Tattoos in Argentina


INTRODUCTION
With the following investigation we will try to find out whether the opinion of people in Argentina about tattoos differs between generations.
Our hypothesis is that each generation will have different points of view because tattoos have been naturalized in our society with the passing of time.
The question we intent to answer is: Argentinean´s opinion about tattoos differs between generations?
We will poll the same amount of people for each group. Once we polled, we write down the results and elaborate a conclusion that wills intent to answer our question.

METHODOLOGY
To collect data, we created a poll to be answered by people from three different generations. We understand a generation as a cohort comprising 10 years. We divided them intro de following groups:
Teenagers between 15-25 years
Adults between 35-45 years
Elders between 55-65 years
They will have to answers the following multiple choice. People can choose more than one option.

POLL

1.      What do you think about tattoos?
They are...
o   Interesting
o   Disgusting
o   Violent
o   Funny
o   Addictive
o   Cool
o   Stupid
o   I don't care
o   Other

2.      What do you think about people with tattoos?
They are...
o   Interesting
o   Disgusting
o   Violent
o   Funny
o   Cool
o   Stupid
o   Addict
o   Just as any other person
o   Other

3.      Would you employ someone with tattoos?
o   Yes
o   No
o   It depends, on what?

4.      Do you think people tend to regret about their tattoos?
o   Yes
o   No

5.      Why do you think people get tattoos?
Because they...
o   Are stupid
o   Want to communicate something
o   Want to remember something
o   It’s cool
o   It’s fashion
o   Other, what?

6.      What did you think about this poll and the covered topic?
The answer is free, to us to know which people real opinion is.

7.      Are you interested in knowing the results of the investigation?

o   Yes
o   No

Getting the poll's results is taking us more time than what we have expected, because we spread the poll through social networks, and we received more teenagers’ answers than adults. We will have to find another way of sharing the questions with adults.
Up to the moment, we have collected more than 200 answers, but 200 are from teenagers.
It’s difficult to draw partial conclusions right now, because there is too much different between the established generations. However, we'll like to share the percentage obtained when we asked the interviewed if he was interested in knowing the results of the investigation. People had to choose between “yes” or “no”, and the 91% answered they would like it. This means that most people are interested in tattoos as a social phenomenon, and perhaps it would be possible to make another investigation that deepens more on the subject.
