final pitch

Tattoos and Jobs

Tattoos are they really that cool?We meet people who value ink more than their

skin. Will they regret it? The views will change as I find out why people get such public tattoos.

Initial ideas

• Gaming idea: interesting but may be really difficult to contact gaming companies

Development of idea

Facts and figures• One fifth of British adults are now 'inked’.

• Tattoos, suddenly, are everywhere. According to one survey this month, a fifth of all British adults have now been inked (as contemporary usage has it). Among 16- to 44-year-olds, both men and women, the figure rises to 29%. Only 9% of over 60s have one, according to a survey of 1,000 adults by the Ask Jeeves website, but 16% of people aged between 30 and 44 have two. The survey, while not entirely scientific, is in line with a 2008 US study showing that 36% of Americans aged 18-25, 40% of those aged 26-40 and 10% of those aged 41-64 have a tattoo. America, Woody reckons, is "probably about a decade ahead in terms of popularity”.
