Get a tattoo and increase your chance to have sex
The study was carried out using 2584 women and men, who were heterosexual and were 25 years old on the average.
The result showed that women found men with tattoos more masculine than those without. It also showed that they believe men with tattoos could intimidate their male rivals which further heightened their sexual attractiveness. Talk about primal instinct.

As part of the study, the participants were shown pictures of men with tattoos and those without and they had to score them using a five-point scale.
The men were rated on health, attractiveness, dominance, aggression and masculinity. They were also ranked based on the likelihood of their being good parents and partners.

The tattooed men were ranked as being more masculine, dominant and healthy; when men have these features, they have a higher chance of getting laid, so guys you have to take care of your tattoos !
It is also noteworthy that these features are related to high levels of testosterone. The study also showed that men with tattoos were viewed as being attractive by other men. Considering the fact that the men in the study were heterosexual, it is safe to assume that tattooed men are viewed as rivals by other men.
In another twist to the study, women were of the opinion that men without tattoos have the potential to be better partners and fathers. This is believed to have arisen out of the “bad-boy” perception associated with tattooed men.
So, even if getting a tattoo would improve your chances of getting laid, you may want to reconsider getting a tattoo especially if you want a committed relationship, and not just casual sex.

- Global Fusion: Globalization has led to a diverse fusion of tattoo styles and motifs, celebrating cultural diversity and creating unique designs influenced by various traditions.
