Mas tatuajes/piercings, mas problemas

En este paper los autores reportan una correlacion positiva y significativa entre el numero de tatuajes/piercings y una conducta problematica (tal como el uso de substancias ilegales, haber sido arrestado por algun crimen o hacer trampa en la universidad),

"Results indicate that respondents with four or more tattoos, seven or more body piercings, or piercings located in their nipples or genitals, were substantively and significantly morelikely to report regular marijuana use, occasional use of other illegal drugs, and a history of being arrested for a crime. Less pronounced, but still significant in many cases, was an increased propensity for those with higher incidence of body art to cheat on college work, binge drink, and report having had multiple sex partners in the course of their life time."
