Question

Students with tattoos or body piercings are they more likely to have anxiety and depression? If so why?

Answer 1

Ummm. I wouldn't think so. Tattoos and body piercings nowadays are to show off and look "cool". I think a person who has anxiety and depression would be more quiet and not want to stick out. Tattoos especially make a person stand out. If a person with a sleeve of tattoos was walking with others who had no tattoos at all, that person who be noticed for the drawing on their arm. But honestly, I'm not really sure. Please feel free to correct me about something and tell me if I'm right or wrong. Thank you and have a nice day!

Answer 2

Although polls do show that students with depression and/or anxiety, tattoos and piercings don't associate with the mental illnesses. According to http://www.jcomjournal.com/health-risks-associated-with-tattoos-and-body-piercing/, "Tattoos and piercings are ancient practices of body modification that have gained widespread acceptance in modern society, particularly among young adults."  Use the website listed above for more help!
