JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Wednesday, July 17 is National Tattoo Day!
It’s no secret that tattoos have become a more common sight in workplaces around the United States. According to a Pew Research Center report from 2023, 32% of adults have a tattoo themselves, including 22% who have more than one.

And among the most likely to have tattoos are women, Black Americans and younger adults. Shocked? Neither are we.
