The tattoo culture that has started in Polynesia has spread so wide and far that there is only a handful of countries left where it is not practiced. Such countries are mostly followers of Islam since tattooing in their culture is unacceptable. But in countries where there is no restriction for flaunting tattoos, people have taken emblazoning with designs to extreme obsession. Here are the four most tattooed countries in the world.
The United Kingdom
Tattoos that started in the early 19th century in UK have grown so big that the country has secured first position when it comes to getting inked. Here, you can find one out of three people with a tattoo. The Brits love all kinds of designs and colour for inking their bodies. They have tattoos in geometric shapes as well as realistic tattoos. Just like the shape, design, and colour, the Brits have no inhibition on body parts as well. They get tatooted on the inner part of their arms, and the most intimate body part – hip.
The statistic stated that tattoos would grow even bigger in the coming years. Perhaps, by 2025 one can see almost all people in UK with a tattoo. The Brits’ obsession with tattoo design is worth of admiration. Every year, 20 million designs are decorated on male and female bodies. The tattoo-friendly culture in UK has given it a rare distinction.
