Tattoos
duomaxwell
So, I'm sitting here waiting to get tattooed and I'm wondering... Do tattoos on dancers matter? I'm not "heavily" tattooed, but I do have the beginnings of a sleeve, a thigh piece, a foot piece, the back of a calf and behind my ear (although no one can really see that). Nothing on my torso and for the most part they're all flash from good artists. So what are your opinions? Yes tattoos? No tattoos? Only if they're good tattoos?

Not a dealbreaker. My ATF has a few including the dreaded tramp stamp, but she has some overriding attributes.
I WILL NOT dance with heavily inked dancers no matter how hot they are.
YES they do! I do not find tattoos on either gender to be attractive in any way. On a woman they are a major turn off.
"I WILL NOT dance with heavily inked dancers no matter how hot they are"
I agree 300%!!
Duo....I've seen your tats and they aren't too excessive. Do you get yours done at Lucky 13?
They DO NOT in my opinion. They SPOIL her looks.
They AREN'T a good thing IMO.
Of all my four current faqves only one of them has tats. Those are just two tiny ones, barely noticeable.
Remember Variety is the spice of life.
Right on Club_Goer.
Anyway, I love fake tits, and, as with anything, a really hot girl can pull anything off. And ugly girls with tattoos still looks ugly. And a super hot girl with tattoos can look even hotter.
Personally, when I see a hot, nasty hood rat in a black club with lots of tats, it's game on!!! It just enhances the nastiness.
Tattoos are like an exclamation point on the girl. If she's super hot, the tattoo says "DAMN YEAH I'M HOT !!!". And if she's a fat, pale slob, the tattoo says "Yeah, I'm ugly white trash who hates myself and does tattoos to show how low class I am".
*Some* tats on dancers I do find kind of sexy though – a thigh tat or a small one on the boob does turn me on a bit – makes them come across as a bad girl.
I am more turned off the larger the tat – I’ve seen some girls with tats on their forearms and it makes them look like gang bangers IMO.
I will normally tolerate tats on dancers and they are not a deal breaker unless they are really excessive.
I have turned down dancers b/c I was turned off by their excessive tattoos – and I have never gotten dances from a dancer b/c of her tattoos.
If I had to choose – I prefer my dancers w/ no tats.
@ Papi- Answer my goddamn PM
I prefer no tats. A dancer being tatted is not a deal breaker, just like having a boob job, being overweight, small boobs, skinny, etc aren't automatic d/q's. But, all else being equal (or nearly so), I'll pick a lighter tatted over a more heavily tatted dancer.

On civilians they're pretty much a deal breaker unless they're hidden.
"you’re kidding right – please post a happy face or an LOL to let us know you are being sarcastic"
So you wish to be a female version of "The Illustrated Man". Hmm...!!
PLEASE tell me you're joking!
Ah the endless conceit of youth. ;)
While tattoos Usually won't stop me from getting a dance, it could if I was turned off enough by them. Saying people talk about them might be true, kind of like everyone talking about a car crash. I suppose if you wanted to cover up an actual scar, you could with a tattoo. The only scar I have is not very visible at all.
And in recent years tattoos have exploded into a very popular thing that "everyone" does, so maybe younger guys look at them as not quite as bad.
IMO these people are either misinformed or self-deluded about the how tattoos impact their looks in the eyes of many people.
I think its fair to say that most if not all people who get tats don't care what others think. That's kind of the point- self expression that is done for themselves, not others.
@alucard - the endless conceit of everyone ever, you mean.
Nope. :) ;)
I do mean the endless conceit of youth!
It depends on three things.
First, the customer. For some guys anything more than a rose or teddy bear on the ankle (or carefully concealed elsewhere) is a deal-breaker. For others, it may be a question not so much of quantity as quality. I'd definitely consider a dancer with many "artistic tattoos" over one with just a few that looked like prison or gang tats or which were poorly inked.
Second, the dancer. More than once I've encountered a dancer who began a conversation with 1) What do you think of my tats? I hate them! or 2) What do you think of my tats? I love them! I am not sure how to respond to either -- but the point is that the dancers attitude toward her own body (not just the parts she can alter, of course, but in this context her body art) makes a huge difference. If you truly love your tats, it will show in how you display them -- even use them -- on stage. That's gonna make me like them more.
Third, the atmosphere of the club. I've been in clubs were if you did not like tats and lots of them, you were SOL, and likewise there are still a few clubs where when you see more than a few tats on one dancer, you think "Geez, how did she get in the rotation?" In other words, my reaction to body art may be driven by what alternatives I may have.
(And a fourth factor in my case - - - how horny I am).
@jacksonesskay - no kidding. I wonder, though... If it came down to unattractive without tattoos or smoking hot with tattoos who would the anti-tattoo people choose (and 'neither' isn't an answer in this hypothetical situation).
I think Billy Crystal said it best in When Harry Met Sally"
Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Both :-) No,the smoking hottie fore sure (so long as smoking does mean that she is taking drags on her Camel all during the dance)
As Jackson and probably others have pointed out, some tats are worse that others deepening on what the tat depicts. (Just as some types of piercings weird me out more than others.)
I'm also starting to like implants too as long as they don't have that vacuum seal plastic blag look that some girls end up with.
I was going to put my initials on my penis but there wasn’t enough room – so I abandoned the idea.
Okay, let me see if I can figure out the point you were trying to make...
A guy can't be friends with a dancer he thinks is attractive and is wearing tattoos....
No, wait...
A guy can't be friends with any girl, even if she's wearing tattoos...
No, wait...
A dancer with tattoos might be attractive, but it doesn't matter cuz the guy won't be her friend....
Okay, I give up...what the fuck are you talking about??
Do you feel the need to prove to people that you're not just some dumb stripper but in fact you're really smart? I've noticed that happens a lot here, a dancer will visit and they generally seem to be trying to act smart and stuff.
Now I'm not saying you're not a very smart and great girl, I just don't think you need to prove anything to us. Just be yourself.
Unless throwing out obscure references in every sentence to show how well read (or whatever) you are is who you are, then never mind...
You can just google for it if you aren't familiar with something someone mentions.
Thanks for the Google lesson. Of course, that is totally irrelevant to the question I asked. But I do appreciate the input.
If I'm wrong, then just say I'm wrong. Apparently all you supporters feel the need to come to your aid, and I'll probably never get an honest answer, so maybe I'll just drop it.
"A Venn diagram showing the relation between stripper shit and reality"
And there's a ton of stuff like that. It just seems a bit, well, pretentious, don't you think? Maybe not. And making references to Bas Jan Ader references while saying you don't make obscure references?
Okay, we're duly impressed, if that's important to you.
On another note, American Apparel? Really?
I feel there also some misogyny that extends even beyond what could be account for based in his bleak outlook on things in general. In fact, won't be surprised if the former is a big contributor to the latter.
Okay, jester214, are you a girl? Because I guarantee that 99% of (straight) men have no clue what American Apparel is, or what duo's reference meant.
Perhaps this is the first signs of a scuffle in a fashion cat-fight ??
"American Apparel ??? OH NO YOU DI'NT !!!!!"
Skinny vs Fat
Black vs White
Blonde vs Brunette
Etc etc...We are free to choose the dancer we want.
The problem is, with very, very few exceptions, we customers no longer have a choice with regard to tattoos. Every damn stripper has one. It's just a matter of finding one thst is the least offensive.
In my opinion (yes I actually spelled that out - gasp!) it is neither good nor bad, it just is. Various folks of either gender will align with it (find it attractive or be neutral to it) or not but don't delude yourself into thinking that it is not impactful cause it is. Personally I find tats interesting and attractive in certain respects but then again I grew up in a culture where ink was very common and served multiple purposes including the overt advertisement of membership and sometimes even ownership (think I belong to him). So even though I'm one of the so called "old farts" in the TUSCL-verse that seem to be somewhat reviled of late I get it. I get the appeal of self mutilation in its multiple variations.
I also think that @motor is right regarding the reality's of ink on dancers in clubs today. We may have the choice of body type, hair color, youthfulness, ethnicity, etc but it has been a long, long time since I encountered a dancer without ink. Not a good thing or a necessarily a bad thing just a truthful observation.
So I say "to thine own self be true" @ Duo and the same to my fellow SC brothers.
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her"
I'm just say'n...
I wouldn't put bumper stickers on a Ferrari.
I think women's bodies are spectacular just as they are. Tattoos break up the flow and wholeness of the beauty. I love the long unbroken expanse of a woman's back as she gyrates reverse cowgirl in my lap. The sensuous curve of her thighs, hips, and abdomen is mesmerizing. Undulating stomach muscles that flow down to her smooth pubis is the stuff of dreams.
A tattoo is like a billboard posted on the Grand Canyon - it steals the eye and interrupts the integrity of your natural beauty. My advice - stop now and arrange to remove what you already have. Your skin and your customers will thank you.
@duomaxwell: "Arbeit Macht Frei" -- please, not even in jest.
On the other hand, there are a couple of rather unattractive dancers at the same club that their ink adds insult to injury. One has a gig sun or something on her stomach around her navel and I am not talking about flat abs either. The artist did not need to put any effort into the 3D look.. Another dancer(that shouldn't be dancing, might be owner wife?) has road signs on her, like a caution sign over her ass and a stop and yield signs on the backs of her thighs. Very unattractive IMHO. I don't care for the back of the thigh tats, even on a hoty.
If you've ever walked through a major mall you should have heard of American Apparel. I'm not surprised though, we can't expect much more from you than a gay joke.
I know & have known many women in their mid to late 30's and OLDER who are VERY beautiful women.
The point of the discussion here is the impact of tattoos on a woman's appearance in the eyes of the tattooed woman and those men/women who are making a decision about the attractiveness of the tattooed woman.
I prefer NO tattoos as I think they decrease a woman's attractiveness.
"So even though I'm one of the so called "old farts" in the TUSCL-verse that seem to be somewhat reviled of late"
Again the CONCEIT of youth and their perceived Superiority. Time will teach them. LOL
LOL – couldn’t have put it better myself
There's absolutely stores in major malls. I've seen two of them, in PA and in Charlotte. I know they're at the big outlet in Vegas.
If you look at there website it says they have one in Richmond.
Love your pics btw – fell free to post as many as you’d like – yum yum give me some!
@papi_chulo - Old pic, but I think I'm going to go back to being a brunette.
Not the first time this has been asked.
"Haha! Jestie and jerikoffson hate each other. Gonna be a clash of the passive-aggressive titans!"
LOL
"I know & have known many women in their mid to late 30's and OLDER who are VERY beautiful women."
You never REALLY know strippers...
"@alucard - it was a joke concerning how a lot of people like the barely legal set, I think we just misunderstood each other."
You should've just ignored him. When he's being ignored he has nothing, and you get posts like his 2nd-8th post where he was desperately trying to get someone to acknowledge him.
Not at all. At least I don't hate him/her. I don't even know him/her. I just asked if he/she was male/female.
On the other hand Staxwell, I think you may actually be a complete fucking moron. Which doesn't mean I dislike you or hate you, just classifying you based on some of the insane shit you post. And if that photo of you in your posts is really you, then there's no question you're a complete fucking moron. No reason to hate you though.
I agree.
As opposed to me posting under all of my other lame aliases, which is just sad and stupid. But that doesn't stop me!
Seems like tats are a bit of a touchy subject gathering from all the responses
It is a matter of personal taste Papi. It will be interesting to see how these women feel about these tattoos when they are 50, 60 or 70 yrs old. I'll bet there is a different POV. Time will teach the needed lessons.
I love it when people think they KNOW ABSOLUTELY everything about everything. Time will deal with them too.

My favorites are "I don't care what it looks like when I am eighty," and "I do it for the dirty looks."
If your body is showing the ravages of time, I agree with you.
As to the question, my preference is no tats, but light tats is not a deal breaker. Heavy tats I've seen, and I probably would call them a deal breaker, although I can't say for certain. If my dream girl in every way (sans the tats) walked up to me and was heavily tatted, I'd have to seriouslt reconsider my position.
Bravo!!!
Duh. I don't *have* to read your mind.
As for why I care, who says I do?
It is you VILE creatures who do all the HATING!
Why don't you tattoo my name on yourself. Then you can always remember me. LMAO!
"Asshat" coming from a guy who spells all the words in the subject of PMs with the same character. "Asshat" coming from a guy whose invective and vitriol rivals that of the most rabid terrorists. "Asshat" coming from a guy too chicken shit to spell out "asshat".
As for a tattoo, if I was going to get one, it would have more artistic value than your name. Like say, a picture of a steaming turd with flies buzzing around it.
Oh, and I didn't finish reading your last email; the first line was enough to make me puke.
