Tattooed dancers, or Tattoos in general

I'm sure this has come up a few times, but I just wrote about it in my last few reviews, and then a review in my feed brought it up in the context of what's the big deal? So since it seems to be of interest... I get that this has changed in today's culture. When I was young tattoos were for Sailors and Marines (but not officers), or for what we'll call "working class" men. Mostly those who made their living with manual labor. For women they were almost unheard of. That's no longer the case, and I get that. What I don't get is why people seem to consider them universally appealing, or at least think they shouldn't be seen as symptomatic, or perhaps less pejorative, indicative in any way. So, while I certainly wouldn't say that a tattoo defines a person, it does inform me as to some aspects of their world-view and judgement. All that is well and good for the population at large, now let's talk about strippers. So, at least theoretically people who make their living at least in part from their physical appeal go to great lengths to maintain and enhance that appeal. From Hollywood stars of both sexes to supermodels the diet, workout and beauty regimen's are legendary, often employing full time professionals to help them maintain the discipline to keep them going. Cosmetic surgery is also widespread to help maintain or enhance physical appeal. Then we have strippers. Maybe more accurately strippers and pornstars. I don't know if they even think that the ink has a downside. They must be aware at some level as I don't think porn fans are shy about advising pornstars on their looks. Maybe less so for strippers, but still... But still, so many get tattooed to such a degree given that they are trying to make money from the mass appeal of their looks that I just plain don't understand. Maybe it's a response to take back ownership of their bodies at some level? I just thought I'd open up the discussion. Anyone have any opinions?

    A girl under the age of 30, it's almost unusual for her NOT to have tattoos now. It's just accepted practice for your people now. I don't like it at all. I love beautiful flawless skin. But if I demanded my stripper had no tattoos these days, I might be sitting alone a lot. As long as they aren't totally covered by them, I can get over it. Some are kinda cute. Although I would prefer to see none.

    I really don't mind it all and never have unless it's just some stupid ass face tattoo. I did date one girl that had a fugly tatoo of her daughter on her arm. It was lol worthy, and she certainly wasn't the brightest girl but she was hot as fuck. Overall I think It could look good, you just lose me when you start telling me about the "deeper meaning" of them. What a joke that is. From a functional standpoint, there may be evidence that it can fuck with your sweat glands. [view link] For myself I don't have any or ever plan to get any. I regret decisions from last week, so I'm not going out and drawing on myself permanently anytime soon. And some don't hold up well, remember the thorn around the bicep one? Now it's considered like a douche marker.

    One of my favorite pornstars that has them is Anna Belle Peaks. I'm totally into that look. [view link] [view link]

    And yeah it might be generational. Let's put it this way, I never took points off a stripper for a tattoos yet that I can recall. While some have that rocker/punk chick look that I'm always down for.

    Maybe in the late 70's or early 80's it started to become more and more common for young women to get tattoos. In our Vietnamese Coffee Shops it is universal. Many wear skimpy stuff just to show off their tattoos. Some are even full back. Generally they are not the same sort of mono-color tattoos which we would have associated with sailors.

    Can’t say I’m a fan of tattoos on women but they are very common nowadays some of them are tasteful enough to overlook but if I had my preference I’d just as soon that practice went away.

    I like tattoos. But what's important is the meaning and reason for it. I hate when girls get tattoos coz they're bored or just want one coz it's trendy coz some famous instathot has the same one. I also hate those stupid chest tattoos used to hide bad breast lift scars

    I don't have strong feelings about tats either way. Piercings bother me more, but I've gotten use to them. At some point, it gets to be like being bummed when it rains in the daytime, cause you wish it would only rain at night. The core question is, if you're going to dance, why not maximize the $ you get? Many dancers won't do the most basic thing, letting repeat customers know when/where you will be working. Most conveniently done with a social media account, which can be anonymous with a pseudonym and an avatar. But tats and other aspects of personal appearance are important to feeling authentic to many people. So even dancers who are serious about banking will not see their personal appearance as a marketing decision for stripping.

    I still haven’t gotten used to most piercings. I know I’m a grumpy old man, but I won’t accept a dance from a girl with nipple piercings. Or any facial piercings except perhaps a tiny nose ring.

    I don't like nipple piercings because to me they suggest susseptibility to serious injury. SJG TJ Street [view link] [view link]

    "Tramp stamps are hot, I'll die on that hill." I won't fight you on that one. A girl with just a tramp stamp is about the best you can hope for now days. There was however the unfortunate and thankfully short period where tramp stamps (which had not yet earned that sobriquet) were fashionable among some men. I guess it was about getting in touch with their spirit animal or something...

    I don't like too many facial piercings. Belly button piercings and nipple piercings look good but are bad for dancers coz they get caught on customers or end up pulled on by them and its painful.

    I'm not a big fan of Tats and piercings either but they are no longer a deal breaker for me. As stated previously, they are so prevalent now that you would be lonely at a strip club if you won't get a dance from a stripper with either. I do have to say, if you haven't had a blowjob from a girl with a pierced tongue, it's something worth experiencing once in your lifetime.

    I have never turned down an attractive dancer with tats but I have turned them down for piercings. Unfortunately you can't always tell about piercings until they get nude. Then I usually stop them after 1 song.

    Less is more IMO. The saving grace in the strip club is low lighting. Anything on her boobs, face or ass cheeks is as pointless as painting the Venus de Milo.

    I enjoy women with tattoos, and I think some women look better because of their body art. I’m in my late 50’s, so I understand the point made by the OP regarding who had tattoos back in the old days. Strippers with tattoos can be very sexy. But, some stuff can be a turn off. If someone is super political and they cover themselves with political ink - that can be a turn off. I like hearing about the meaning behind certain tattoos - and I can listen to those stories for hours. If a dancer says “I got this tattoo one night when I was drunk and I made a bad choice.” That’s when I ask if I can buy her a drink.

    This has been talked about so often that probably 90% of the people in this thread know exactly what I'm going to say. Not only do I not mind tattoos, I actually think tattoos are pretty hot if it's quality work and matches the dancer's look and/or personality. I'm also likely more tolerant of piercings than most guys in here, but I'm not a fan of women who look like they fell face first into a fisherman's lure and tackle box. I have avoided dancers with incredibly bad tattoos, but to be honest I rarely see truly shitty tattoos on women that I'd find attractive even if they had zero tattoos. I have no problem overlooking mediocre tattoo work on otherwise sexy dancers. There was a smoking hot, heavily tattooed dancer that I asked to sit with me years ago at the Cadillac Lounge. Once I sat down with her and got a look at her tattoos (all done by a talented artist), I noticed that she had several tattoos that are popular within the white supremacy culture. She was both baffled and angry when I had one drink with her and then said that I wanted to talk to other dancers. It's possible that I've given money to other non-tattooed dancers who were equally or even more racist and I just didn't know it. But if you're going to advertise yourself as a Nazi (or Nazi adjacent...), then I'm not giving you my cash. It's tough for me to be against dancers with tattoos. I have many myself. Also ...

    Nothing says white trash to me more than mish-mosh of unrelated tats scattered over a dancers body.
  • ilbbaicnl

    How can you tell if the tats are unrelated? I'd say 90+% of the time, tats that seem unrelated are related simply because they together tell you a lot about the person who has them.

    I don’t have tattoos. But I like the trend where club managements have over time become less stringent—and allow dancers to work without requiring dermablend to cover it up.

    I saw a dancer pre-covid that had heart shaped nipples. I don't know if it was a surgical procedure or tattoos, but it was unappealing to me so I never got close enough to check it out. I don't mind tattoos, but I appreciate well thought out and executed designs. I much prefer a cohesive sleeve or even full back piece to the here a tat there a tat mish mosh of flash tattoos.

    I spend zero time thinking about tattoos. I look through them at the body and face. If a dancer wants to talk about her tattoos and what they mean I’m genuinely interested but they mean zippy to me in terms of whether she’s hot or not.

    “Tramp stamp” - yep we are showing our age. I don’t like tattoos either but I’m okay with tramp stamps. Makes sense because when I was in college they were popular and only the trashy and usually hot girls were the only ones that had them. It was like a tell “oh that girl has a tramp stamp, she’ll probably go gone with you after just one pitcher of beer.” Yes that’s stereotyping but we all do it. Today that’s the last place a younger female would get a tattoo. They seem to want to show their tattoos off now even when fully clothed. Wonder how many 40 something women today regret getting that Pam Anderson barbed wire arm band tattoo that was popular for 3 weeks in the 90s?

    Regardless of what it is, I'd rather see a dancers tattoo than have some weird clay-like shit that's covering it rubbed into my clothes.

    One of the myths about tattooed people, mostly put forth by people without tattoos, is that almost everyone who gets tattooed regrets it by [X] age. That does sometimes happen to people who got that one (and only one) stupid tattoo in their teens or 20s, but in those instances what I usually see people do is get a cover-up tattoo that is better (and usually larger). Alternately, tattoo removal has come a long way both in terms of effectiveness and expense (though it's still not cheap). So, this belief that tattoos are forever is really only something that older people continue to believe. But, what happens more often than cover-ups or removals is that people look at it as a bookmark to a time in their life. Whether it's someone with one or many tattoos, they'll very often call out their first shitty tattoo with some mix of pride, humor, and nostalgia. The other old canard is some version of "You'll regret that tattoo when you're [INSERT AGE OVER 50] and it looks like shit." Well, that can also be true, but it doesn't have to be. If you spend lots of time in the sun and do other bad things for your skin, then your tattoos will fade and blur faster. If you take care of your tattoos, then the fading will be slowed by orders of magnitude. I have fine line tattoos that are well over a decade old, and tattoo artists have commented that they look barely 1 to 2 years old. Like so many things, if you take care of the things you invest in, then they will last longer and look better. If you don't, then they fall apart. I'll also point out that, at some point in the aging process, everything on your body looks like shit. So, the tattoos matter less and less as time goes on.

    I personally don’t like tats on anyone! Back in my younger days I would not go through a checkout line if the person at the register had tats. I am over that now but still not a fan of them. I have often wondered how much it would cost to have a chick put my name on them? ( not that I really want that but what is her price to ink up) I am thankful that my wife has none. I have met a few girls without any…….. I always ask them to prove it………… They usually name a price to find out. I have yet paid the price!

    I prefer dancers with no tattoos, but it’s not a deal breaker. I will think twice before getting a dance from a girl with pierced nipples, I don’t like sucking on paper clips. Sometimes it is fun to get a dance with an over the top tatted girl, just to mix things up. Then there is this local girl: [view link] …I see her and think wtf

    Truly despise tattoos, but if others like them, then go for it. Wife has 2, Mom has 3, I won't even wear a watch or wedding band, let alone mar myself.

    I'll repeat my prior posts: THW (Typical Hot Women) getting tats is like a Ferrari owner defacing his car with bumper stickers. That said, I also recognize that I'll be awful lonely in clubs if I rigorously adhere to my no ink preference. Still, less ink is better, IMO.

    Always been my experience that if a stripper has a tramp stamp I’m gonna have a good time. Not a fan of that underboob tat that every Gen Z thot is getting, I didn’t even realize it was for covering up boob job scars, I thought it was just the new trend. One of my all time top 5 lap dances was a chick with full body tats. Arms and back totally covered. She said it was tough to find any club that would hire her.

    @8TM, this is my experience too wrt tramp stamps. The way I imagine it, this is a girl who was in her 20's in the 90's and wanted to call attention to her ass / ass crack. Since she's a stripper now, that means she's been stripping for 25+ years and any inhibitions she once had are long since eroded away. Also, in Seattle this seems to correlate with girls who used to dance at Rick's in the heyday. Either way, a sure sign of extras!

    Me being a middle-aged conservative-guy I’ve never been into tattoos – as the OP, when I was growing-up tattoos were often associated w/ lower-class and/or criminal-element – in general they just don’t appeal to me – I think the majority of people get them mainly to draw attention to themselves, or b/c tats have traditionally been considered some kinda rebellious thing per se and it seems some people get-off on being rebellious and think it’s cool to not follow the rules/norms – I think most people that get them are just followers; I see people that purposely lift one shirt-sleeve over their shoulder to purposely show-off their tat and attract attention to themselves, or raise a pant-leg to do the same; etc – if wearing a diaper on your head became the new "cool thing" and/or some kinda rebellious symbol, the same people would be wearing a diaper on their head instead – I accept those that are genuinely into the art and would be into it even if it wasn’t “the in thing to do” – but I think those that are genuinely into the art are more of the minority and I think the majority is just people that like attention or like to come across as being “bad/rebellious”.

    w.r.t. dancers – as many on the board, I tend to mostly tolerate tats vs enjoy them per se – as most, it’s rare that I won’t get dances from a dancer I find attractive b/c of the tats, but I rarely would get dances from a dancer b/c of her tats. In part tats on strippers bother me less than on civilians b/c I see strippers as already doing something anti-establishment per se; so in my-mind they kinda go hand-in-hand – and w/ time I’ve come to like *some* tats like a tramp-stamp or a small(ish) tat on one-boob or high on one butt-cheek, etc, b/c they make the dancer seem naughtier or more of a “bad girl” per se and I go to the club looking for naughty/”bad girls” vs “good girls”. But there are stripper tats that are still a turn-off for me like tats on the stomach; nipples; back of the neck; forearms; balk of calves; etc; these to me come across to me as more low-class/”gangsta” vs sexy/”naughty”. So I dislike tats in general and would not like them on a woman I was dating; but find some of them sexy on strippers and the tats I don't find sexy I just focus on the other parts I like about her.

    Yeah, tattoos (and piercings) are perfectly OK by me as well. Especially with regard to piercings, I've noticed a correlation between these and girls who like a little pain and abuse along with their sex. So, yeah, bring 'em on.
