Do Tattoos Affect Preference for Gender?

by Marina Bystryy and Carly Biebel
The current study examined the relationship between preferences for tattoos and gender. Participants included 43 students from Penn State Behrend. Participants viewed randomized vignettes, rated their preference and comfort level, and completed an assessment that included tattoo history. Results indicated that male participants' comfort ratings towards the male individual vignettes were higher than the females. Implications of this study, were that male participants most likely preferred interacting with the males with and without tattoos.
