Tattooed dancers, or Tattoos in general

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?

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.
From a functional standpoint, there may be evidence that it can fuck with your sweat glands. https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-…
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.
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.

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
Except, maybe this one is ok

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 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 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.
Anything on her boobs, face or ass cheeks is as pointless as painting the Venus de Milo.
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.
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.

I love strip club customers who hate tattoos. Frees up more dancers for me.
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?
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 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!

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.
Either way, a sure sign of extras!
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.
