To work at my club girls are not allowed any visible tattoos. So the ones who have them cover them up with dermablend.

i wasn't saying anything about your response. i was just pointing out that it's only one hand.. since everyone who responded to it said "those". it was just an observation.

ok, i'm busted, you're right i didn't notice at first that it was the same hand, but my response is still the same. I don't like the tat.

My overall look appeals to 99% of the guys who walk through the club. And I'm not tooting my own horn, that's just reality. You'll just have to trust me that the tattoo has never hurt my money, and in fact I get a lot of "I don't usually like tattoos on women, but that is beautiful," etc. Some might be blowing smoke up my ass, but as long as they are handing me fistfulls of cash I don't mind.;)

How would you know if it does or doesn't hurt your money? Did you get the tattoo before you started stripping?

I have posted on this very subject a few year's ago here. I would only like to add this prospective from a heavily tattooed male. Tattoos are a rather personal thing and usually project some special meaning to the wearer. For that reason my tattooed peers are usually rather sensitive about this subject. From my personal experience I have this to say. I'm tattooed from the wrist's up and proud of it. I go to work at the stripclub and dress casual, sometime's long sleeve's and sometime's short. When I owned an automotive business I wore long sleeve's all the time as with the bar and grill I just sold. As a member of Mo.A.C.E. I have had to participate in congressional committee hearings and have one on one meeting's with senator's and congressmen. To have walked into those meeting's sporting my sleeve's would have been futile to our cause therefor I would never. People can't help but to make an initial opinion based solely by apperance and place you in a predetermined catagory, we've done all our lives.

My personal opinion about tattooed dancer's and I have had many top earner's that were tattooed and rather heavily, they were beautiful and hard worker's with great hustle. Do I think the tattoo's helped or hurt there earning potential? I know it effects earning's in a negative way due to the older crowd not being as accepting of artistic impression. Now this is a generanization because there are older men that would appreciate them and also younger one's that don't. Don't get me wrong they still make money and damn good money at that but it does alter to some degree the potential customer base. All in all this pertain's to the more radically tattooed sister's as it seem's one or two small tattoos have little or no effect overall.

Two most common question's I am asked at the club when I'm wearing short sleeve's ( and this is honest ) ;

Q; " Hey bro 8) .... Where'd you do time at ???? "

A; " Although I have done alot of illegal thing's in my life }:D , I was never stupid enough to get caught ::) ... "

Q; " Hey man ... so ..... you wanna do a line.... ? "

A; " :beat: F***in idiot, get the hell outta my club!! "

Unless someone is going to claim that there are guys out there who will only dance with tatted women, the most anyone can claim is " I still make pretty good/ very good/great money despite the tattoos". Some guys here, myself included, have said excessive tats can be a deal-breaker. Conversely, I have a hard time envisioning any guy seeing a really pretty dancer and saying " Gee, if only she had some tats I'd do a dance with her ". Unless you disagree with the last 2 sentences, over time, tattoos ( at least excessive ones ) can only hurt earnings. The only issue is how much and whether the money lost is worth whatever those with tattoos get out of having them.

Sorry for the miss written statment Jay, I didn't intend for it to come out that way at all. After re-rereading my post I meant and should have said .. type of artistic expression. My fault for attempting to be articulate with the proper resources. I spend too much time proof reading for spelling errors and not enough on structure. I will be more careful in the future.

I think a guy telling a dancer he loves her tattoo has about the same chance of being true as the dancer who tells the balding guy how much she loves bald men. Hey it might be true. I have to admit to a kind of perverse pleasure taken by pointing at the most hideous tattoo on a dancer's body and saying, "That one is fantastic!"

No, the only issue is that I have a huge fucking tattoo and I still make more money than most of the girls at my club. And that's been the case everywhere I've ever worked. I hustle from the time I get there to the time I leave, rarely leaving much downtime in-between. If there was more money for me out there non-tattooed, then I can't imagine when I'd have the time to make it.

And furthermore, just because we dance doesn't mean we make EVERY SINGLE DECISION about our lives around it. I love this tattoo and I don't give a fuck who does or doesn't like it. I've ALWAYS made my money, so if I say that the tattoo hasn't affected it, then it hasn't. I have never once been turned down because I have a tattoo, in fact, I barely get turned down at all, so figure that one out, genius.

One day you men will realize we really don't give a FUCK what you think about us. You are a dollar sign and nothing more, never forget that.

While I would intuitively agree that relatively few customers would have "lots of ink" on a composite of their dream woman - I mean, we are more than the sum of our parts. I seriously doubt that many customers have sat with me for 15 minutes, been all "You're completely adorable and charming, and I would love to get 20 dances with you... oh. What's that? I'm sorry, I hate tattoos, I've changed my mind." Those few that have... well, there is no point in worrying about them because you cannot be all things to all people (I mean, you could say the same thing about customers who like brunettes rather than blondes). Personally I think it is weird to be that focused on dissecting and cataloging the elements of a girl's appearance rather than taking in the whole package, but your money, you can spend it how you want. I've worked with a few goth/punk type girls with a whackload of ink who seemed to fascinate guys as well - like, no, not every guy in the bar, but relatively few women do fascinate every guy in the bar.

I would also suggest that Andygirl and Penny have a point - maybe the character judgments could be left out. Like "I think tattoos are ugly" is, honestly, insulting enough to people who have them; there is no need to connect to character and "class" as well.

That's all well and good, but the question the OP asked was "will it hurt my earnings?" and the concensus so far is "yes." This is not an indictment of you or your tat, but as the poster you responded to said, there are not legions of men out there saying "damn, if only she had a tattoo."

I prefer no tattoos, and don't mind a few small, pretty tattoos. However, I have enjoyed dances from girls who had many large tattoos because of their fun personalities. I know one very attractive dancer who had bats tattooed on her breasts, and I never could get past that, although lots of goth and biker guys seemed to be attracted to her.

One thing that is a sure turn off for me is nipple piercings. That's why I like to see the stage performance before I ask for a dance, because it seems kind of tacky to ask.

:'( But I love my lil barbels...lol. There so small that most guys dont even know I have them from seeing me on stage...they only notice em when I get em up close, so you better keep an eye out or i'll sneak attack with with my nipple barbells hehe.:boobies:

I thnik as much as guys will say "oh I dont like tattoos" it really depends on the girl. Alot of the top earners where I work have quite a few tattoos or even just a couple large ones. And I see these girls doing CRs with older gentlemen that you would often think would be most turned off from tattoos. I think unless a guy really really passionatly hates tattoos, if he likes you, your look, and your personality, it prob. isnt a big deal.
I love tattoos and I love people with tattoos (as long as there not shitty jailhouse tattoos). When I go to SCs with my boyfriend he always knows I'm gonna go for the cute lil girl whos pierced and tatted (because conincidently, these always seem to be the girls who I find attractive and have rockin personalities.)
As for myself, I have 1 small tattoo in a place that can be easily hidden (not so much in a strip club, but I could cover it with dermablend with no problem) and I would prob. only ever get small tattoos in places that could be hidden if I had to...because thats just what I prefer on myself. But all you pretty tattoo covered girls...you come hustle my money anytime I'm visiting your club.

AMEN!!! About once a year I dye my hair dark(usually dark red). Both for fun and to give my hair a break from the bleaching. I like it. It makes me look glamorous and makes my eyes REALLY blue.
But you cant imagine how many guys at work will bitch about it....tell me how much more money I must make as a blonde, how more guys like blondes, blah blah fucking blah. True as that may be....screw it. I wanted red hair right then. And since redheads are rare...my money is just fine...I get all the guys who like that.

I see it the same with tats. While I dont have any...I've never seen it make differance in a girls money.(with the exception being maybe the girl with heavy sleeves, or tats covering her head to toe) Guys expect strippers to have tattoos. They are shocked when I tell them I have none. I am the EXCEPTION.So if you want a tat...get one. Dont worry too much about how it will affect you in the club. When it comes right down to it...guys are there to see tits and ass after all..so as long as you've still got those, you'll be fine!

I thought we were addressing the OP's question about ink and whether to get more. No personal judgments were made, only preferences aired. The OP asked what effect tattoos might have on her earnings and opinions were given. I don't recall reading where anyone's character was impugned because of tattoos.

A couple of my ATF's have sizeable tattoos, but that's not the reason why I spend time with them. Since I've known them so long, their ( the tats ) effect on me is neutral.

All I basically said was I don't think they help a dancer's bottom-line.

As far as not caring what we think, the OP ( adancer ) posed the question to customers, and apparently the fact that she is a dancer is affecting her decision in this matter.

You don't think comments like "have some class" are personal judgments and impugning someone's character? Well there you go. I disagree, and I don't think you can claim that a reasonable person could not possibly see that as judgmental and even discourteous.

I thought the whole point of SS and much else that goes on in SCs was precisely to make us not realize that fact and to soon forget it if we do. As the Chinese say, "Be careful what you wish for". ;)

I don't recall that comment ( not saying it didn't take place, just don't remember it) and I thought the poster was targeting me for being judgmental ( since I was quoted ), which I didn't understand. I would agree with you that "have some class" is a totally inappropriate comment to make.

Cameron, when you say guys are shocked at the club when you tell them you don't have tats, you're right, it IS because they expect to see strippers having tattoos...but it doesn't mean they want it necessarily. It's like I said above...it's so much part of the landscape at SC's now that customers are resigned to it, and to find a girl without one is a surprise.

Let me ask this...let's say twin girls work at a club...dress the same, act the same, etc...one with tats, one without...who do you think would make more money, all esle being equal?

Hypothetical twins aside...since guys are "resigned" to strippers having tats...I highly doubt that getting one would severely affect her bottom line. Most customers, even those who would prefer an uninked girl, have learned to look past a few tattoos. If guys didnt buy dances off girls with tattoos...strip clubs would have shut down years ago!!

actually, i have friends who specifically look for tattooed girls when they go to strip clubs.

and, when i go as a customer with my boyfriend, tattoos are a definate "plus" when we're looking for a dancer.

i -do- think that is the minority. .... i'm just saying it's not as "unlikely" as suggested.

I mean, there is no "equal" there is just taste and judgment. Some guys might like a big, toothy wide open smile and some might like a quiet, mysterious close lipped smile. I don't think THAT preference is often overruled because of ink. Nobody "act the same"; really nobody "dresses the same." And really I think most guys focus on the package, not one thing. (I actually just remembered one customer who told me that he liked brunettes - my hair is quite a light red. I asked, jokingly if he wanted me to just run in back and dye my hair really fast. He laughed, and said "Would you mind?" But he got dances from me. See? Package. As it turns out that one thing that would be in the composite if he were designing a woman wasn't as important as the woman as a whole. I think way more guys are like this than "sorry, that element is a dealbreaker" types.)

Even by your hypothetical, I'm not sure I buy your point. Like - how many tattoos, where etc? I think a "tramp stamp" would make negligible or no difference, for example.

I don't doubt that there is a percentage of the dance-buying population that prefer only tatted girls, I just think it is probably smaller than the poulation that prefer only non-tatted girls. I agree that its the total package that leads to the dance sale. I wouldn't refuse to consider spending $$$ on a tatted girl, but on the whole I think tattoos have (at best) a neutral impact on earnings.

08-02-2007, 11:48 AM
I have heard guys say (post, actually, on another board) that they only or mostly buy private dances from dancers with extensive tats, not because they find the tats attractive but because they think that heavily inked dancers are more likely to offer extras. Some members of the other board disagreed but many agreed. To the extent that a significant number of customers have that belief (whether or not it is true), it probably affects earnings, in one direction or the other. (And please don't "shoot the messenger"; I'm just repeating what I have read elsewhere.)

Personally, I mildly prefer no or minimal tats but, as others have said, it is really the overall package and no single thing that is important.

As an aside, it is a little surprising to me that no clever chemist has yet come up with some sort of tatoo ink which looks as good as ordinary ink but that disappears after, say, five years...or which can be easily removed by scrubbing with or injecting some neutralizing agent. As many have noted here, a major problem with tats is that they are difficult or impossible to remove. So what may have seemed like a great tat when you were 20 or drunk or working as a dancer or ... can become a problem later when you are trying to get a different sort of job or are much older or simply have gotten tired of that particular design/theme/message, etc.

I am (obviously) not particularly well informed on this topic, but I think that henna is the name of the body painting technique which is common in India...and perhaps originated there? It lasts only a few weeks if I recall correctly? That is maybe a little too short a duration to be ideal, but right...certainly a step in the direction I was suggesting. Or maybe "henna" has a broader meaning of which I am unaware?

Anyway, do many dancers use henna tats?

No one actually said that. The sad fact of the matter is that everyone is subjected to stereotypes. As a dancer I am sure you know that. Customers in the club get stereotyped. Everyone does - whites, blacks, spanish, asians, no one is immune.
Including women with tattoos. I'm not saying the stereotype is accurate, but apparently there is a segment of the population that believes women with tattoos will behave differently than those without.

No-regrets tattooing on the way (http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/personal/07/19/combustable.tattoos.ap/index.html?iref=newssearch)

This guy is developing a true tattoo ink (not henna) that breaks down much easier through laser removal. Personally, I'm not sure I like the idea. Tattoos are supposed to be permanent. You should never go into the tattoo parlor thinking that if you don't like it, you can get it removed. On the other hand, there's lot's of bad tattoos and bad decisions out there...so maybe it's a good idea.

08-02-2007, 12:51 PM
Cameron, my point is just going back to what the OP was asking about...will tats affect how much I make?

The answer is yes. So many girls have tats at SCs that men have come to accept it...however, let's say a guy is at your club. He's deciding who he wants to drop some money on. He sees you, and he sees a girl that he is similarly attracted to...except she has a big tattoo on her thigh and one on her tit. Now, you know nothing about this guy...who do you think he's most likely to spend his money on, assuming your hustling skills and hers are the same?

I am not saying you can't make money with tats. Obviously you can. What I'm saying is, in a given length of time, ALL else being equal, girls without tats will make more money. Those with them have to find ways to overcome having them...by hustling harder to reach more men, or what have you.

Indeed. And stereotypes have consequences with which you must deal, even if they are completely false.

For a more extreme example, a young to middle-aged Western woman walking around in public by herself, even if dressed in completely ordinary and conservative (by Western standards) street clothes, will be widely assumed to be a whore or *very* "loose" woman in many parts of the Arab world (as well as some other places). She is likely to be openly accosted, verbally and physically, by passing men, etc. The fact that this stereotype is totally inaccurate and very unfair/offensive doesn't alter its impact or the advantage of at least knowing in advance that it is out there.

The point is that, even beyond whether or not they are considered attractive, tats will affect *some* customers' expectations and, thus, spending. Just another point to be considered in deciding whether or not to get one.

i love my tattoos. it's a great conversation starter. I have two big ones on my arm, one on my shoulder (big) one on my ribs, and one on my ankle. they're all of decent size.

and btw, yes, people -did- bring up tattoos being classless.

the added "whores" comment was just me making light of the observation that some customers think tatted girls are more likely to give extras.

Apologies to the OP, I realize you are asking the guys their opinons on this, but I do feel the need to defend myself when personally attacked. Don't ya just love it when the customers try to tell US how it is? Fucking morons.

No apologies necessary. I think that if a guy wants to answer my question in a way that tells dancer's how to live their life instead of a simple "yes I like them." or "no I dont." Then please, rip them a new one! ;D

LOL at the thought of any of the naysayers refusing a grind (or stage dance, or [insert applicable service here]), from a hot-ass chick like the one in Andygirl's avatar, because she has a tattoo on her back.

The presence or absence of a tattoo is so far down the list of applicable criteria (for deciding when to get a LD) that it doesn't even register.

I dont mind tats...just none of that crazy full body/gothic stuff. I like the typical ones like a heart, butterfly, etc. Also i prefer them to be not too big.

well, having danced 3 days with my incomplete but rather large tat, I made money from it. people loved it, and I did a greater percentage of repet dances and had roughly the same number of initial nos.

I think also that when they're beautiful works of art, like mine and a lot of other girls, the difference isn't a big deal. ya, some guys hate them, but other guys LOVE them.

I know it effects earning's in a negative way due to the older crowd not being as accepting of artistic impression.

Um, just because someone expresses themselves artistically, doesn't mean it's aesthetically appealing across the spectrum of subjectivity. Same can be said for the preponderance of tattoos.

I agree with your point, although she may be on to something.

Based on absolutely no evidence at all and just my very limited single person experience it does seem that people tend* to form their impressions about what is cool, new, and progressive art during their younger years (for example, music, where you see a lot of people who tend enjoy music from their youth more then newer music). Of course there is a whole human history of art/music behind us, and a history of people who created art, enjoyed it, didn't enjoy it, etc.. Exactly what we like changes in time, and varies depending on what culture one is raised in. Tattoos are surely not new or unique to this point in history, but people's feelings about them as appealing or not changes much the way our feelings about fashions and style change over time.

* p.s., by using the word "tend" here, I mean the general trend. Obviously there are many exceptions, and different people will continue their appreciation of newer forms of art and music later into their life then others.

I have been spending some time in SCs going back to the mid-late '60s, the amount varying greatly over the years, and it is certainly true that tats were once very rare among dancers, especially in upscale clubs. Sometime back in the '80s or '90s that began to change.
