A tool was created to determine the demographic factor, and a series of self-structured questions about tattooing knowledge were also included. RESULT:The results indicate that college students' knowledge of tattooing is average, with the majority of students having this level of understanding. 67% of the respondents had average knowledge, 14.5% had good knowledge, and 18.5% had poor knowledge. The mean of level of knowledge regarding tattooing among college students was 3.3 with a standard deviation of 10.81.CONCLUSION:This finding indicates that the majority of students had an average level of tattooing knowledge.
