That's easy. The most popular "Tattoo" was 3'11" actor Herve Villechaize. And of course, the most popular "Tattoo" location was "Fantasy Island." Ain't we a million laughs? Actually, as to the most popular tattoo, sources differ. This about.com page mentions dragons as the top choice, followed by butterflies. A 2001 article about tattoos in Asiaweek says, in Shanghai, "Dragons are by far the most requested..."
Checking search queries is another approach. Vanishingtattoo.com claims the butterfly is "far and away the most popular tattoo design request" (mostly by women), followed by "tribal": designs worn by indigenous cultures. The Yahoo! Group tattoo-flash lists tribal at number one, dragon and butterfly at two and three. Over at the Lycos 50, tribal designs again finish first, followed by tinkerbell (don't ask us), angels, and then butterflies. But, hold that needle a sec. Don't
we have some data on this topic ourselves? Yahoo! Buzz, from April 15th, reports the following top five tattoo design searches: - tribal
- cross
- star
- butterfly
- fairy
And we dug up the very latest Search numbers, as well: - tribal
- cross
- butterly
- fairy
- star
So to summarize: Looks like tribal tattoos are definitely number one. But "tribal" encompasses many different designs, so we'll have to go with either the butterfly, cross, or dragon, depending on region. And the most popular tattoo location? Several sources say the arm and lower back.
