Michigan Tattoos: Here’s the Most Popular One in the State

Tattoos are nothing new, but it seems more and more people are getting them these days. We're all for that. I mean, who doesn't love a great tattoo? So, in Michigan what is the most popular tattoo out there?

The crew at Zippa recently did a study to determine the most popular tattoo in every state in the US. Zippa is "The Career Expert," according to their website, and they make the point that "it is more acceptable now than ever to have tattoos in the workplace." They add that, "One-third of companies are perfectly fine with visible tattoos. Others exist in a grey area where a small tattoo wouldn’t sway them from their ideal candidate. As acceptability continues to rise, we're going to see a lot more ink on the job."

As for methodology, Zippa used search trends to figure out "what tattoo each state gets more than any other state, using search proxy as a way to measure tattoo intent." So, people were searching about how to get these tattoos, and that's how they figured it out. They looked at a full year of searches, to boot.

So, what are the most popular tattoos in America? In summary, the study found that states like a lot of different tattoos, but cats, zodiac signs and marine mammals are extra popular. Another common one is butterfly tattoos, which the study notes are the most often searched on the web across the US, with an average 12,100. They also note that about 30% of Americans have tattoos, and the number of people getting inked in the US has gone up by 21% since 2012.

What's the most popular tattoo in Michigan? According to the study, and this is a shocker, a Biden tattoo is the most popular tattoo in Michigan. Politics aside, this really surprises me. I'm actually surprised to have any political figure named the most popular tattoo in a state. In nearby states, Ohio loves the whale tattoos, Indiana goes for the sheep tattoos and Illinois likes their barbed wire tattoos. Wow. Find the full study here. Also, thanks to my friend Joe Winner for first reporting this story down in Florida.

There's a lot of interest from American workers to find jobs to work remotely, and now, some companies are exclusively going that route. The number of jobs that in the job description and post say workers can be remote has almost tripled from pre-pandemic, going from about 4% of in 2019 to about 12% of jobs in 2022, according to ZipRecruiter.

"The pandemic-induced 50-year acceleration in the shift to remote work has now firmly taken root as a win-win-win for workers, businesses, and the economy," ZipRecruiter.com says. "For workers, it offers the chance to access distant opportunities, save time and money, lower the risk of contracting Covid, escape gas price inflation, work from anywhere, and spend more time with family. For businesses, it provides access to a wider and more diverse talent pool, reduces real estate and overhead costs, and increases labor productivity while reducing absenteeism. And on a national scale, it may help us avoid a wage-price spiral."

When it comes to the type of companies looking to hire remote workers, according to ZipRecruiter.com, it's high on tech jobs. "The share of job postings offering remote work was slowly growing before the pandemic, thanks to the rise of technologies such as cloud computing and video conferencing, but the trend accelerated at the start of the pandemic, and has continued to build. While about 12% of job postings overall now explicitly state that employees may work remotely, there is considerable variation across industries, with less than 1 in 50 job postings offering remote work in transportation and storage (unsurprisingly), but more than 1 in 4 job postings offering it in the technology sector."
