Ryan Burge · Graphs About Religion (Substack)
Analysis of 2023 Pew Research Center data on tattoo prevalence across American religious groups. Examines current ownership, future likelihood, and attitudes by tradition, generation, and motivation. Latter-day Saints and Jews remain among the most reserved on tattoo acceptance even as broader societal acceptance has grown.
Substack blog analysis (not peer reviewed) summarizing Pew data; cross-sectional snapshot; LDS subsample is small relative to majority traditions.
