View Full Version : Why?: Transsexuals and (many) Bad Tattoos

Been looking over a lot of the girls posted in the forum, and was wondering why so many bad tattoos. It seems like some girls think if one or two tattoos is good then 18 tattoos is great. And the thing that makes it worse is that it doesn't look like the girls go to the good tattoo places.
One or two tattoos such as Bailey Jay (cute little bows are great). However a case in point, one of the girls featured here in the forum has a tattoo that takes up half her back (it pictures a semi-truck and I swear to God, I think it says "keep on truckin"). I want to send her money to get her on the TV show that covers up bad tattoos just because I feel so bad for her (must have been some drunken evening to pick that tattoo out).
Mint has a nice tattoo just below her navel.
Bailey, too.
Rafaela Ninfeta has a nice little one....

Ask me about my parents' abuse.
Truth be told, I just want my left arm redone into a full sleeve. I don't hate my other ink. Some of it I even love.

So other people who aren't you should do what you like because out of the 7 billion people who also live on this orb you're the only one who has the inside track on taste? Got some science to back that shit up? Or do you think you're going to change someone's mind about tattoos because the power of your boner's judgement is just that powerful?
BTW the person with the truck tattoo... she's Mandy Mitchell, more than likely 10 times the person you are, (piano skills alone...) Best do some research before you come into our house and start judging folks left and right.
You're opening line could easily read, "Been looking over this non-sentient property I have a right to judge..."

Ms. French:
Are you honestly telling me that you find the truck tattoo in question attractive? I would bet you can't tell me that with a straight face.
I would assume that if we asked Ms. Mitchell that she in hindsight might have chosen a different design. BTW if something is put on display, I have a perfect right to offer my opinion on it. In my original post I did not want to name someone I was using as a cautionary example. And granted you are correct Ms. Mitchell may be 20 times the person I am, but it is obvious to almost everyone that I have better taste in tattoos.

Glad you pointed t(h)at out. I think a lot of girls, when they are finding their way, suffer from extreme body dysmorphia, which may manifest in tattoos, bodybuilding, excessive weight loss etc. Usually once they have come to understand that the real cause of their discomfort is that they are transsex they become more focussed, and work to be the women they are.
Body art is almost certainly the oldest visual art form humans have, and it can be very beautiful. It's true that some tats are better than others; however what happened to the 'nothing nice to say, say nothing' rule?
Personally I find what some women (not just transwomen either) have done to their noses far more problematic (again, by no means all) but I try to avoid commenting on them in such a way that they could be identified; it's her body, her face and once it's done it's done.

Spot on. I agree.

to the OP...you have to realize that some people love ink, either getting it or gawking at it, therefore if you don't like their look, just move on to another model without it. any choice made by a model is hers and you don't have to consume her porn if you don't want to.
perhaps rather than criticize a model for her choice in ink, you should voice your opinion with producers for signing them. at least then you are criticizing a business decision rather than a personal one.

I think my original question was why so many "bad" tattoos on trannys, and one of the above posters likely lurched into one of the major factors: extreme body dysmorphia. That would explain their desire to cover their bodies in "ink." However, it would not explain the poor quality of many of the tattoos (regardless of subject matter). The girl with the giant semi-truck on her back looks like it was done at the local juvenile hall. If you are going to get inked up at least spend the money to have a decent artist do the work.
As to Ms. French, glad to hear you are living the dream sweetheart. I will have to engage your services one of these days (but only after you have FFS and up the dose of your lithium). I suppose in addition to being unable to comment on inappropriate body art, that I also shouldn't comment on some people's bipolar reaction to such criticism.

There are a myriad of reasons why a person in general, not just a transsexual, gets bad ink. Just watch a show such as "Tattoo Nightmares" and you'll see why.
There are some really bad artists giving tattoos out there...but there are also some awesome ones too. Clearly,you have to shop around.
Body dysmorphia "might" be one small reason some people do it...but I don't believe that's a major reason...there are memorials, totems, family traditions...and simply because some people like the art.
Tattoos can be beautiful (to me anyway)...and since most people on this site are really only familiar with transsexuals in the adult entertainment industry..I would say that many entertainers in the industry get ink...not just transsexuals...as a matter of fact , not just people in the adult entertainment industry...but entertainers - period. Why?...because they can.
I plan on getting some soon. Just found an artist I like.Some would think it's a little late in life for me....I think it's the perfect time...for me.

I personally find that tattoos can be very sexy - in that they suggest, in some respects, a sense of transgression. I met a girl from Belgium (now retired) a couple of years back. She had a scatter of stars across her shoulders that just worked a wonder. Very attractive and sensual.

I'm gonna have to side with Prospero here. A sensual tattoo can go a long way on a GG or TS for me, but if I can't see any skin at all that's not attractive to me. I guess I like them to accentuate the female physique. I also have a full sleeve myself so no hate. But I will never be getting anymore on me. Mine is a coverup of a bad tattoo from a more innocent time in my life.

If we back away from the issue of whether the tattoos are good ones or bad ones, it can be argued that TS's are more comfortable with changing their body in general than the regular population. Therefore, they're going to have tattoos and such.

I often really like tattoos on women (gg or tg), even if it covers large areas. The ones they regret, such as shotty ones done by amateurs, are unfortunate. When its all said and done, if they are happy with it, then thats what matter.

I don't think the op was out of line. I have seen some bad tattoos. It just happens. I had friends who wanted a tattoo and got a horrible one. My brother wanted tattoo and it was horrible. It was very meaningful, but it was horrible. A bad tattoo is a bad tattoo. Sadly, not every tattoo artist is equal and not many people prior to going to a tattoo parlor will know the quality of the artist or the circumstances of the tattoo's quality. I do think if you are considering a tattoo, take the time to find someone whose quality is amazing. You get a tattoo, its one for life. I still feel sorry for my friends who have their ex names tattoo on their body or who did it on a whim.

What some people think is a horrible tattoo, other people might think its an amazing tattoo and vice versa. It's really in the eye of the beholder. I can look at person's tattoo and think "why they do that?" but I imagine the meaning of the tattoo is special to them and only to them.

can we define what type of tats we are talking about....
is 'bad ink' a terrible tattoo such that it looks like a blind parkinsonian retard did it?
is 'bad ink' too many tats? (how defines to many?)
is 'bad ink' improper placement? (who defines "improper"?) or
is 'bad ink' just a matter of opinion, i.e. you think a girl getting a truck as a tramp stamp is a bad idea?
short of just fucked up art because the artist sucked, 'bad ink' is too subjective.

I don't know...generic, cliche tats like leopard spots, paw prints, stars are bad ink. Text tats are bad ink - trite, hackneyed sayings or bible verse or something. Don't expect me to read you, they're not that deep. Tats on the face or neck are pretty bad - there were pics of a Colombian girl in some other thread that had the Luis Vuitton design covering her whole neck front to back. Pretty awful and completely superficial. Then again maybe this is just my opinion. :shrug

I don't have any tattoos. But, well, it's personal choice. And, too, people don't, I assume, get tattoos to impress others. Again, it's personal; it's done to placate oneself.
Jenna Jameson has some interesting tattoos. And she got them exclusively for her.

Body art is art and comes in exactly the same range, from badly done to well done, that's seen in any other form, and provokes exactly the same range of reactions. It's about taste, and that is a conditioned response; you like what your culture conditions you to like.
A lot of body art is about screwing with that cultural conditioning. When you make statements about yourself that challenge the received view, which is, in the West, that tattoos are something that working-class men wear, then you're setting yourself apart and carving your own space.
I have a female friend who has one huge tattoo that runs from the back of her neck and coils round her body to her feet. Both she and it are incredibly beautiful and she certainly is not trashy!
But she is saying 'I'm different'. Conservative cultures that place high value on conformity to group profile, find that sort of thing very hard to take.
Personally I am a wee bit surprised, that on a board which is dedicated to flouting gender-normative social conservatism, anybody bats an eye about another expression of difference. Iconoclasts unite!

Not anymore she isn't. Nowadays if you don't have tattoos you're different. I know very few people under the age of 35 that do not have at least one.
With that said, I have 2 half sleeves and 5 others and not a single one is visible in jeans and a button up shirt. That's my thing though, my tattoos are really for me and no one else unless I choose to share them.

The way I looked at it all these years was that if the owner of the body art was happy with it and I the beholder of the ink was not a victim of sensibilities that found fault only at body art a "scar" rather than access its beauty.
Any rate, my personal take is that would be eventually humilated by my tatoo choices (my fear) and at any rate my fears are quickly proven by polyester, Platform shoes, and those other relics of the fashion of the momen
This just means I not all the crazy about tats on myself since I fear so many fades, I will be this centuries "hip hugger jumbo bellbottoms" expressed in a decent four color job and I end up wearing long sleeves however.
So when it comes to person tats, no thanks. If I wanted you to be the head hostess geared tats would cause biz issues. But naked?
They tell a story, the person put a lout of thought into it. It is part of who they are and I support that.

Oh,no, I can absolutely assure you that she definitely is making a considered statement. For a society girl from rural Ireland, who was educated in a convent, any ink would be a statement; having it head to foot is a major one. (As a matter of fact, everything she does is a statement, but that might be a little too much for you.)
However, you do not know her and therefore are totally unqualified to pass comment on her actions or motives.
Despite that, like certain others here, you decided to comment on something you had no knowledge of, and now have egg on your face, to go with the ink.
As to your broader suggestion, implicit and badly defined though it is, that being tattood has become a symbol of group conformity rather than otherwise, well, that has always been the case and remains so, but it is completely dependent on the culture and peer group. In some cultures, wearing tattoos is obligatory; in others it is reviled. Even if you were able to prove that wearing ink were universal amongst Americans under the age of 35, this would still be less than ONE PERCENT of world population. To make the kind of assertion you did on such a small base is silly.
Just because something has a specific meaning in one peer group means nothing outside that group or culture. Unfortunately, this is often overlooked.

In the porn scene for trans girls I have to say Dubai takes the prize for worst tattoo ever with the set of eyes right above her cock. Bella Bellz isn't trans but she has an awesome tattoo. Most tattoos in general are awful though. People get the most uninspired generic cheap designs (If you have tribals or kanji chances are you have awful taste) plastered over their body and they usually have no depth or interesting meaning to them. I'm not against getting a tattoo personally, but I can't think of anything I would want permanently stained on my skin. And there are certainly people with cool tattoos that are admirable, but it's a rarity.
