    Lightbulb Ugly tattoo--will this hinder my $$$ making??

    I got this very unprofessional tattoo last summer while really drunk, as you can see it's pretty big/obvious; do you think this will affect my $$$? Should I at least get it filled in before I go into the club? (There's a thin line that isn't colored in for some reason, though the color's pretty faded now) Thanks and please excuse the clothes on the floor!

    Eh, a tattoo is a tattoo. Some customers won't want anything to do with you regardless of the quality of your tattoo. Since it doesn't seem to large, I'd recommend keeping it covered while on the floor so it's a "surprise" once you get in the back for dances. If you don't plan on erring it removed or cover up, go ahead and fill it in, but don't let that be the reason you put off going to the club. Believe me, there are FAR worse tattoos in there!

    I agree with shanna dior - I don't think it's that big of a deal as long as there are other dancers at that have tattoos at that club.
    Be aware going into it though, there will be TONS of custies who will ask you what it means, why you got it, etc. If you tell them it doesn't have some special meaning and you just liked it, most of them won't believe you. "If you don't want to tell me, fine... *hurt look*". You might be better off coming up with a canned response to answer the question and change the subject. It gets really annoying after a while.

    It is definitely not the worst tattoo in a strip club lol! And yes some customers hate tattoos but in my experience, a lot of them don't care about smaller tattoos here and there, they just aren't into the "heavily tattooed" types. I don't really think you have anything to worry about. However, Natallia is right! You are going to get asked by just about everyone what it means....why you got it....suggestions as to what THEY think it means... It is gonna get really old, so I agree to come up with a short, canned response as to the meaning of the tattoo. I literally have 2 lines on my arm and I get people telling ME what MY tattoo is supposed to mean every. day! EVen if I tell them it has no meaning and I got it cause I was bored one day, they will tell me it means a myriad of bullshit things lol just be prepared for some of the stupidity you are about to encounter!

    No one will care... The guys that don't like tats still don't like the good ones.

    You're being too hard on yourself! It's not that big, obvious, and ugly. First, it looks relatively small. Second, it seems to be in a fairly inconspicuous area. It's probably hidden fairly well when your arms are down. It's not like it's in the middle of your forehead. Finally, I've seen some terrrrrrible tattoos and yours isn't that bad!

    I have a small tattoo that I don't particularly care for. It's totally out-of-character for me (I love tatt'ed girls, it's just not my style). Guys rarely notice or care, if they do comment on it, I just make a joke about how lame it is and we share a laugh over my stupidity. They still get the lap dance...

    I doubt it will hinder your money at all.

    Thanks for the idea to expose it in back for dances, totally doing it. Gives me something else to do back there!!

    Best of luck to you! Just go and audition! Don't worry about how well you dance...you will pick it up as you go along. Remember that everybody started somewhere and every dancer there was an awkward newbie at some point. My audition was so bad that I was told by a customer that I reminded him of Jamie Lee Curtis's striptease in True Lies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB9MY...&feature=fvst) ...SOOO BAD LMAO!! but I was still hired and I eventually got better at dancing haha
    If you are put-together and confident, you will most likely get hired! What are you waiting for...Go start making some serious cash!

    god, I hate scratch artists that don't respect their craft enough to not fucking tattoo drunk people!! I mean, seriously, that tattoo artist's name is forever connected to that tattoo. Doesn't he care enough to not have it connected to a drunken story? SMH. I don't get it.

    it's not that bad but I would consider getting it covered by an artist who knows what they're doing and who has a GOOD reputation for coverups and a GOOD reputation for you know, not taking advantage of a drunk girl's wallet.

    OMGOSH, DEFINITELY getting it changed into something completely different now. It totally looks like the gatorade symbol, same color and everything !!!! Thankfully no one's made the connection, but I try to explain that it's a shitty tribute to David Bowie's Aladdin Sane before people can comment on how stupid looking it is.

    I think it looks fine. If anything you can use it as a conversation piece. I have two stick-n-pokes that I did myself and they're junky as hell but I love them. I've seen girls with /horrible/ tattoos who made good money. It's confidence more than anything.

    Another vouch for, its not as bad as you think and I cant say much for how it will affect you in the club, but I have seen truly bad tattoos and yours is not.

    ..its not Marvin the Martian or a pissing Calvin...my two least favorite tats in the whole wide world! lol
