Tattoos are common in the United States; however, tattooed persons may be perceived as having more negative character and as more deviant than people without tattoos. College students (Study 1) and community members (Study 2) viewed images of men and women with tattoos or the same images with the tattoos digitally removed and rated the targets' characteristics. Half of the participants viewed a target with a tattoo, and half viewed that target without it, allowing for both within- (participants all rated one male and one female target with a tattoo and another without) and between-participants (participants rated either the tattooed or non-tattooed version of a single target) comparisons. Tattooed targets, especially women, were rated as stronger and more independent, but were rated more negatively on other character attributes than the same target images with the tattoos removed. The stigma associated with tattoos appears to still exist, despite the prevalence of tattoos in modern culture.
纹身在美国很常见；然而，有纹身的人可能会被认为比没有纹身的人具有更多负面性格且更偏离常规。大学生（研究1）和社区成员（研究2）观看了有纹身的男性和女性的图像，或者同样的图像但纹身被数字去除后的图像，并对目标的特征进行评分。一半的参与者观看有纹身的目标，另一半观看没有纹身的目标，这样就可以进行参与者内部（参与者都对一个有纹身的男性和一个有纹身的女性目标以及另一个没有纹身的目标进行评分）和参与者之间（参与者对单个目标的纹身版或无纹身版进行评分）的比较。有纹身的目标，尤其是女性，被评为更强壮、更独立，但与去除纹身的相同目标图像相比，在其他性格属性上的评分更负面。尽管纹身在现代文化中很普遍，但与纹身相关的污名似乎仍然存在。
