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.

It takes everything away from a beautiful body, just like fake boobs.

Body's can be art and if a tat is the image that someone wants to project, gay gezunt. What I have a problem with tats in general is what they look like 20 years on.

Tattoos seem to be the thing now and probably the "inking" of many sports stars has a lot to do with it. What somebody does to their own skin is their business but I wonder how seriously heavily tattooed people think about what they will look like in the years to come. I saw and elderly guy the other day whose arm looked like blue vein cheese! I don't know what the original image was but age and tattoos don't go and a substantial amount of body art on any individual will invariably (and eventually) look like some sort of skin disease as the owner ages. And that's frigging ugly!

I'm with you Bill I like them if tastefully done. My daughter and all her friends have many many tats as do i and many of my friends. I told Shannon (my daughter just remember what you mark your body with you meet GOD with.) All hers are beautiful works of art.

I might be old fashioned but I never did like tats even when I was young. Maybe I am to old at eighty to change my views. I have seen some good poses and beautiful models on this sight that was unattractive with body art. A women's body if a piece of art if properly posed and lighted with out some thing to distract the eye and compete with subject for the attention. Plus as has be pointed out as our bodies age the tats are less attractive. Also for some there is a religious connection.

To each their own. Whatever floats their boat...
Personally, I don't care for tattoos, don't have any, never will, but that's my personal choice.
More often than not, especially on younger females, tattoos are chosen when the person is in an inebriated state, not exactly thinking as rationally as they could. I know this isn't always the case.
Most "tramp stamps" are a young woman's attempt at expressing individuality, by doing the same thing as her peers. Never made sense to me. In my youth I traveled a lot and frequented many strip bars. The vast majority of the performers had multiple tatoos. Some, very tasteful, some not so much. I always got the impression, the more or larger the tattoos, the harder looking the dancer, again, not always the case. To many folks tattoos are synonymous with lower class. I personally know this is not true; I have three beautiful daughters and they all have at least one tattoo. My policy was simply, must be at least 18 and out of high school and no ink on their head, neck, chest, hands or lower arms, 'cause there will be times you don't want anyone to see them.
To many folks, tattoos are a form of body mutilation. They are permanent, unless you can afford the laser treatments to remove them, and over time they fade and change with the body.
I have friends, male and female with tattoos. My brother, who spent 12 years in the Navy and many more in the reserves, had several tattoos. I think nothing less of any of them because of this. Life is full of choices and tattoos were their choice, they're just not mine.

I have yet to see a tattoo that improves the looks of the canvas, man or woman. It is not as if they are displaying their own creation either. It is someone else's talent that is being shown.

The human form is very appealing in its natural state. Why mess it up?

It may be a fad, but unlike other fads, it is difficult to move on from it. Surveys have shown that a majority of people with tats later regret their decision to get them.

As a photographer who looks for the female form to be the "media"; having to undo a tattoo is unnecessary work. For every one excellent tat, there are 15,000 really horrible ones. You can cover them with paint, you can retouch them out, you can pose around them...but in the end they are impediments to photography unless you are photographing the tattoo as the subject...then do what works.

The models without tattoos are paid more...so that should tell you something.

I know that tattoos are in, but as for me (in my 50's), I don't think I'll ever get one. It's too much of a commitment! That thing will go with you to the grave, and I don't know of any subject matter that I would want to mark myself permanently with. I love faeries, dragons, peacocks, and especially mermaids, but the thought of having one permanently just turns me off.

Oh, and there's nothing I hate more than dating a guy with some other woman's name tattooed on him.

This has been talked about before and I've given it some thought and come up with this reason. For me it goes back to my days as a policeman; 'respectable' people weren't tattooed, thugs and people looking for trouble were.
tattoos = thug = jail time, simple as that. Now that's good straight thinking

Tramsey, I'm not entirely disagreeing with your thought process....., BUT it's pretty hard to confuse a tat on a normal person with prison gang tag tats unless you live in a vacuum! Being a cop puts you into a pretty conservative fraternity and probably speaks more to your stance on tats than the tats themselves. I'm not saying you don't know what you do and don't like, but face it, more young people have tats now than don't, so who are we old poeple to say what is right and wrong on young people.

You do know that today's young people are attracted to the tattoos because of their association with gangsta, right? It has morphed culturally into cool simply because it was anti establishment....so it does and forever will have the element of "bad" because it was meant to. Even the non gang stuff...so if you have a nude girl covered with tats standing next to a girl nude with non of them, which would you presume to be "clean and untainted by dangerous living"? That is the look that cannot be undone.

photo...., gansta and dangerous living?!?! What exactly is dangerous living? You mean drinking and getting high...., maybe unprotected sex? That's the same things the untated girls do too!!
If you're 5'10" and want to do commercial modeling you'll have no tats. If your 5-2, you'll only do alternative modeling, and there is as much demand for with tattoos as without.
Give me a beautiful model with tattoos over a fat girl with no tattoos any day!!
