Here’s What Tattoos Make You Do To People, And It’s Worse If You Have More

Sean Brown

Researchers are always studying all types of different things. Sometimes their results are obvious, while other times they leave us scratching our collective heads. Such is the case with the latest research that found that people with tattoos are more likely than others to do one thing in particular, and it gets worse with the more tattoos they have.

According to a study by Anglia Ruskin University, people with tattoos are more likely to be aggressive and rebellious, reports MailOnline. The conclusion comes from a study of 378 people between the ages of 20 and 58. One in four of the participants had tattoos.

Researchers supposedly found that the people who had tattoos had “significantly higher” levels of verbal aggression, anger, and rebellious tendencies, and they also linked it to the number of tattoos a person had. Those with more inked areas were shown to demonstrate these characteristics more frequently than those with less, researchers said.

More from MailOnline:

Those with tattoos were found to have “significantly higher” levels of verbal aggression, anger, and were more rebellious compared with people without tattoos.

The more tattoos a person had, the more angry they were, the survey found.

The research found that tattoos had become “mainstream” – with “no significant difference” in the social and educational background between those who with and without tattoos, and men and women were equally likely to be adorned with body art.

The tattooed people – members of the general public questioned in high streets, underground stations and parks in London – were more likely to be rebellious in a “reactive” way.

Someone who showed “reactive rebelliousness” would answer they would “get angry and argue back” if someone in authority shouted at them.

So there you have it, folks. If you have tattoos, you’re an angry person, or so these researchers say. As someone who has tattoos and who knows people with tattoos, I think their research is quite off, to be honest.

Yeah, tattoos may make someone look mean and scary, but some of the nicest people I’ve ever met have been covered in them. Regardless, what are your thoughts? Is this study accurate, or do you think they got it completely wrong?
