Are face tattoos more acceptable now?

Why are young people increasingly asking for tattoos on their hands, necks and faces? The British Tattoo Artists Federation has told You & Yours more young people than ever are now requesting tattoos on parts of their body that cannot easily be hidden. Hand, neck and face tattoos used to be known as "job stoppers" but are now becoming for some people the first place they wish to be inked. Winifred Robinson speaks to Nadine Anderson, a 23 year old care worker from Dundee, who has spent the last five years getting covered in a tattoo bodysuit. Her tattoos have led her to amass a huge following on Instagram, and a modelling contract. So are in your face tattoos now becoming more accepted in society?

First broadcast on You & Yours, 13 November 2019.
