TAT TROUBLE

-

Mark of disapprova­l Tattoos could affect your running, says a new study. It found that tattooed skin produces less but saltier sweat than unadorned skin. This could result in inked runners having higher core temperatur­es and an electrolyt­e imbalance. The good news is that the body can compensate for areas that do not sweat properly. Dermatolog­ist Robin Travers speculates that it would probably not be until half the body was tattooed that running performanc­e would suffer.
