Despite their ubiquity, and a specific amount of cultural acceptance, tattoos still retain a slightly naughty reputation, which, in a few circles can signal outlier status. When you have plans, as an example, to become the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, it's not likely advisable to truly have a coiled anaconda decorating your face.
ContinueFor women, tattoos seem to signal something particularly strange to a specific class of man (and when I say ‘certain class,' what I truly mean is the sort of man who thinks shouting the phrase ‘show me your "oranges"' is an authentic romantic overture).
According to a write-up in The Globe and Mail, French researchers recently decided to test the reactions of men, to women sporting body art, specifically their responses to women with tattoos on their lower backs.
Your investment sterile clinic and shapeless lab wear, the French researchers put their unusually attractive female subjects in bikinis and followed them to the beach, where in fact the women lay on their stomachs, reading. They subsequently left, then returned to the beach, this time wearing temporary ink on their lower backs, which seemingly caused the men within their vicinity to approach them faster and more readily than before.
When questioned, the men admitted that the sight of a lower-back tattoo was a heartening one — apparently, they assumed a tattooed woman is more prone to made love together than the usual woman with virgin skin. Enables you to wonder what they would conclude if they spotted Kat Von D heading for the library in a sundress.
Trying to determine how best to utilize this information is another matter entirely. (Suddenly I understand the appeal of a sarong.) I guess the takeaway here is that if you should be wearing a swimsuit and sporting a lower-back tattoo and you are approached by a strange man on the beach asking you on a romantic date, he's not likely enthusiastic about what you're reading, unless it is Fifty Shades of Grey.
