My goal is to try to sell myself better to these types. I hate to say it, but most guys with tattoos who pick the tattooed dancer rarely spend alot of money. I don't know if it's my area, but I have actually learned to avoid tables of tattooed guys, cause they have been nothing but time wasters and assholes to me. I can't sell multiple dances to them, they usually only get one. They also want to sit and talk, buy me a drink but not pay me for it. Time is money, and the "older", business/non-tattooed type guys understand that.
I keep myself in peak shape and go out of my way to look like an 11 out of a 10 every night, to make up for the fact I have a tattoo I regret fucking BAD. I also wear fishnet tops to cover that tattoo so it's not the first thing people notice, it works pretty well and I can usually get 3 or so dances out of them before I have to take it off cause I am hot or, they request me to. But then, as soon as it comes off there goes the tattoo questions and the dances stop. Should I not wear them? That way it's not so surprising when I take it off?
Thanks sweetie! Happy to help :)
Conversation for me is the KEY w/ my clientele. Sure they're wanting the LD's but they also desire great conversation, a nice smile, sense of humor and basically a woman that is completely attentive ... as attention is more than likely what they are not getting at home ... hence being in a titty bar ;)

I moved to Vegas 6 months ago and it's ALL about hustling LD's ... and w/ the recession it's crazy tuff here. My home town club was predominantly stage ... so hustling wasn't something I had to do. The threads above were very helpful for me, and maybe they will be for you as well.
YES ... stop wearing the fishnet top to hide your tat. The surprise of seeing it is definitely prompting custys to ask questions. And do NOT tell any custy you regret your tat ... that's gonna make them ask even more questions.
I never get custys w/ ink talk to me ... maybe they think I look like a bitch w/ all my ink ... LOL. So give off the bitch vibe to guys w/ ink (hehe) ... and to the type of custys you like, give off the *hey honey, let's have fun* vibe ... and go rock their world and make $$! ;D

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
I am trying an upscale club here and covering my tattoos with makeup soon. If that doesn't help I'm leaving club dancing for good. If this club is also as overrun by extras and lookieloos as the rest of them, then I give up.
Adventurebaby- I'm giving the Men's club a shot. I visited there the other day and it seems nice. I'll fill ya in on how it goes.

I know you're frustrated w/ the club scene in your area ... that's probably putting it mildly ... but something's gotta happen for you! Sending you positive energies! Good luck honey! :)

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
Thanks! I'm hoping covering my tats may help... because it could be very well why I'm not making money. I know many girls on here have a lot of tats but I'm stuck off in the bible belt where fat, toothless rednecks tell me daily that tattooed women 'look weird'. ::) Lay off the barbeque and the meth!!
Also, men here gravitate towards 'thick' women, no matter what the shape of their body is in. They only care if it jiggles. Barf. Also, they like women with crap tattoos, like tweety birds and such. I absolutely hate the lack of culture here.

Are you in Missouri?

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
Nope... North fuckin Curlina. Home of Nascar, barbeque, nasty greasy food, and Billy Grahame. Everything sucks about it.
Although I could see why you thought I was talking about Missouri... it sucks too lol. :D

I know covering up your ink sucks but from the sounds of things it's for YOUR $$ benefit! :)
They're definitely NOT gonna like me out there ... I can scratch off NC. Thanks for the reality check ... yikes!

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
R u joking w/ the 600 a week lol look I know many girls who are tattooed up & made that a nite if not every nite every other. I didn't have any problems making money w/ my 9 tats, my 13 piercing or my spiky dykie short hair that was always chancing shades of manioc panic colors--then again I live in Mia & I'm me. I made mine from standing out to a wide diversity of different custies who didn't want the girl next door & would consider that boring or less attractive then well the way I knew how to market myself.
Anyhow I honestly just did my thing being a show off on stage, then I would scope out my custies when making my rounds taking notice of who was noticing me, I'ld work my charm, make my money & sometimes even ignore them all cuz if they weren't spending fast enough they weren't worth my time any. Idk I think I'm pretty hot shyt & a bad ass dancer with a nice bod so I think that in itself just worked for me. Yeah maybe i lost a few custies cuz they wanted a barbie or a girl next door type, but can't please everybody & for every 1 of those there was a custie who was just attracted to my more wildside of sexy.
I find tattoos very sexy & as a regular custie who simply luvs the scene even more on the being a custie side I (or whoever is paying for me) tends to spend more on a hottie w/ a body who is a stripper that has that sg appeal as that's my type of girl next to latin barbies (ideally both then she has the totally advantage interms of looks in my taste). However tattoos as cool & as much as I love them wont work any for me if the girl just doesn't bring it selling (the sexy) like a stripper is supposed to.
I could sell the sexy in a dark room where everyone had blindfolds & all i could do was give air dances on if i had to, but since I got to do so with my dancing, some contact/teasing, looks, and personality so it came ezier to figure out how to work it with that going for me. Spotting the custie, tapping in on their interest & delivering that fantasy is really the only thing you should focus on. Forget what the other girls make or who has tattoos or not. It's a matter of reading signals & being able to sell fantasy that's going to help you the most. Maybe changin clubs if you need too in order to find the right market for you if tattoos really are that taboo & much of a turn off around you. Nowadays I don't see the big issue as I have many dancer friends who have major artwork on them who do dance all over & make bank no problems.

Yeah, NC sucks. It's not what everyone told me it would be. Bumfuck GA was better.

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
I have a buddy who booked herself for North/South Dakota this summer. She said it's not bad for gals like us.

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
I hear nice things about that area. I also heard Indiana was oddly good.

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
there's lots of us! i'm heavily tattooed. (i'm also getting 2 removed, which is a *bitch* to deal with explaining to custy's...lately i've just been covering them up though). i have some piercings (microdermals, navel, nose, nipples, clit, tongue) too. i have platinum hair though, and am quite slender, and am the type to with clothes on look innocent and shy.
anyway, i make at least $1000 a week. my client type varies greatly. i'm not too fetishy myself, so can't really handle many/most of the insane requests i get for that sort of thing.
i think it's way more hustle than appearance, personally. :) just my 2 cents.

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
Well everyone, interesting night tonight. I gotta report. I am just kinda blown away right now.
There was a table of tattooed guys at the front and center of the stage, they tipped me almost $70 on the stage throughout the night. They also tipped me to sit and drink. I did one dance for a guy, which is $10, and he gave me $50.
Then, I hook up with an older, "business" gentleman, who said NOTHING about my tattoos, no questions, nothing. You would have thought I didn't have any. I did 8 dances for him, which should have been $80, he handed me $200 and called it a day.
I am not sure what was going on tonight, I think it was just an off night. I mean I am happy about it, not gonna complain, but definitely NOT gonna expect every night to be like this.
I am still kinda like umm did that really just happen? I was in a good mood, I think that had something to do with it, but I haven't had a night like this in a while.

EXCELLENT! ;D
Good mood definitely helps! Were you in a different head space, meaning NOT worried about your ink and just focused on work?
Oh ... I'm wondering if you decided not to wear the fishnet top?

Eeek, that's the first club I worked at, and I would never, EVER recommend it to anyone. Gross place...
btw, Indiana is the name of the town its in.

Re: Heavily Tattooed "Top Earners"/ High-dollar earners???
If you think you have to work harder, then you will. It's the whole Law of Attraction thing. Stay positive! If guys are asking about your tattoos, why not answer? It's a great conversation starter, and they may be slightly intimidated by you, want a dance, and they're trying to break the ice. Just remember to be as friendly (or more) than the girl next door types.
Have you considered modeling and joining Suicide Girls? It might help you put your tattooed beauty into perspective. :)
