Seattle, WA - Researchers have found a link between tattoos and intelligence, or, rather, a lack thereof. After performing IQ tests on a group of people with tattoos and those without, it appears those with tattoos consistently scored 20 percent lower than those without.
Even more surprising was the link between types of tattoos and relative intelligence. For example, those with tattoos of chinese kanji characters tended to score near the bottom of the list, while those with tattoos of birds scored near the top.
While the data itself is indisputable, the interpretation is not. Is this an example of correlation or causation? Researchers wondered whether the tattoo made its owner dumber or if dumber people were more prone to get tattoos.
A side study focused on the intelligence of those with piercings, finding that those with piercings were less intelligent than their unpierced counterparts. The results of that study were unsurprising, as the bulk of piercings are found on/in women.
