In terms of realism...it's suspension of disbelief, innit? Like, when we watch a historical mainstream film, we know it's not magical CCTV from the Victorian era - but the costume, set, speech etc is convincing enough that we can suspend disbelief. If someone rocked up in a film set in the Victorian era wearing a latex bodysuit and a gimp mask it'd become impossible to suspend disbelief, and that would make the film a lot less immersive and enjoyable for many people. In spanking videos, tattoos can be that 'thing' that makes the film cross the line and means disbelief can't be suspended. They can remove the audience from the video and emphasise that it's just pretend.
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I do think it's an extremely unrealistic expectation. This is an offshoot of the porn industry. I mean LOOK at some of the guys in these things! They look like low-level mob sleazeballs or dirty old men with enough money and connections to make more money off of adult video. Do any of these people seem like they give the slightest over content or believability, let alone worrying that one of their models has tattoos showing? Can you really expect that these 'film' are being made with the same concerns as a legitimate production of Jane Eyre?
And to be honest, we all have stuff we hate. For me it's mostly the men I spoke of.......images of balding sleazebags with graying ponytails, younger guys who look like Russian mobsters, and old, scrawny guys purporting to be "fathers" spanking girls while shirtless. Hell, tattoos are the least of my concerns! LOL
