Increase. Every time.
I took out my dimple piercings... trippled over night.
Medusa... increase.
Hid the septum... increase.
Even when piercings look good on you... they can really hurt your income.
There are a ton of guys who really like alt girls... but it's a lot easier to make money when you appeal to a broader audience.
I'm still gonna keep my snakebites :) I think a little piercings are ok. ^^^ you still have some piercings though right?
I've taken out everything in my face but the septum.
All for reasons unrelated to dancing... but they had definate boosts in my income as they each came out.
why not get retainers for your piercings? so that way you can still have them while not at work.
What are angel bites? I can't find them anywhere in the bmezine encyclopedia
Retainers normally glow under the black light and look totally retarded.
Same thing as snake bites... but in the top lip.

yes. i always take out my septum while at work because i make more money. always.
I had snake bites and angel bites when I started dancing too! I was CONSTANTLY getting "oh you would look SO much prettier if you just took all that metal out of your face"
I've had my snake bites for 7 years so they didn't close up when I took them out but my angel bites closed up almost immediately
It seems like you're throwing away your target demographic by having piercings--especially in your face! I mean all I talk to are 35-70 year old males, and some of them can't even stomach my bellybutton piercing! I literally can't imagine trying to make money in this job without that age group, and they just can't handle piercings.
I'm not trying to be offensive--I used to have my nape pierced!--I'm just saying that this is a job that generally is not friendly to piercings/tattoos. (Though this is of course a regionalized, generalized statement).
from what i've seen, guys have largely accepted tattoos. a lot are really turned on by them, think the girl is more naughty, etc.
piercings are different. piercings can get caught on things. or maybe there's something else about them. maybe a girl would say, oh don't touch me there, i don't want to hurt my piercing.
i've never had anything pierced, not even my ears. and if a guy comments about my lack of piercings, i'll point out that i don't even have holes in my ears. and they love it. so it's not even just weird piercings that are a problem. it's all of them. charlie mentioned her navel piercing. those are super common, yet a lot of custies dislike them.
i think it's sooooo weird, cos you can always just take a piercing out. you can't just take a tattoo off.
since you'll still have the snakebites, i doubt it'll make too much of a difference. if you take them out too, it will. plus, you're little and young looking. so you appeal to the guys who like that. and piercings and stuff really hurt sales with those guys. they're whole thing is to pervert someone innocent, not to find someone who's already perverted. you know?
Yup. This is why I'm always telling younger girls talking about getting pierced/tattooed not to do it.
Having no piercings or tattoos is SO RARE in this industry that girls with neither can REALLY bank on it.
Anyway. This is another one of those things where... you can make money with piercings (even weirder ones)... but you have to work a lot harder.
I've only worn my septum while working a couple of times, and guys seem less interested in me while wearing it.
where can girls bank on this? i want to go there.
i'm so fucking vanilla looking, and guys just say i must be shy or some dumb shit like that. dude, my pussy was just a foot away from several guys faces, do i really seem shy? wtf?!?!?!
around here, guys are used to tattoos, and not having them makes you seem too innocent to be a stripper. i want to go to the greener pastures where guys still don't dig it.
I get alot of guys who get dances from me because of my nipple piercings
Earnings have tripled -_-
^ Yikes. That's great, but sucks at the same time.
Yup. Luckily, that doesn't seem to be the case with tattoos where I work. Once in a blue moon someone will tell me they don't like tattoos, but almost every single person I talk to compliments them. I just started on a sleeve, and I get the same thing.
I used to have purple hair, but that didn't really show up in the dark, so it wasn't an issue.
People really love my glasses, although it's a turn-off to some people. That's more of a comfort issue for me though (contacts suck for me most of the time).
Do what makes you money, but if you don't want to give up a piercing because it makes you happier than a bit of extra money would, then keep it:) We all have to do these balancing acts for the job. I'm just lucky that tattoos don't seem to be an issue, and tend to make me money.
