Abstract in brief
The study explored the link between childhood abuse/neglect and getting tattoos or piercings, finding that those who experienced more severe abuse or neglect were more likely to have body modifications.
Results showed a positive relationship: as the severity of childhood trauma increased, so did the likelihood of having tattoos or piercings, even after accounting for factors like age, gender, education, and income.
These findings suggest that tattoos and piercings might serve as meaningful symbols or coping mechanisms for individuals who survived adversity, and could help inform mental health screening and support strategies.]

@NeadNgo there are obvious correlations between childhood neglect, risky behavior, social reception, potential medical risks, etc. in tattooing in general but especially with children. it’s not rocket science.

Here's another study on the topic.
I don't look down on these people. I try to use these signals as reminders we are all in need of God's love and healing.
@EagleZeroX You really don’t know what goes on in someone’s household until you live with them and you’d honestly be surprised. It may not be direct causation but there is a strong association.
All types of abuse cause trauma, and neglect does, too.

@urmumsawhre @AzorInfo @CaitPsych @jk_rowling Is this a common belief in US?
Apparently someone has thought about the connection and I came across this paper.
But at least this one has WAY too low correlation to make it reasonable to assume that someone is traumatized based on having many tattoos.

@BabyRabbitHole @JuliaZwegat They are more common among those with childhood abuse. Tattoos often linked with those with personality disorders and those that cut themselves.
