My tats have not hurt my money, and on several occasions one tattoo in particular has helped me make A LOT of money.
However, they have stopped me from getting hired before.

The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.





^ It's the same with my hair. LoL. People are too uptight.

I am starting to hate tattoos. If a girl was drop dead hawt and had a huge tattoo, I would still probably pass. I do find the ones that are on girl's foot and creep up the ankle a lil' sexy though. If you have a bunch of little things everywhere that bugs the hell out of me too. Everytime I see one I can't help but think how much better it would look without it there. It helps if the tat(s) isn't fucking stupid, is original, and nicely done, but it can be a dealbreaker for me. My hubby doesn't mind tats if they fit the above criteria and you are not completely covered like Kat Von D. I'm seriously sick of seeing tats. I guess its good I don't go to clubs too often.




Problem with that is that a lot of people are easily impressed and may merely think it si well done. I see people often very impressed with art which is very poor but superficially appealling. Aside from the drawing ther is how tasteful the content of the picture is. The person wearing the tattoo is stuck with it on his body for life. He will be unhappy later when and if he aquires taste.




I go to SCs to see women uncovered, including by ink. If it's a small symbol, not a problem. Any bigger and it's just in the way or annoyingly distracting or obscures the strippers body and also usually the tattoo itself looks bad.
Rules of aesthetics are that when you add something (even a relatively small thing) to a design you disturb the aesthetic balance that was there - maybe it harmonises or maybe not. Chances are not, since the wearer or the tattoist chose where it goes and neither are likely to be aesthetes (innately or by training). A sexy female body is not a design I wish to be disturbed in a bad way and I don't think it needs adding to in a good way.
Most tattoo artists are pretty mediocre artists who rely on their clients to have no judgement. Fortunately for then that is most people. Which would include most of a stripper's customers, so perhaps it doesn't matter in that respect. But it could still have an unconscoius aesthetic affect on customers.





"Well done" is subjective. One of the nicest tats I've ever seen simply had the words "Made In Brazil" on it. It was a tramp stamp applied just above one of the nicest asses I have ever seen...
I agree that some folks are easily impressed but so what. A tattoo is art and art appreciation is in the eye of the beholder.
It's probably because I'm heavy into the body mod scene and, well, an artist, but I would run screaming from any tattoo artist that wasn't also an amazing artist. A girl I went to school with got an awful tattoo a while back (okay, it was a little uneven and wobbly) and we didn't talk to her for weeks until she admitted it was shitty.
But I'm a raging ink snob, so.
Get the fuck off my harbl, yo'.


girls who have 50 butterflies do tend to annoy me but not really because of the tats
I do enjoy original well done tats as they normally make for interesting conversation
I did talk one dancer into getting a tat done in UV ink, that was kinda interesting




My tats have meaning and I'm very picky aboutthe artist. I usually don't show them off especially since one piece has meaning. It's a bow on the back of my neck to represent where I cut off hair for my father when he passed but I don't tell custies that...it's not exactly something fun to talk about in a sc




Doesn't make a difference to me if the girl has tats, even if they are poorly done. I'm completely ambivalent about them and won't ask about them, but am glad to hear about them if the girl wants to share. I do not have any of my own mostly because I am not much of a symbolist. Also, I'm very fickle about things I like, can't ever decide on small things like my favorite band or movie...don't want to risk fucking with a tattoo.
My only sibling, OTOH, is covered with tats, top to bottom it seems.





I like tats on goth girls because it fits with the 'alternative' look. But, I'm not so crazy about tats on girls that look like regular college girls - for this group, I prefer a "good girl" and "girl next door" look without tats.
I work in a college-y club, and I have guys comment to me all of the damn time that they don't like the other girls' tattoos. I get a lot of attention for not having any tattoos/piercings.
But that's probably because I work in a very young club that carries the expectation that the girls should look wholesome/college-y.




Dammit I am so impressionable. Now I want a tattoo again...it comes and goes, the desire, haha.
^ Let me draw on you with markers, it'll wash off. And my mother's really into craft so I have like the most insane selection of markers.
Some SPARKLE, it's great.
Get the fuck off my harbl, yo'.
I'm not big on full body art although I would not automatically dismiss a dancer who chose to go that route. Having said that, I am more comfortable with no art or maybe a tat under the thong or top line.

Once again I have embraced my addiction and have put off the moral dilemma to another day.




Yeah I can see how that would be a hard one to do. You missed my point. There is disagreement even among good artists about what a good piece of art is but that's a different issue to beholders with no taste liking something which is just bad. When later on the person realises how awful it is he wll not be consoled by the number of other twits who like it.
The only reason I make a big deal over it here is that a tattoo is permanent and on your body.
One tattoo artist I knew thought he was a really hot artist but I saw some of his drawings and paintings and he was plainly shit-house. That didn't stop one of my other friends from paying $500 for one of his paintings. I feel sorry for the people who got his tattoos. "Well done" can't be in the eye of the beholder if so many beholders are fucked.
Art is not completely in the eye of the beholder.

^What others (customers) think does affect (not "effect") dollars - that was my point. You said that you don't give a fuck what "people" think about your art and spoke about what it is to you, so my response to that was obviously not about what I think.
This time keep me on ignore and it will help me to have a nice day every day. Your responses are never helpful or pleasant. Got no cure for misery.





I appreciate your concern for my reading comprehension abilities but I didn't miss your point. I just don't agree with it. There is a difference.
Again, yes it is. It is completely in the eye of the beholder. It doesn't matter if the beholder is "fucked" (which has no real meaning here BTW).
If you look at it and don't like it that's fine. If, OTOH, I look at it and like it then your reasons for not liking it, though they may make for interesting debate, are not really important to me or others who do like it.
It sounds like you are crusading here against bad tattoo artists and tattoo regret. I understand that this is an issue for some but buyers remorse has nothing to do with the ability of an individual to look at something and decide if they like it or not.




I don't like tats. Too many girls have them. While back in the early 90's it was sexy to see the occasional well done tat, now they are so common they've lost whatever edge they had. That being said, if a girl tickles my fancy, I'll just ignore them unless they are massive or are those stupid boob tats that look like paws or scratches or are on the legs (some on the legs are ignorable, but for some reason I really dislike 90% of leg or bicep/shoulder tats on women). There is the super-duper rare tat I like tho. Your's on your side is pretty as is sxcbbw's side tat. Maybe it's placement? Dunno why I like em.
As a dancer, I got a lot of dances from being the rare non-tatted dancer, but a friend of mine also got a lot of dances based on her tats...so I guess they are an advantage with some guys and disadvantage with others, like just about everything else.
