They say, "Anything over a mouthful is a waste".
For my tastes the grain is a bit too overwhelming of the image, but as a guy who likes and uses grain this is very subjective. I don't care for for the boarder. First I am not sure what it is or what is adds to the photo. Second, it cuts into the model's fingers and head and completely across the middle of the image on the bottom, not sure if that was intended. In the endless debate of tattoos vs no tats, I have my opinions but they don't factor into the critique of the merits of the photo, only upon my overall enjoyment of the images, which again is subjective and personal.
Yep. If a 25 year old gal gets a tasteful tattoo of a small concord
grape on her left breast, by the time she's 70 it will be an eggplant.

How about all you "NEGATIVE" people have some decency. All of us have our tastes. Just because someone is different from you doesn't give you the right to publicly abuse that person. An apology to her would be in order.

Thank goodness someone had the common sense to discuss the image! I totally agree that for my taste, the image is just too grainy and I wasn't wild about the composition either. Again, if the OP is happy with the image, all the better.
As far as the never ending comments about "tats" and how gorgeous/sexy/appealing/desirable/whatever the subject is, I wish people would stick to their insight into the photographic technique.

"Content" is one of the seven critique criteria.
Okay. I made that up. Seems like seven is a good number. (everyone lighten up and enjoy the exchange of thoughts)

Not a good choice, the original complainant was referring to the model having tattoos, saying she would look better without them in their opinion, to which they are entitled. To compare tattoos to graffiti is a different subject. Like it or lump it, well done graffiti is an art form of its own.
Yes, graffiti can be very artistic. But it not suitable everywhere. Graffiti on a bridge or passing railroad car - OK. Graffiti at Yosemite - inappropriate.
