ago they were not as mainstream as they are now so I was looked at as kinda a freak, especially growing up in a VERY rural area. |
