Interesting article in the Chicago Tribune on body piercing and tattoos among university students.

The full study will be published in March in the Social Science Journal.

What has your experience been working with clients with multiple tattoos and piercings? Have you also found they are prone to more deviant behavior? Are they more prone to self-harm?
