New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 04/04/2014 --Over the past decade, the tattooing world has exploded with people from all walks of life getting inked. In the past, when people thought about the type of person who had tattoos, they’d think about only young people, or maybe those who were into heavy metal music, a biker or someone in the military. That may have been true in the past, but now things have changed. Age has no relevance when it comes to a tattoo in the modern world; people from all ages and all walks of life now have a tattoo.

Tattooing has never been so popular with people having more tattoos now than in the past decade. And now, more people are searching Google on how to tattoo like a professional. Thanks to popular television shows, celebrities having tattoos, which include David Beckham, and tattoos being featured on fashion lines…being a tattoo artist has become a profitable career.

In January 2007, a report was issued by the Pew Research Centre, which found that 36 percent of people aged between 18-35 had at least one tattoo. In 2005 another report was issued by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, which found 24 percent of the adult population had at least one tattoo. In 2013 a new study by the Pew Research Centre found that 45 million people in America had at least one tattoo, and with only 21,000 tattoo parlors in America, more people need to be trained in the art of inking to keep up with demand.

Having a tattoo is now the new norm. In fact, more and more people from all walks of life are getting tattoos. This includes: students, teachers, professionals, politicians, and even your neighbors next door. This just shows how far the tattoo world has come from the days of bikers and the armed forces being the only types of people with tattoos.

With the popularity of tattooing increasing in America, with over $1.65 Billion being spent in 2013 by people wishing to be inked, the tattooing industry is one of the fastest growing industries in America. However, there are not currently enough people trained to fill the demand, meaning some people are waiting weeks to have their first or next tattoo.

Elite Tattoo Pro (http://elitetattoopro.com) a popular tattoo training program has reported a large increase in the number of people visiting their site to purchase their popular Elite Tattoo Pro package, to learn the secrets of how to become a qualified tattoo artist. In fact, it’s now becoming one of the “go to” informational products on the subject of tattooing.

People may think that America needs more plumbers, or America needs more mechanics, but according to statistics, America needs more qualified tattoo artists.
