Abstract in brief
- This study found that adults without an ADHD diagnosis who have tattoos or piercings tend to show more symptoms related to ADHD, especially when they have multiple modifications like both a tattoo and a piercing.
- The relationship between body modifications and ADHD symptoms was stronger with piercings than tattoos, with two piercings showing a noticeable link to higher ADHD symptoms.
- The findings suggest that getting body modifications, particularly tattoos, might be an indicator worth considering when screening for subclinical ADHD symptoms in adults.]
