Think tattoos always boost attractiveness? A new German study from Helmut Schmidt University suggests otherwise. After showing 487 adults the same faces—clean, lightly inked, heavily tattooed, and even facially tattooed—participants consistently rated the non-tattooed versions as more appealing. Surprisingly, even professional tattoo artists agreed.

It’s a fresh reminder that our perception of beauty is more complicated than we think. Share this post if it changed the way you see body art!
