thanks, I wouldve went bigger if they had silicone available in the US in larger than 800cc volume ... I just love how huge fake tits look and I love the fake tit look...probably because I was an A cup and got made fun of so much for it :(

I think a lot of guys, including myself, prefer natural A-size boobs rather than artificially enhanced bigger boobs.
Some good examples of popular porn ladies with small boobs are Lexi Belle and Brianna Love.
Katja Kassin was also pretty popular when she had small boobs, but for some reason she decided to get bigger boobs anyway. And then she dropped out of making porn not long after that. It seems that artificially enhancing her boobs didn't do much for her porn career.

I think it's interesting. I have tattoos, but I find 'bad' tattoos a bit of a turn off, and by 'bad' I mean generic, pick it off a wall in a tattoo place stuff. However, as I may have mentioned before, Janine has said that she has so many (rather beautifully done) tattoos as it was a way for her of trying not to get back into the industry. I wonder whether the same is true of Eva Angelina who returned with a full sleeve.
Might there be a difference between a generic late 90s chinese/japanese/flower bit of nonsense and a wish for some performers to 'ink themselves out the market'?
Do you think that Eva came back doing DV and DA because she now has to up the stakes for people to watch her with her tattoos and Skrillex hair?

Is there really anything in nature more beautiful than a beautiful woman? And the beautiful skin of a beautiful woman? It's impossible to improve on the perfection of the human female.
I have never seen a case where a beautiful woman was transformed into a MORE beautiful woman by getting a tattoo. Conversely, there are an abundance of cases where a woman was made LESS attractive by a tat.
It is virtually statistically impossible for a woman to become more attractive by having someone inject ink into her skin, no matter how skillful.

I can honestly say I had dreams about all of my tattoos before getting and have never picked them off of the wall...even those that are inspired by or have part of a trademark to them I had the artist add my own touch to it.

As long as I like her I can get past them. As I get older I have to accept people they way they are, and if I have any kind of interaction with them I have to get to know them before I pass any kind of judgement.
I am not a fan of tattoos.
Although they are all dead now, when I was a much younger man I never saw a WWI Vet with a Tattoo. But WWII Vets on, yes.

I think tattoos are just a fad that comes and goes in different generations. A time will probably come when tattoos will be out of fashion again.
People have been tattooing themselves for at least 5000 years, but not continuously so.

This is the dumbest hair style I have ever seen for a female and cassie is smoking hot as hell with all her hair
Another thing women do that is just dumb is dye there hair red pink or green

It's your skin/body etc. and you can do as you like. But to quote the Dutch illustrator Frans Mensink "Tattoos are like graffiti. They can be well done and awesome, when on your walls they never help to increase the value of your house."

I believe its your body, your art, your business, I don't find them attractive myself as they detract from the fantasy for me. I presume lots of people in the entertainment biz are tattooed because they are artists. Some times its done poorly and with other modifications I find scary, like the head shave thing. The worst is the pussy tattoo on people. As an entertainer if you modify yourself it may affect income, can you cover tattoos with body makeup for work?

^ Pretty much my view, too. While I haven't always refrained from mentioning things that don't appeal to me personally -- such as breast augmentation (sorry, Ms Falcon!), piercings, or that semi-shaved hairstle above -- I try to make it clear that this is purely one person's taste and not imply any criticism of the people opting for these features or the fans who admire them.
Besides, one of the fundamental tenets in my life, holding as strongly in my old age as when I was a youth, is that Women Are Beautiful. This is true whether they are the height of elegance or street rats, waifish or zaftig, fair or dark, big boobed or bee stung, young or old, ... . Some may appeal to me more than others (such as my preference for natural breasts), but still, the basic principle holds: Women Are Beautiful. As such, I would rather have them choose a look that makes them happy; I am going to be appreciative regardless.

Hey girl,
I am a fellow performer. I am on my 6th year this month. I started out with not a single tattoo or fake books.Now I have 6 tattoos and am on my 2nd boob job. The tattoos dont always hinder your work, I think it depends on where/what it is. I left the biz a year ago and had a song lyric placed under my left boob....When I came back I thought it would hinder my work... Maybe it has but for the most part I am still pretty consistantly booked/bookable as much as one can be in the biz right now. I dont buy into the "follow what everyone else wants you to do" category. If people dont like my tattoos then dont watch, you dont like my fake tits, find someone else to jerk off too...My opinion would be to hold off on anymore, only because where some of yours are, arent the best area to work around from a filming/photography perspective. However if your lil heart so desires, do what makes you happy.
Another thing, I recently bought Dermablend scar/tattoo makeup just in case someone complains about the tattoo under myboob... I can then always cover it up, and this stuff doesnt rub off. Maybe buy some of that, cover the tattoos and have someone snap a few pics of you covered... so then you"appear" more marketable...thats just an idea.
Keep on doin your thing.

Thanks for the info. Skin Diamond looks a lot like Cassie. I guess that's why she decided to try that look.

Interesting thread. Not sure I've ever seen a porn star ask fans why they dislike tattoos.
I don't like them. There are many very beautiful porn stars out there. Someone above said porn scenes were acting out fantasies for the viewer. I would have to agree with that. So many of the women in porn are absolutely stunning to me and to see them performing my favourite scenes, complete with good lighting and production qualities brings me a lot of pleasure.
The problem with tattoos is they are a distraction and run counter to the viewer's fantasy (unless the viewer is one of the few who likes that sort of thing). I really don't want to see the skin of a beautiful woman being ruined like that. Someone else wrote above it's like putting bumper stickers on a Ferrari. I agree with that. Why can't beautiful women just accept that we see them as beautiful and leave their beautiful bodies and skin natural and unmodified? If you like artwork and images, buy a painting or photo and hang it in your house. Or just get those images printed on a shirt. Tattoos are permanent and people change many times through their lives.
So as a consumer I def look for porn stars with the least amount of tattoos and silly piercings. I do vote with my wallet on this and suspect that's why the studios and agencies are sensitive to this. Tattoos hurt the bottom line from the demographic they're shooting for!

LOL I do a lot of things you have never seen from a porn star before. I do love art and though this forum does not seem to be a big fan of body art I really do not think your porn viewing should be judged based on tattoos. Like I said before, it should be based on performance and production quality.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I like ALL and i mean ALL WOMEN including ones with boobjobs(that came out resonable), as well as the tattooed, Pierced suicide girl types. Pierced nipples drive me nuts in a good way.
In fact i think i trend more towards liking the types of girls that happen to have more tattoos than less.

So you think that your appearance is not important to a porn scene? If that's the case, why did you spend money on a boob job? Why do you bother to do your hair and put on makeup before the scene?
The appearance of the performer is the absolute first most important thing in a porn scene. To many people, tattoos fuck up the way that a porn star looks. If I don't find a porn star attractive, I couldn't care less about her performance or the production quality of the scene, because I'm never going to watch it.

Tats are the status quo now. In my opinion they are an effort to compensate for the lack of culture most Americans have.
In general the Europeans don't get them, Rebecca Linares, Annette Schwartz, Katja Kassin, Anissa Kate etc.... Can't really think of one big star mail or female from Europe that has them.
Beauty is a gift and putting permanent ink on it is an insult to your own identity.
The one exception is people with functional tats, people like Skin Diamond for example who got her back piece done to conceal a burn scar. I think that's cool and a very creative to augment identity.
When I see a man or woman with a tribal tat or a gun or some other dumb star or something its a complete turn off and makes me think less of them.

Your remark right here "Beauty is a gift and putting permanent ink on it is an insult to your own identity" is an incredibly ignorant statement.
We can go on for-ev-er about how tattoos"ruin or hinder" the beauty of a woman, or it being a distraction. Sure you dont like them fine. Majority of tattoos do turn out trashy, crappy, less appealing. But that doesnt make it an INSULT TO YOUR IDENTITY! You sound like we live in the damn 50's.... Some people look at it as art,plain and simple. And not every piece of art is good, or should I say appealing to everyone. Hell Picaso wasnt revered in his day the way he is now...You dont like body art, fine... but maybe chose your words wiser because you can come off a tad insulting... a HUGE majority of performers would take that offensive. Insinuating we have tainted our identity through some body ink, identity sweetheart is more than skin deep.

^Some people may not enjoy them but I would say that getting a tattoo is now part of todays North American culture because so many people are getting them. That doesn't mean that we have to like it but Tattoos, piercings have made their way into the mainstream world.

Tattoos are quite a turn off for me, never liked them, don't know why, but i cant stand em ( some small tattoos dont bother me that much if they arent that visible ) I also hate pussy/nipple piercings. Also it is worrying to me that many woman with great boobs gets implants, they dont even have small or saggy tits, but nice firm handfuls or bigger tits and they still gets implants, i just cant understand it. many sad stories of this in recent years because of less porn shoot, espesially in europe, where young porn girls shoot a few scenes and then get implants beacuse they get more work as escorts that way. ( i find it weird too that in escort business the guys seem to prefer fake boobs ), anyway going offtopic now.
This stuff used to bother me more before and i raised my voice when my fav girls got tattoos/piercings/implants, but nowadays i try to keep my mouth shut as everyone likes different stuff and you can do with your body as you wish, and if someone likes tattoos or to get bigger boobs, who are we to say she cant, but damn sometimes it is very hard to stay quiet :(

Leya, I think you're gorgeous and I love your tattoos!
I like the heavily tattooed look. I considered going in that direction after I got my first tattoo (the heart on my forearm) at 19, but I ended up only getting one more at 21. This is because every time I would try and design my next tattoo, all I could think was "This isn't good enough to be on my body permanently!" And honestly, the two tattoos I have are only there for the personal meaning they hold for me. I still like the look of a full sleeve, but I'm too fucking indecisive to actually be that inked and not get really pissed off at myself for it later in life. LOL.
I've found out very quickly how much porn thrives on stereotypes when it comes to a girl's appearance. I sometimes actually WISH I had started in the business with more tattoos, because I don't really like being pigeonholed as an innocent girl-next-door, because I'm not that. It makes it hard to grow as a performer once you're in, if that makes sense. But regardless, I won't be getting any more tattoos. If anything I'll change my hair or something, haha. (Which is also something that I used to express myself before getting into porn, and it's been a test of my willpower to have the same hairstyle for a year now!!!)

You don't have to look tatted and trashy to avoid being pigeonholed. Bobbi Starr is almost tattoo-free, and generally looks like someone you'd see in an Ivory Soap ad during a commercial break in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas special -- that didn't stop her from being the most mind-bendingly dirty girl in porn.

^ Even with that, I can't even count how many times I've seen Bobbi play the innocent girl-next-door. And part of the reason that she can (and has) broken out of those roles is because she's willing to do the dirtier sex acts (anal, DP, etc.). If you're unwilling to do those things for whatever reason, and you don't have the tattooed/pierced/badass/"skank" look, you get pigeonholed as being a good girl, even though those acts are totally not required when it comes to dirty girls or dirty sex.
She (Siri) hits the nail on the head when she mentions that the porn world is built on stereotypes, and girls can have a hell of a time trying to break out of them. Whether it's teen girls getting implants, or tattooed girls trying to do romance/couples-friendly type scenes, or even the "good girls" trying to do dirtier scenes without including the rougher sex acts.

thanks! And I think starting off "innocent" then going all out dirty is great so don't regret not having a bunch of tattoos, the discrimination by some companies towards girls with tattoos is not worth any of my tattoos that I have, though all of them do have deep, personal meaning they really do get in the way of where I am working towards in my career.

I would say that implants are worse than tattoos because implants are inherently attached to the porn industry. As far as I'm aware no-one says "get a tattoo and you'll work more" whereas look at the number of terrible boob jobs there are, that involve an operation with general anaesthetic, the inherent risks, a lot of money, and an outcome that can't be hidden when it looks terrible.

I honestly am very happy with my implants and got them because I always wanted big titties and the fact I am also a stripper I knew it would help my income as well so the cost was worth it. The only regret I have with my implants is getting them under the muscle (because then they have a strange line when flexing my pec muscles but I will take that any day over my a cups I had before! ) and I wanted them bigger but the US doesn't offer silicone in larger than 800cc volume so if I ever want them bigger I have to go to saline (which I don't like the feel of) or go out of the country!

Whoa... just read a crap-load of these threads & found out I'm some type of wierdo!
I wont date a woman, "seriously", UNLESS the girl is tatted "all to hell". ( I'm still undecided/maybe confused about face tats). I like a girl who "looks" like she'd help me bury a body!
I love Indigos' 45's, on her chest & stars. Never saw them as "bad" or "cheesy".
Women who aren't inked, like Janine Lundemulder-gorgeous. Scarlett Pain, Tori Lux, Cali Nova, Juelz Ventura, Jandi lynn, adrenal Lynn etc. Are, should rock "Burkas", like terrorists' ol' ladies.
I hate fake boobs, off colored/shaved or short hair, lip/eyebrow piecing, hair weaves, fake nails.
Mostly, I h8 U idiots who think A-cups aren't sexy. It is u dudes screwing w/ girls' minds, forcing them 2 costly, stupid, dangerous, wildly unnecessary tit enhancements.
That said, "if" I can't discern, the breasts & hair r fake, I'm cool. After-all, I will never date or marry Juelz Ventura or Indigo Augstine, I'll never feel those sweater-muffins, she's not mine....Gulp!....(horrible realization). I don't care if they're hard/solid fakies.
I also see NO USE n telling girls w/tats, that u find ink un-attractive...... I am repulsed by fat broads, but, would I post such a fact at "Krispy-Creme",
where they would see it? No! Don't be a dick. Really all chicks ask of us.
I agree w/a prior thread about performaince/prod. Qual. I don't care how good a girl moves/moans If she ain't "suited" (tatted damn near from head to toe) I ain't watchin her vids anyways....

I myself love performers with tattoos, and plenty of them, if they are naturally beautiful women and the work is done with real artistry. I have no limit as to how much ink I can tolerate. I find them incredibly attractive generally speaking because I find they accentuate the shape and the curves of an already wonderful body and also provide an beautiful contrast with their natural skin tone, whatever it may be. It gets me incredibly horny when I see a woman with tattoos around erogenous zones, like in the area above the pussy and lower belly, around the tits, and especially a slender pair of edible smooth thighs. Again, I think this accentuates the areas of the body they appear on or are near. It adds an extra layer of visual sensation to the scene for me. From a sheer pervy point of view, I love seeing tattoos ripple, wobble, shake and stretch from being grabbed and from being fucked hard, it really emphasizes the passion of the sex on the screen.
From a larger point of view of the industry as a whole, I think it is fantastic that it is becoming more and more accepted and that performers with plenty of ink-work are breaking out of the alt niche market and regularly working for top mainstream hardcore companies, websites, and directors. For me it shows that an increasingly liberal and decreasingly draconian attitude is blossoming and that both fans and professionals alike are becoming more open-minded. I pride myself in defending a pornstar's rights to do what they want with their own bodies without being subject to stereotypical and misogynistic views. Some of my favourites, and incidentally some of the most requested hot property performers in recent years, are heavily tattooed and I for one am all for them going on to become bigger and better. Stand up please Christy Mack, Juelz Ventura (please return to us!), and Bonnie Rotten.
Ignore the self-righteous bigots and children on here like Bellend (who it seems, lives up to his name perfectly) and look at performers with ink for who they are, first and foremost - human beings, with rights, and with feelings, just like the rest of us. If you do not like ink, fine, but show some sensitivity and stay off your soap box. Like it or not, tattooed performers in porn are on the rise and as far as I am concerned, this can only be good news for the industry.
