Sorry, no nude pics! LoL
I've been pretty surprised at how many have expressed a strong dislike of tattoos on women. Is that all women or just models?
Personally I think tattoos look beautiful, especially on a beautiful woman. But like all art, there is art that we like and art that we don't.
What's been implied by some is that it doesn't matter the tattoos, that they are not acceptable at all by some. That a woman must be inherently stupid to get a tattoo. My doctor is a womon and has a few tattoos(at least that I can see).
One of my goals is to start shooting Suicide Girls, simply because I love the look! One of my favorite Models is Leah Jung, and would love to shoot her some day!
So what is it that you don't like, or DO like about tattoos on models or women in general. What about on men?
Feel free to post some examples either way.
It's a brave new world out there.

I am a person that likes tattoos on women probably for a different reason than most. I'm a guy. I don't understand women. LOL Most of them may as well speak a different language.

However I believe that most people in general put a great deal of thought into their tats. I can learn a great deal about the opposite sex by looking at their artwork in a matter of minutes. From the kind of art to the location on the body.
A tat on a woman's lower back means something different than one on her shoulder or ankle. Does she like animals? Does she miss a deceased loved one? Does she have a wild side? Maybe she is proud of her children. I can't talk to women. Yet I can learn so much from her dress, makeup, and her tats. Her personality can come through loud and clear in a photograph.

I think that they add to the story in the picture and give you a sense of the subjects personality.

Personally I have no tats and have no intentions of getting one. But I like looking at good artwork on people.

If a girl wants to do high end fashion modeling, 99% of ALL models are already weeded out because the are NOT 5'-10" tall. WRONG. MANY ARE 5'8" OR EVEN SHORTER.

And 99% of the 5-10 girls are weeded out because they are not size 2! WRONG AGAIN.

Then 99% of those are weeded out because they're UGLY!! LoL
So every one else can have anything they want on their bodies because they Will NEVER do any commercial modeling. DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT HIGH FASHION IS? OR COMMERCIAL MODELING?

The Promo sector hires tons of alternatve models and they can have lots of tats because the are fully clothed. WRONG AGAIN. MUCH PROMO IS SWIMWEAR OR MINIMAL CLOTHING. AND MOST PROMO HIRING PREFERS NO VISIBLE TATTOOS.

And conventions like Hempcon(and hundreds like it) hire hundreds of models and they prefer they be alternative. HEMPCON IS A MICROSCOPIC PART OF THE CONVENTION/TRADE SHOW BUSINESS.

And for art modeling as we see here, it's completely up to what the photographer wants to shoot. MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS PREFER INTACT SKIN.

I prefer to shoot both as they make different style shots.

It's all about preference in what you like to shoot and what you like to look at!!! I ADDRESSED THE WELL-DOCUMENTED FACT THAT TATTOOS CUT DOWN MODELING OPPORTUNITIES. AMONG YOUR MANY CONFUSED COMMENTS YOU ALSO IGNORED FINE ART NUDES AND (IN THE MOVIE/TV BUSINESS) THE LUCRATIVE BODY DOUBLING FIELD.

A GIRL IS FREE TO MAKE HER OWN CHOICES. BUT IT IS UNFAIR TO LIE AND TELL HER THAT GETTING INKED WILL NOT LIMIT HER OPPORTUNITIES.

TRIVIA; I KNOW SEVERAL GIRLS WHO WERE TURNED DOWN FOR THE PLAYBOY CENTERFOLD ONLY BECAUSE OF TATTS.
