| Abstract | As tattoos become increasingly popular, the need to understand the individuals who obtain them rises as well. To do so, many experiments compare already tattooed individuals to those who do not have tattoos; this experiment, however, set out to compare tattooed individuals to their previously nontattooed selves. To do this, individuals received a two-week temporary tattoo. Of particular concern to this experiment was the idea that a tattoo would influence levels of self-esteem. To assess this, individuals completed the State Self-Esteem Scale (SSES) before and after wearing a temporary tattoo. Results indicate that, after wearing the tattoo for two weeks, individuals had higher levels of self-esteem. Further considerations for tattoo visibility and satisfaction were also explored in relation to self-esteem. These findings are discussed in light of extant tattoo research; above all, this experiment provides an ethical manner of administering a tattoo to individuals that future studies could mimic to assess other implications of obtaining a tattoo.
