摘 要：External perceptions of individuals based on the presence of tattoos were assessed. College students completed anonline attitudinal assessment in a 4 × 2 design. Participants were asked to rate the aesthetics of tattoos and models（11 women and 17 men） from Photoshopped images. Results （n = 152 usable of 177 collected） indicate that aswhole models and tattoos are not affected in aesthetic appeal, but individually some models and tattoos wereaffected. Tattoos were rated as better quality art when the model can be seen; thus, contextualization allows forgreater appreciation of the tattoo. Results support extant research that indicates women＇s attractiveness is notaffected by tattoos, which also providing a new approach for tattooed individuals.
