    Default Would having tattoos and piercings diminish my appeal as a high-end escort?

    Hey girls!

    Thanks for all the advice you gave me in my last thread. I have another question.

    Since I generally have a punk/goth/glam style, and I plan to work as a fetish adult model and actress in addition to escorting, I'm probably going to get a lot of tattoos and piercings. Probably both my arms, breasts, lower back, hips, and pubic tats, and navel, cock, nipple, ears, lips, and nose piercings.

    Would that diminish my ability to work as a high-end escort?

    LOL, I'm beginning to see my transition as not only self-fulfillment, but as a financial investment. I wonder if I could deduct the cost of my hormones, laser hair removal, cosmetic surgery, hair extensions, make-up as business expenses. Or try to get my body insured in case of an accident that damages my ability to work (burns, trauma, etc.)...I know that's possible, as I know a Lloyds of London underwrote a policy for a famous pianist's hands.

    Fuck...I'm trying to figure out my body's monetary value...I AM NOT A HOUSE!

    It seems part of being high-end is about "fitting in" certain circles and having classic style makes that easier. There're wealthy people who don't toe the line and want something edgier but your market may be smaller or a little less obvious. Meeting clients in the entertainment and fashion biz may give you more leeway vs. meeting clients in finance, law or medicine.

    Check out Roxanne Dupri (www.roxannedupri.net). She's all tatted up, but still very feminine. Rates for her time start at 400/hr. I've yet to see 1000/hr high-end escorts not in the classic mold. Maybe you'll be the first? The beauty of this biz is, you can be pretty much be anything or anyone, and find your niche.

    Allure comes in many packages. Your tats/alt style can still work in your favor, just depends how you position yourself. If you don't have any tats yet, I'd still recommend that you keep them in places that're easy to cover, at least until you figure out your market, to give you flexibility.

    I have lots of tattoos. I keep the rest of me very simple, feminine and always dress NOT like a goth/punk or whatever. You should focus on actually looking like a lady first. All of the top TS providers are stunning.

    Well, there is TS Danni Daniels. I like her style, but I prefer long, classically-feminine hair

    Also, I do plan on looking feminine, obviously! And I plan on being a pro Dominatrix escort, so that kind of style does fit. I'm an edgy femme tgirl, not a butch one.

    I'd just have a bunch of photos up on my website, split between me dressed as an edgy goth chick, and dressed as an elegant woman, and say "which style would you prefer for our date?" If it's a BDSM session, I'll dress the former.

    ^That is a great idea with both style of pictures. Some ladies even have separate websites for domme and escort.

    Nope! So many ladies have tattoos out there who provide at a hight rate. Even though they disguise them in their photos for privacy, they still do very well. The key is pro photos that either accentuate how hot your tattoos are or hide them completely for privacy concerns. Make sure to note on your website that you do have tattoos in case the guy is not a fan of them. For me, I've noticed that quite a few guys love tattoos which worked against me since I have none. Probably 2 people ever have mentioned that they like how I had no tattoos. Tattoos are very popular amongst the guys IMO.

    There is no absolute rule BUT generally speaking a lot of tats limit your appeal. Some guys don't like tats at all. High rollers tend to be less tolerant of ink. I'm talking about $500 an hour and up. With some exceptions , the higher up the rate scale you go the less ink you are likely to find. Many high end ladies tout the fact that they are tattoo free. Why do you think they do that ?

    Don't take my word for it. Why don't you scan the ads on Eros and TER and see for yourself who does and doesn't have a lot of tats. Check out the higher end ladies. Look at their galleries on their web-sites and you will not see much ink. If any.

    It is obviously not the norm, but I can think of a few who are heavily tattooed and still do really well.
    This one (tattoos are photoshop out) has a two hours minimum at 800
    Krissa Star in Arizona is expensive and is REALLY heavily tattooed

    There are exceptions to everything. I was talking generally. Most clients for escorts tend to be older , at least middle class ( more likely upper middle ) and usually have at least some college. Thus, taken as a whole, they are not as tolerant of tats as other demographics might be.

    Many of my friends have tattoos but still by society standards they are for low class sluts. No matter how much many of you see it as an art form it is tacky.

    Like it or not tattoos are NOT for high end money men. It isn't sexy. Rarely are tattoos original works of art & the high end clients don't see it as art either. They prefer a girl with enough class not to have tattoos.

    This may seem harsh, but it is true. Yes, there are always exceptions to the rules, but can you be sure you will be one of them?

    If your body is going to be your business then that is exactly how you need to see it. If the majority of top end escorts dont have them then guess what? It isn't what's in demand. These guys want a Barbie doll, barbie didn't have tattoos.

    Good Luck,
    Sam

    Yes you can have all high end clients... trust me

    I wouldn't reference Barbie

    and for the curvy girls ... Barbie wanted to make a statement and I do believe this year she has changed the look

    Barbie herself is making the change due to the modern world.


    It is about how you carry yourself as woman.
    Yes, there are men that prefer traditional , there are a lot more that prefer exotic

    As said before I do believe jailhouse tats wont cut it but if you invest and have the right look, carry yourself in a lady manner You will do fine

    stay away from job killer tattoos
    Basically if you cant hide it , do not get it.
    Flaunting is whole diff story.


    I have knuckle tats removed (removed for personal , not gigs) .. those scare men .. I don't blame them. I kept one but keep covered with a poison ring.
    No hand tattoos..
    face.. sometimes yes, sometimes no ....( I don't recommend it) it can be covered with makeup but makeup stains are a big deal so..
    Same with piercings.. I do have those .. easily covered.


    Having tattoos removed is not fun and hella more expensive than the actual art.

    I have a ton.. but the average person can not tell if I am dressed "appropriately"

    I have come to this conclusion
    Remember the nerdy librarian no one wanted to fuck until she took her hair down and off w the glasses.. suddenly she was exotic fuck toy

    Same with tats... they become more sexy one on one. When the clothes come off the eyes get big.

    Everything is cyclical. What do you do if and when tats become passé ?

    I'll avoid the "are tats art " discussion and fall back on my usual : " to each his or her own."

    Can you have some high end clients even if you're all inked up ? Sure. Nobody said you couldn't. How many ? Willing to spend how much ? Those are the questions.
    The thing is that not having tattoos increases your chances of having high end clients and having them decrease your chances. They will have an effect.

    can i just ask this here since it kind of does apply to being completely different (physically) than top girls? I tried to search "other work" but couldn't find anything that really answered my inquiries.

    I am aware that being toned and having a fit physique is tantamount to success. I am curvy. Not BBW. Not as tight abs-wise as I'd like, but LUCKY ME, that's where any weight goes. That can be handled with a better workout routine...I tend to show results quickly, but yeah, ultimately, I will be curvy and will likely never get below 130 lbs.

    Point is: I know my skills otherwise would be fantastic for this, but I can't really find where a niche for "curvy" girls would be. Any thoughts and brutally honest responses are appreciated. For me, this is probably a bigger obstactle than my few, coverable tattooes.

    I would then assume it depends on how one markets herself.
    How many? There is a lot.
    How much? What is the rate... How much time is spent?
    Repeat clients? Most definitely
    A tattooed lady can have all high end customers.
    I don't do the tattoos are art discussion either bc truly to each it's own. (Like you said)
    There are women that simply do not carry it well ... Or simply just get shitty tattoos placed randomly. Kwim? All of us have seen them and go hmmmmm. Ya know?

    Geo location may also play a factor. Time of day/night can be a factor.
    I have only experienced not so high end after a certain time of night

    The one scary thing I hate about tattoos ( I'm loaded ) are the ads. I know some use bought photos.. I refuse.
    it's not me in the pic
    Pics and tats= scary IMO

    Maybe some of us get lucky? Carry ourself? Interact? So many things can play into this.

    Depends on the clothing

    Edit to say... My arms have very noticeable skin pigment issues. I use to be questioned "what's wrong with your arms?"
    I hated that question. Of course I didn't get tattoos to cover them for that reason but I was already covering myself to avoid the question.

    In my case "damn if you do, damn if you don't"

    Hope this makes sense... I'm on my phone.. Harder to read

    I say this because most of my dresses are backless or at least off shoulders so I wouldnt get one on my shoulders of arms. I can hide the one on my back as its just above my hips.

    ^^^ gorgeous BTW @Amy



    Unfortunately tattoos are not erasable...

    IMHO... OP if you have the slightest inkling it will do more harm than good... go with your gut feeling.
    I would not do anything that would damage it... this is your livelihood

    Also to add... you can have your body, parts of it insured. I know all to well about the hands policy.

    Let's not go overboard. One little cutesie and discreet tattoo would have little to no effect on earnings. Ankle, foot and lower back are the best locations. Keep them off your hands, arms,wrists, neck and upper back -shoulder area. I THOUGHT we were talking about serious multiple inkings like using the entire back as a canvas ;torso and abs, thighs, "sleeves" and worst of all, the face.
    These days it's apples and oranges. One little tat would be very unlikely to be a negative.

    Well, my 2 cents…

    I am somewhat heavily tattooed (hands, fingers, arms, torso), and I am in the high-end part of the spectrum at $600/hr and raising to $700/hr soon. I am established, I have a 9.5 rating on TER (that I'm quite proud of), I don't advertise aside from my reviews and website, and I'm thankful for my nice group of regulars and the referrals that come my way.

    I dress very well and stylish, I carry myself with elegance and class, I have impeccable manners, I work out and diet like crazy, and I genuinely love what I do -- all of those factors, I believe, make my clients forget that I even have tattoos. When I meet clients, some love the art, some hate it (but like it on me, or so they say), some don't care, and some barely notice.

    I used to cover my tattoos with makeup/photoshop in my photos, and I would mention on my website that I have them. Now I just show them because it's really just a pain in the ass to cover all of them and not look photoshopped to death. It has not hurt my business at all, but maybe I'm lucky.

    My opinion is if you take care of yourself and carry yourself like a high-end girl, you can do whatever you want.

    With that said… personally, I hate tattoos (now), and I completely advise against them. :p
