Tattoo photos for body art magazines, and the girl's portfolio. She had a nice "sleeve" on her right arm.
I have two questions: Why? What will you tell your grandchildren?
She’s a doll, but she’s opted to displace the focus of those who look at her.

She will say it was what was in... like you kids having your ear lobes dip died and the end of your nos split down the middle. We let our knees show in our jeans.. never walked in public with our beasts hanging out and boys with codpieces ! really?? you kids
Try standing your model further away from the backdrop to soften the background, otherwise your usual high standard, well done...
My personal motto on tats are either show them or hide them, no half-way decisions. Her body, her decision, her request, nice sleeve.
Agree moving her further from background would soften and shooting sitting in that pose is not most flattering for her. But always like your work. Cap great prop for her.
Thanks. Cap was used 'cause some of photos will be submitted to biker (Harley Davidson) magazines like Easyriders and Outlaw Biker.

Wow, is Easyriders still around? Was shooting lots of car clubs, trick vans, and custom bikes back in the 70s and use to buy some issues to get ideas with bikes. Submitted a few photos to them but never used.
Still around. All the print mags have been hurt...many killed...by the internet and piracy.

Lovely lady, beautiful face and expression.

Why do you even care? Why are you obsessed with people that have tattoos?
"Obsessed"!! Wow, that's a bit strong.
But in answer to your first question, I care because it seems to me--and this may be a generational matter--that the young woman has made choices that may come into play later in her life. I try to work through the scenario in which this young person has turned into an older person and is reading a bedtime story to her granddaughter. Out of the blue, the four-year old child looks at her grandmother's arm and says, "Gramma, where did those pictures on your arm come from?" It's coming up with an answer to this question that bedevils me. I'm not sure that this constitutes "obsession," but you can call it what you will.
Too much like just grafitti.
Can we stick to the subject please? I don't have any tattoos but I don't see the need to express my likes/dislikes on the subject. LAS has made a good technical shot. Whether the model has tattoos or not is about as immaterial as to whether it was shot on a Canon or Nikon (or any other make).

I apologize and somewhat agree.
