IMHO Tattoos ruin spanking images

I am a little mixed in my views on tattoos. Personally I like them. That said, I usually don't like full sleeve tattoos or tattoos that obscure the whole (or whole sections of the) body. I spoke with Amber (of Spank Amber/ Amber Spanks) about her tramp stamp tattoo. She said she regretted getting such a large one. Sadly, I agreed with her. Less is more. However that's a different discussion about how tattoos were meant to symbolize something and wasn't just about decorating your body with random, haphazard artwork.

As to spanking images, there isn't a lot you can do, although they have been airbrushing imperfections out for years.

As to spanking videos, especially where a young woman is role playing a schoolgirl, if she has tons of tattoos, then I agree about it being a poor casting as it ruins the scene. However, if she has a single tattoo which is obvious during her spanking, I'd rather see them NOT ignore the elephant in the room.

"What is this?"
"I got it while on holiday, to (insert scandalous location). My friends dared me to get it!"

Or some other plausible BS story. Anything would be better than ignoring it's presence.

I agree with you about the 'random haphazard artwork' - you sometimes see models with oriental lettering here, Disney characters there, 'tribal' tattoos somewhere else (What tribe are they supposed to belong to anyway - does anybody know?) all apparently stuck on at random with no apparent theme or purpose, or any consideration of how they look together. I'd rather see one well-done sleeve tattoo (for example) - actual planned artwork that means something - rather than mass-produced images haphazardly dotted about.

Some people get tattoos because it's a part of party culture or sex culture. When a model has one of the two, it becomes character design. You can't design a character one way, then tell me I'm seeing the opposite. Whether the individual view likes tattoos or not, bad character design is the issue at hand.

Well, yes and no. The ability of someone else to understand the purpose behind a tattoo, isn't't behind my appreciation. For instance, I have a tribal, white, tiger tattoo on one forearm, and a tribal, white, dragon tattoo on the other. They usually go unnoticed by people by and large. If someone does notice them, they first think I have scars, then think I got branded, then are astounded that I, a 'white' person got white tattoos.

My perception of tattoos are a) they should be unique, b) they should have a strong underlying meaning, and c) they shouldn't be a second layer of clothing.
Contrary to the seeming triteness of the object images themselves, the specific tattoos are unique in color and design. Their meanings are extremely personal and intrinsic to me, although not obvious to any passerby.
My point is, if someone were to have random dizknee tattoo this and tribal tattoo that, it doesn't necessarily trigger me towards dislike unless they are right on top of each other. There is an abstract speculative appreciation that should be considered, but it isn't a requirement in my mind.
As I said, I have mixed views.

I'm not trying to usurp the point of the thread by bringing the topic around to simply whether you like tattoos or not.

My point is that if you don't like tattoos to begin with, ultimately, any tattoos seen will cause repugnance regardless if it suits character design, or not.

However, if you're open to the idea of tattoos, then a movie with a schoolgirl character who gets a bare bottom spanking and you see she has a teddy-bear tattoo on her tush, with a plausible explanation of it, isn't going to shatter the woven illusion.
However, if you're a purist who desires "unblemished virgins" getting a spanking, then I'd suggest your perception of "character design" is flawed. Who is more likely to get/need a spanking? A schoolgirl who never breaks the rules, or one who breaks the occasional rule?

Granted, someone who looks like they break the rules as often as breathing, a spanking wouldn't phase one way or the other. They're a hopeless cause which would break character design/plot/everything, so spanking that character design would be pointless. But one bad mistake might be followed up by another, to wit, you then have a character who is bad, but might still have a heart of gold. The perfect subject for a spanking, if you ask me, which is "perfect" character design and that is the issue at hand. Right?

what happened?!? I broke the thread and any of my attempts to fix it made it worse!

How did you break the thread, Lonewulf?

I totally agree with your assessment of tattoos and for the same reasons that you give. A total turn-off and mood destroyer.

You're asking me like I know? I just quoted two people and boom! it's like there's no word wrap

What sort of weird thing has happened with page 5 of this thread? All those shrunken pages and microscopic print.

The thread has certainly gone wild, definitely a techie problem!

Back to the subject matter. I am ambivolent about tattoos. Some are very tasteful, some exciting even.
I don't think that a tattoo necessarily makes a "girl" look older. Kami Robertson has a lovely little gecko on her hip, it's quite pretty. It didn't make her look 30 when she was 20 and it still doesn't.
Many, in fact almost all, of the youngsters I have met who are in/into the scene are inked. I think it's part of who they are. so spanking models are very likely to have "tatts".
The "Tramp-stamp" I find more amusing than off-putting, although one girl has her "slave number" tattooed there.
Perhaps "Georgina Fossington-Smythe at Roedean" might not be tattoed at age 16, but it really wouldn't surprise me if she was by 18!
Perhaps I'm just not Colonel Blimp. We are all different and enjoy different things, well spanking aside, that is!
No I don't have a tatt, but have always fancied one, does my social standing forbid or permit it, I'd love to find out!
A girl I used to really like has the most wonderful dragon tattoo over most of her torso, very colourful, I miss her.
