It seems like every single new female porn star coming out has multiple unsightly or ridiculous looking gigantic tattoos, and many are covered head to toe. I understand it's personal preference, and some people are all into this bandwagon trend, but can we get at least a few girls who are ink free for those of us who aren't into that look? It's not that I'm some old fuddy duddy conservative, I'm into porn and love naked women's natural body look, and I just find tattoos to be visually distracting, and very much a turn off.

Personally I really don't like tattoos at all. Especially big tattoos on legs, ass and tits, and obviously face (but I still like Katrina Jade). But if the tattoo is small and on the back, on a arm or shoulder I can bear it. Even because it's becoming very difficult to find performers without any tattoo.

The reason why you don't see a lot of performers without any tattoos in more recent years is because the culture is finally coming into unison with the art. It still needs a facelift but that's another thread for another time...
Before it used to be a very white suburbanite looking industry because the Talent usually came from middle class conservative homes where tattoos were obviously "strictly forbidden".
Now in this liberal-conservative society where prostitutes, strippers, and ride or die bitches are finally getting a chance to masculinze and take back their sexual identity & sexual power & sexual fulfillment & sexual nature; as they should. Tattoos and things are encouraged and more appealing to them. In the same exact way tattoos appeal to us but they don't look at it like that because it's not that way
Simply put. American Women are finally catching up to what African Women, Asian Women, Native American Women, and all other South American Women have been doing for centuries and you're witnessing that process take place in real time

There are PLENTY of new pornstars coming in that have a "natural body look." The problem is that you're going to the wrong websites.

Yeah - I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on at least one part of your point - my wife is from Argentina, and we spend a significant amount of time there every year. Tattoos are absolutely not anywhere near as popular there as they are in the US, and they aren't really popular anywhere in South America, except in the poorest ghetto favelas in Brasil. This trend's recent popularity is very much from the States.

I can't think of any new "stars" and I'm not talking amateurs on one-and-done sites, but working stars for big name production houses who don't have a minimum of 3-4 very conspicuous tats.
Maybe Jillian Janson? I can't remember, but I think even she has a few small ones.
and yeah - I'm with the other poster above, big tats on tits, ass, or face - huge turn off.

the artistic quality of the ninetynine percent of tatoos is very, and I mean VERY low. Certainly we're not discussing of Raphael or Rembrandt.

again - lots of those sites feature very pretty, in some cases tattoo free, yet still one and done newbies who look unnervingly uncomfortable - and in lots of cases, potentially jailbait. Not my scene.
I'm not really into girls who don't look like they are genuinely enjoying what they are doing, and with most of the barely legal/very young looking girls sites like x-art and passionhd, that is often the case - in my experience.
also - I like tits. those sites often lack tits.

lol Don't we all?

Personally I'm a fan of the body art on a curvy woman. As has already been mentioned however I don't think that it's as prevalent among current female porn stars as the title of this thread suggests.

It seems to me that your initial claim was that most new performers are inked. Now you're suggesting that the real issue is that there aren't enough big breasted, not youngish looking, major pornstars/seasoned performers who don't have tattoos. Am I right?

Tattoos, implants, makeup that makes them look deformed, long hair falling over and blocking the shot, high heeled shoes, corsets, piercings, bleached blonde hair, etc. There are many visual reasons I could find to dislike a scene, so any video will probably have some. American porn is mostly a West Coast look, which I accept until the producers find more freedom to shoot in other states.

I won't watch a girl who is covered with any type of body art. But, if a favorite starts out clean and adds, I won't care or notice them, I never noticed them on Janine, I don't notice them on Roxanne Rae now

Sure. Tattoos in mine opinion hardly ever add to the beauty of a women. Often and more often when huge they are disturbing. Having said that – any body should look the way the want, but for me less tattoos would be great.

It's a personal preference of mine and I certainly don't judge anyone who holds an opposing viewpoint, but I strongly dislike seeing tattoos on girls. To the point that I just can't get off to a scene featuring a heavily tattooed girl. One or two, or maybe a tramp stamp is ok. But full back pieces etc just aren't my thing.
The reason? Mainly that it obscures many of the attributes that I find beautiful about women and covers over what was already perfect right out of the box. How is this different from makeup? Makeup is used to hide blemishes and / or highlight the naturally beautiful attributes of the woman. Tattoos are intended to be works of art in their own right. In that sense, I feel that tattoos are in competition with the woman for my attention rather than in collaboration.
I think it also has something to do with a subconscious association of tattoos with masculinity. In that sense, perhaps it's a generational thing.
Having said all that, I don't find it difficult at all to find stars and scenes that conform to this preference. Foobachi, I'm just not sure where you're looking that you're either finding only girls "covered head to toe" or girls who are "potentially jailbait" and nothing at all in between. In fact, I am actually having a difficult time coming up with any starlets I know of covered in tatts other than Christy Mack or Jandi Lynn off the top of my head...
But I guess I get what you're saying; it is a bummer when you're getting into a scene and then you notice the giant green scribble on a girl's inner thigh or something.

I completely agree. I don't mind a few small and discreet tattoos, but this trend with women covering an entire area of their body with tattoos needs to stop. It looks so trashy. The weird thing is that I know very few men who actually think tattoos make a women more attractive. Most men seem either ambivalent or opposed to women with large tattoos.

nope. they turn me on.

as for the whole "natural look" thing, none of the pornstars you jerk it to, whether inked or not, are shooting sans makeup. But I guess you probably didn't mean that :)

As a reviewer, I've accepted the tattoo thing as just another element of the current porn culture. However, if a tattoo really detracts, I will single it out---that ridiculous gun tattoo on a gal's belly pointed at her pussy was too much.

I'm with most of you. Don't mind a small tat on the ankle or maybe a tiny one on the back but prefer girls without them. Monique Alexander is a great example of how tattoos really changed her popularity. She was absolutely gorgeous when she broke in doing just girl/girl. Then she did some B/G and kept her great look for a while with Vivid. then she started adding the tats and it completely ruined her "girl next door" look in my opinion. Especially the huge one on her side. Monique-I will always be a fan but I wish you kept the body art to a minimum. My new favorites now are Natalie Monroe, Casey Calvert, Eva Lovia, Sara Luvv, Dillion Harper, etc., all beautiful girls with no or very limited tattoos.

I have a few tattoos, but as a general rule I'm not a huge fan of large, prominent tattoos, but they aren't a deal breaker for me wither. Like a few of the above posters said, I've pretty much accepted it as part of the porn culture. While it's more socially acceptable than it was a few decades ago, large, prominent tattoos are still very much considered somewhat of a rebellious and/or anti-establishment indicator so they kinda go hand in hand with porn.
That said I'm much more interested in the looks of a performer and how she performs. One of my absolute favs right now is Kleio Valentein and she has some of the most prolific tattoos around, but her looks and performance totally offset the ink for me, and in her case I might argue she wouldn't have the same appeal without them. (she'd be a very cute "girl next door" type, but not the siren she is now) I don't mind Romi's large tattoo on her back, and I kinda like the paw prints. I still think Monique is stunning, but I agree with the above poster that I'd prefer her without them.
I think the first girl I really got into that had a large tattoo when I first started watching her was Azlea Antistia. Among others she had a large dragon on her upper back, but I really dug her (reminded me a bit of an ex) so I got over the ink pretty quick.
To the OP, I feel your pain, but I'll give you the same advice I give most around here. Focus on finding what you like, and just avoid what you don't. There's a crapload of porn out there and I'd be shocked if anyone liked a majority of it. Find some ink free stars that you like and enjoy your wanking!

Dylan Phoenix is so pretty, great lips, great body, the short hair works for her, she's charismatic... but I just can't get past all those tats in the most obnoxious places. She would have been one of my new favs, and for me to say that about a blonde says alot...

I strongly dislike ink, especially highly visible tats. Virtually none of my favorite stars are inked up. Thankfully, the absurd "tramp stamp" era seems to be over.

What I'm saying is that most "mainstream" porn stars, girls I can find more than one or two scenes from, all seem tobe trending twoards covering themselves in poorly though out tattoos.
You suggested a I look at bunch of sites which feature lots of girls who only make one or two appearances in their movies, who are mostly extremely young looking, and often seem quite uncomfortable whit doing porn in the first place, and I'm not into that.
I'm bummed that the only women who seem to be tattoo free are the ones who looking possibly underage and scared to death of what they are doing.

I honestly don't have a problem with them, my wife has a dragon design on her back, done before i met her and didn't put me off, same when i watch porn, i never say "can;t watch this, she has tats", i might think some look stupid though ha.
In fact some stars, the tats really suit them, or maybe i'm just used to seeing them with tats, i don;t know, bottom line is i have no problems with them.

I don't mind small, unobtrusive tattoos like Jenna's "Heartbreaker"--but sleevework or backwork or any other large, extensive ink is a turn-off for me.
What really gets me is when a porn star with tattoos gets photograped, and poses so that the tattoo is hidden or obscured. I remember when Tera Patrick first got her tattoo sleeve, she would turn her left side to the camera so that no one could see the ink on her right arm. And it's the same with other stars, covering tattoos with clothes or hair, or just turning the tattoo away from the camera. Why bother getting the mark if you keep trying to hide it?

^ Not exactly a rhetorical question.
Some people get tattoos for themselves, not to show off to others or the world. They're also aware that a lot of people are intolerant assholes who think it's their place to tell others what and what not to do to their own bodies so they spare the confrontation by not showing the tattoos.
In the case with Tera Patrick, did she actually hide the sleeve on her own accord or did the photographer/studio insist on her not showing it?

^^ It's probably the photographer's choice.
I don't have a problem with ink. I just don't care for tit tats like Bonnie Rotten's spider webs or that girl with the stars over her nipples. Even then it's not enough to make not want to watch them or consider them "ruined". My favorite tat would probably be Riley Reed's Asian lettering, as it accentuates the curvature of her back.

About a year ago, I met a woman who had 10 tattoos. One on each arm, 4 on her back and 2 on each leg. I'm not usually interested in women who have that much ink, but she was really cool, she had a pretty face and a nice body. She was a friend of one of my coworkers, and one night she came with us for drinks. I spent much of that evening talking to her, and later that night, we went back to my apartment. As she got undressed, I asked her to tell me about a few of the pieces I thought were interesting. She had some funny stories about each one, from a favorite pet to her first car. I must say, it was a pretty neat thing to get to know so much about her in such a short time because of her artwork.
So I guess my point is that the girls in porn might have a story behind their art. I don't know if anyone has seen a video of porn girls talking about their tattoos, but I'd be interested.

^ I'm probably stereotyping too much, but chances are the stories to be told by a pornstar who falls into the "19-year-old with a bunch of bad tattoo artwork" category won't amount to much more than ex-boyfriends, BFFs and decisions made while drunk.
I'm personally not a fan of tattoos, but I've come to accept them as long as they're actually done well. Sadly, that latter part is often quite an obstacle among the tattoos seen on pornstars. (Both female and male.)

So glad that black girls aren't as bad as the white chicks are when it comes to tattoos. Even when it comes to the Kakey's and Go Go Fuk Me's of the industry.
The way y'all make the white girls sound makes me believe that white girls look like walking dead nightmares

As my avatar reads: One man's trash can be the next man's treasure.
Personally, I prefer the GirlNextDoor look. Natural breasts, no tattoos, no petrochemical hair, limited make up, normal dress.
Monica Sweetheart is one of my all-time favorites, she had a tattoo on her shoulder blade. I looks like a lobster. It didn't mar her appearance IMHO.
I like Zoey Monroe. I can get past her unfortunate backside ink because the rest of her is what I like in porn gals. She seems genuine, friendly, kinda cute, sort of normal except for the tattoos. A good camera guy either emphasizes her tattoos or limits them. In certain angles Zoey is just lovely, in some others, well, I try to look past the tats, maybe concentrate on her tits.
Just my opinion.

I just find it overrated by the users while at the same time I find tanning underrated. The first idea provides a lot of poison to the blood that ends up in the liver over the years, real heavy shit trust me, while the latter one brings vitamins and a smashing look from there on right into the game.

Not a fan of tats all over the body but i am okay with 1 or 2 done well.I do like tramp stamps but thats about the only part of the body i am okay with having a tat .Or something very small like what Andi Anderson had - a small heart on her ass.
I am not into the whole body or whole back tat and i don't like what Tory Lane has done to her back but i guess one has to accept it as part of the whacky times we live in [:p)].
So i guess my answer is "i am turned off by the girls who have too many tats on em but i can live with a few strategically places tats that do not interfere with the girl's beauty".
Ofcourse to each his own and many guys are into the maximum tat look.I won't hate on em.Let everybody enjoy what they love and all needs should be catered to.

Tattoos are ugly outside of porn, never mind in it.
I hate them. They destroy a girl's body and make her look awful, cheap and ugly.
I was on a dating site a few weeks ago, and this chick wanted to make contact with me. She had a really pretty face - 'I thought yeah, great!'
That was until I looked at the rest of her body and her other pics. She had tattoos on her hands and fingers. She had tattoos on her neck, legs and arms, and God knows where else. Totally ruined her appearance. Such a ****ing shame. :( Call me shallow but I didn't respond to her message.
Back to porn, it's the same thing. I like the girl-next-door look, as long as the girl next door isn't inked up to the eyeballs.
I am joyous when I see a chick with no tattoos. It's a beauty to behold. :)
I agree. I thought she was a beautiful, healthy girl with lovely skin. Just the right weight.
Now, she's tattooed and skinny and sorry, NOT for me.

One or two small tattoos are fine, but tats all over are distracting. Bonnie Rotten, for example, has some HOT scenes. But I can't look at her long.

However, The Body XXX, who you've probably never heard of, has lots of tats too. But she also has a gigantic ass. So I'm a fan.

Not a fan of tats. Not a fan of Bonnie Rotten because of all the tats. One or two small tats is ok, but tats are a major turnoff for me.
