Escorts & Tattoos

[DaninWA]

Hi Chris,

 

I like men, with or without tattoos. A tattoo does not cause me to be more attracted to a man or less.

 

Having said that, quality work makes a tattoo a true work of art. Also, it is interesting to hear the story behind the tattoo.

 

My 2 cents. Take it for what it's worth.

This is a question i have had for some time.. i am

in current consideration of having more work done

does a tattoo on a escort make him less likely

to attract clientele as opposed to someone whom does not

thus makeing him less saleable

[Guest PhxMasseur]

I doubt it matters, for as many varieties and types of escorts there are out there, there is a market of clients for that type. Personally I prefer the clean-cut, professional look, or a big beefy muscleman. I've never liked the young twinky type, nor would I hire a leatherman. Just my preference, everyone likes em different, theres room for every type of escort.

Hey there,

 

I have two--a skull on my bicep & a medieval dragon on shoulder--it's never really been an issue for my clients. Most guys just say cool. I was going through my heavy metal/gothic phase when I was inked<G>

I'm one of those guys who loves tattoos, so if I know an escort I'm interested in has them, it's a major turn-on. I have three tattoos myself, all acquired in the last six years, and I've never regretted getting them. Once you get a tattoo, you typically want another one, or two or three. Pretty addictive. I also really like piercings, but don't have any myself.

It really is a matter of taste. I love seeing tattoos on an escort (particularly since I'm too big of a sissy to get one myself). Sometime you find them in the most surprising places. }> I like some piercings as well.

 

By the way, did you know that Eleanor Roosevelt had a small butterfly tattoo on her arm?

[Will]

Naturally, this is a matter of taste. Even so, it may be useful to remember that bodies age, but tattoos don't. What may look way cool at twenty-five will look lukewarm at thirty-five and downright cold at forty-five. And by the time you're fifty-five, the tattoo that made you desirable at twenty-five will make you look like a middle-aged bum.

 

On the whole, I don't like them. Not at all. I don't see why people do something faddish that cannot be undone. Why not use the stick-on kind?

 

As I said, it's a matter of taste. The taste itself is class-based. If tattoos on a man turn gay men on, it's generally because tattoos are frequently signs of working-class people, bikers, and outlaws. Thus it's really a fetish, I suppose.

 

My taste runs to the manly Prince Charming. Thus, for me tattoos are generally a turn-off. But then I don't like tacked-on metal ornamentation, either, and most especially Down There.

[OneFinger]

One of my favorite escorts (who eventually became a centerfold for In Touch) had a beautiful eagle tattoo that covered his entire back.

 

I began hiring him before the tattoo was started. While it did look good on him, I was really more attracted to him before he started getting inked.

 

I have never since hired someone with multiple or large tattoos. I can't explain or justify my feelings/preferences. I'd mind seeing men that are inked -- I just don't find them a sexual appealing.

[Guest BenDover]

I have no real objection to body art except when it becomes clear that mutilation is going on. I think that brings up a whole other can of worms. And tattoos do seem to be more fashion driven, and I can't remember the last time I saw a Nerhu jacket. So, I think there are going to be a lot of retirees wearing their long-sleeved, knee-length bathing suits to the beaches in Florida some day.

The guy I have seen regularly has some of the most original and striking tattoos I've ever seen. I know him well, and the tatts are definately an extension of his identity and belief system. I find them erotic only because I find him erotic. If he didn't have them, I wouldn't feel any differently.

I do wonder if there are guys out there who regret having been tattoo'd. I still think of my Dad wearing a bandaid whenever he wore a sleeveless shirt to cover the name Rose on his arm. My mom's name was Eileen.

You're right, Will...Aussie men are hot enough without it.

[marc anthony]

I am a confused guy. On principle, I don't care for tatoos, and would prefer that no one got them. Any boy who I cared about who asked me would get the same response... "DON'T DO IT." But of the top 10 hottest guys I have ever been with and found unbelievably attractive, I gotta say that the majority of them have tatoos. What's a boy to do?

 

Marc <------ I know what I like, but what is that?

Brillant point Sr. Will. They are there to stay.

 

Most tats look ugly to me. However, my one friend Scott has a neat little Aztec sun on the shoulder. It is done orange, red, and yellow.

 

This one billing clerk in my office is an ex-biker chick. When she was 20 years old she had a tattoo of small fish (pisces) burnt onto her then shapely buttocks. Twenty years of trailer park living, with amples servings of malt liquor, cool whip, poptarts, and canned cocktail weinnies has caused her to become quite hefty gal.

 

I've heard the the cutesy fish now ressembles Orka the whale.

[Guest 7Zach]

Should have just added an s for the lime juice. The bandaid was too funny, but wasn't it kind.

[Guest Kevin 2]

Just remember if you ever do anything wrong those tattoos will come back to haunt you when you're on America's Most Wanted.

[Guest texguy51]

For me, nothing is sexier than a clean-cut guy with some sexy tattoos. It makes him look like he's really a conformist, but willing to do some unexpected things.

[+ deej]

I'm with ya Will, but for different reasons I think. I don't think it's class-based. I think it's herd mentality to get body art these days.

 

I don't like tattoos becuase I *love* skin. Smooth skin. Hairy Skin. Tanned skin. The skin under the tanline. (The tanline itself ... yum!)

 

I'm also not fond of body jewelry. I always feel like I should be so gentle nibbling a pierced bit.

 

But here's something interesting I heard on the news during the spate of shark attacks in Florida earlier...

 

If two swimmers are in the water, the shark will go after the one with the tattoo before it will go after the one without. They never said why.

 

Things that make you go "hmmmmm...."

[BuckyXTC]

Tattoos really are a matter of personal taste, some folks like them and some don't. But I wouldn't go as far as some to intimate that having a tattoo is somehow a function of social class. At a point in time years ago, that might have been true, but I think many who choose to be inked today do so for lots of different reasons. My own inkings are very much personal statements about who I am. And at the age of 48, I don't give two hoots about what anyone else thinks of them. I didn't get them to please others, I got them to please me. And they do. (And no, TT: no Shirley Temple or Pat Boone tats, but I do have one of Satan.)}>

 

 

 

I will admit I like the feeling of getting them. It's an experience akin to eating Habanero peppers.....the endorphins really roll when that electric needle is pounding ink through flesh. Definitely a rush!

[Guest chaz49wm]

Tattoos where not for me even after 21 years in the Navy But boy did they look hot on Vegas Boy Dave. MMM he looked great with his would like to see the other 2 running around with the same one. Hugs Chuck

I have generally found this to be true with all my regular clients. Most just say "cool" or "nice" , and we go about our time together as we normally would. Realizing of course, that many perceive tattoos in a negative light, I tend not to list it right away in a profile to a guy looking for my services. I will mention it to him as part of our initial conversations, but generally speaking my pics as well as conversation will hopefully develope the connection necessary to move forward. But of course, I always mention the tattoo in the unlikely chance that he is TOTALLY turned off by them.

ok...my story...had been looking for a tattoo for almost a year. Found an artist in WeHo, came up with my own design...and was subsequently dissappointed in his inability to come up with something for me....

 

Then, shortly after 9/11, I was in New Zealand. Came across this tattoo artist who I later found out was considered top notch in that country. He wanted to spend quality time chatting with me regarding what I was looking for and why. This impressed me. I settled upon a combination of design elements that included 2 doves (which I felt was so appropriate as the world was going to war on terrorism and we were still reeling from NYC)

 

So, now I have 2 beautiful birds of peace on my left pec, done in colors of white, blue, red, and green. Not for one moment have I regretted having them done. I truly consider them a work of art on my body, and constantly marvel at the quality of the work and the new look on my bod. Others seem genuinely surprised at how much they like it as well.

 

So, ultimately, I say give it a chance. If it turns you off, then obviously you wouldn't want to go through with even scheduling an appointment. However, if done right, and placed appropriately, and matching the personality of the person who owns the tattoo...it can look awesome!!

For some reason, those designs around the biceps/upper arm of well-built men turn me on (even though they are kind of trendy). An occasional well-done and tasteful tattoo can be nice, too (not a bleeding skull or a grim reaper). I feel it's a shame, though, when beautiful men cover their bodies with tattoos. There are a couple of guys at the gym who have unbelievably gorgeous bodies which are marred by being covered in tattoos. Really sad.

I would also like to echo the previously-expressed view about tattoos as one ages. What looks hot on a 25 year-old might not look so hot on a 45 year-old, and may look downright silly in a 55 year-old. It never ceases to amaze me how men in their 20's, especially early 20s, have no concept of the fact that they're going to age. It's like guys who choose their screen name as "Adam25," as if their age is something which will never change.

[Guest tmbg]

I'm not a huge fan of tattoos. If an escort has one or two small ones it would make little difference to me when determining to hire him. Large or too many tats would definately send me looking for someone else.

Unicorn, maybe it refers to their I.Q. :'(

Normally I don't like tattoos, but if I ever have a chance to hire Shane Rockford, that tattoo will be irrelevant.

[Guest Merlin]

Tatoos are a negative when I am looking for an escort. They are inconsistent with the young,clean-cut, American image I am looking for.

[+ Charlie]

Chris,

As should be obvious from these replies, getting tattooed will lose you some business and gain you some other business. You have to make the decision based on what is comfortable for you, because you can't predict exactly what it will do to your bottom line.

 

I tend to like artistically done tats in certain places, such as biceps, chests, backs and calves. I hate homemade jobs and anything above the neck or on hands. But it's all a matter of personal tastes, just like prefering a certain body type, coloring, hairiness, or ethnic background--or even wanting someone cut or uncut. What turns me on is bound to turn someone else off, and vice versa.
