A new study indicates that women and men who have permanent tattoos are more likely to be arrested, convicted and incarcerated. That's according to a study published in the journal Deviant Behavior.
When comparing arrests, convictions and incarceration from those with tattoos to those without, the authors found that men with tattoos were over 2.5 times more likely to be arrested, 1.8 times more likely to be convicted and twice as likely to be incarcerated.
Women with tattoos were 1.75 times more likely to be arrested, 1.68 times more likely to be convicted and 1.9 times more likely to be incarcerated compared to women without tattoos.
