Abstract

This study experimentally examined how location of a tattoo affects perceptions of a woman’s physicality, personality, and values. Overall, the location of tattoo did not affect ratings of how confident or feminine the target was. Ratings of attractiveness, traditionalism, and how feminist the target was differed based on tattoo location.
