Woman has tattoo logo due to 'emotional attachment'

A woman from Bristol has had the logo of her favourite bar tattooed on her back to remind her of the good times she had there after she has moved from the city, it has been reported.

The Bristol Evening Post reveals that 20-year-old Ayeshah Smith feels such an emotional attachment to Illusions Magic bar that she wants a permanent reminder of it.

She told the publication: "I got the tattoo because the bar is like my home and family. Everyone I love is at the bar and it will give me something to take away."

Co-owner of the bar Mark Bennett said they knew she was going to get a tattoo of the image, but added that they were shocked by its size.

In recent research, University of Waterloo social psychologist Grianne Fitzsimons claimed that the sight of certain logos, whether engraved on corporate gifts or decorating desk accessories, can make people behave in a certain way.
