Abstract

Even in countries where tattoos are becoming more popular, hesitation toward accepting tattooing of not only oneself but others still exists. This is true for Japan, as various negative opinions about tattooing prevail among Japanese people. However, it is still unclear what kind of opinions tend to be linked to these feelings. This study performed a factor analysis on negative opinions about tattooing and obtained three factors: aversion to people, social disadvantage, and risk. Next, we performed a multiple regression analysis of the magnitude of the hesitation as a function of the three factors. The results showed that the social disadvantage factor was significant when respondents assumed they would be getting a tattoo and the aversion to people factor was important when they assumed others would be getting one. These findings suggest that factors those are linked to the hesitation toward tattooing of self and others specifically vary.
