126: Are Tattoos Actually Bad For Athletic Performance?

In episode 126, the Professor, Maurie Luetkemeier, joins us on the show.

Specifically, Maurie will be discussing:

• How tattoos influence sweat rates
• How new reserach has updated the field
• Whether athletes should consider avoiding tattoos

“I went to school at Ball State University and I my started my teaching career at the University of Utah. And then I went on to teach at Alma College in Alma, Michigan, which is a little liberal arts school in the middle of Michigan. And that’s where we started our research on the effect of tattoos, on sweating.”
