This Pew survey saying 56% of adult zoomer women are tattooed is going viral on twitter and everybody is rightfully repulsed by its findings.

56% is a horrifying statistic but it's worth noting that zoomers are ~50% brown and having zero tattoos (for all age ranges) correlates with:
- being White (68% clean skin)
- heterosexuality (69% clean skin)
- higher income (79% clean skin)
- having a degree (76-79% clean skin)

Conversely, having a tattoo correlates with being brown, gay, poor, and uneducated.

So, it would be logical to assume that dirty-skin percentages among zoomers are being driven up by undesirables, but the situation is still diabolically bad.
