In a study conducted by Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Canada, researchers wanted to study how accurate a stereotype that women with tattoos are more sexually open is and what factors may contribute to sexual openness.

Researchers found that, of the women studied, those with an inking did show more of a willingness to engage in uncommitted sexual relations. They also found that inked women

had higher endorsements for egalitarianism.

The study found that women with tattoos reported greater willingness to engage in uncommitted sexual relations, as well as higher endorsement of egalitarianism and sensation-seeking, relative to non-tattooed women.
