摘要

Background. In recent years, Italy has seen a constant upward trend in the practice of tattooing.The Italian National Health Institute has conducted a national survey to determinethe prevalence of tattooed people in Italy and to study related features of the phenomenon.Aim. Establish the prevalence and characteristics of the tattooed population and evaluateawareness of the risks associated with tattoos, which can contribute to consumerhealth protection.Methods. Computer-assisted telephone interviews and computer-assisted web interviewswere completed by a sample of the general population; 7608 people aged between12 and 75+.Results. The prevalence of tattooed people was 12.8% of the general population in Italy(95% CI: 12.05%-13.55%), equivalent to an estimated 6 900 000 tattooed individuals.Tattoos were more prevalent among women, at 13.8%, while tattooed men accountedfor 11.8%. The vast majority of tattooed subjects had decorative tattoos of small dimensions,with a higher prevalence of monochromatic tattoos. Only a minority of tattooedparticipants reported having cosmetic tattoos (3.0%) or medical tattoos (0.5%). Accordingto the data, 3.3% of tattooed subjects claimed complications or reactions; of these,only 21.3% consulted a dermatologist/general practitioner; more than half (51.3%) didnot consult anyone. In general, only 58.2% of the sample were aware of health risks. TheItalian survey showed that 36.7% of all tattoos had been performed in the last five yearsprior to the interview.Conclusions. The estimated prevalence of tattoos in Italy is in agreement with the statisticsof the European Union. The prevalence in the age group 35-44 years is almostdouble that of the Italian population and it is higher in women than in men. Tattooing isrelevant to public health. The high number of tattooed Italians, the potential long-termeffects on health and the reported complications call for the awareness of health authorities.Appropriate intervention should ensure safer tattooing by reinforcing the training oftattooists, by improving surveillance and by providing information to raise public awarenessof the risks and contraindications of tattooing.
