There are alot of excellent looking ladies out there... however, I have noticed that many ladies are having their Tatoo's air brushed off on their gallery pics .... isn't this false advertising ???????
One lady which I have met has the name of her boyfriend or child Tat'd across her shoulder (fairly large).. yet in her pics it's been air brushed off .... your thoughts ?
but instead a way to avoid someone positively recognizing her. A tattoo like that would be a dead giveaway to her real identity so may want to cut her a little slack

Many feel that tattoos are identifying information. Too specific to the individual to provide deniability.
I do think that if a provider has ink it should be stated even if it does not show in her photos.
Then blurring faces. Tattoos are distinctive and some girls don't want to be easily identified.
If it's a concern, read the reviews and/or PM the reviewers to see if the girl has them. If they're very prominant or numerous, they'll usually say. Also, there is a field for tattoos (none, one , few, many), so you can pick a girl without them, if you prefer.
I understand that there is a field for tattoos .. however most reviews don't mention where they are by the reviewer ... and having "RICK" in red over one breast and "SARA" in blue over the other breast can be alarming .. when her pics have them air brushed out and all that her reviews say is that she has 2 tattoos and when you mail her she also states that she has a tat or two ...that's why I question it.. As for blurring faces I don't consider this false ad. but more for security reasons unless she has a third eye in her forehead and most ladies haven't gotten into Tattoo their forehead just yet ... although I haven't seen net michelle or tattoo girl for some time now ...lol....

I agree that it is false advertising, but I don't blame the ladies for airbrushing them out. If TER had wanted to become more indespensible, then all the info we fill out on the profile form would show up along with our review (still trying to find ONE improvement on your re-design, TER). Having only the first reviewer's data on the profile page is a problem. Also, the field that asks for tattoos should include the response option "Yes, very unattractive" much the same way the smoking field gives you the "yes that's all I could smell" response option. TER, please find a way to make these things happen.
Anytime a provider misrepresents her appearance it is false advertising. Airbrushing a tatoo is just as bad as a provider who has pictures that are dated. When I look at a provider in a ad and I go to see her, I expect to see the girl in the picture. Anything that gets misrepresented makes me feel as if I have been ripped off. When you write your review make sure to include the above information so that the next hobbyist that wants to see her can make a better judgement on her appearance.
DA
that if it is ALL about appearance for you, you should just move along and visit the pretty thing with the clear photos showing her face and tats and moles and whatever else.
Not only do I blur and crop and take out my tats on photos, I very intentionally do NOT show clear photos of my personal girlfriend, whom I duo with. If THAT is why you're coming, we don't care to meet you.
Your choice.
Our choice.
Everybody has a choice.
Gotta' love it!
(The following is and edited reposting of a reply I made to the original thread on the Las Vegas Boards.)
There is a reason that tattoos are refered to as identifying marks.
If someone is missing or wanted, or there is an unidentified body the police tend to, as with other physical descriptions, list tattoos, because a person can be identified by them. There was actually a story a number of years ago with an unidentified body where all they had to go on was a tattoo, pictures of it were put in newspapers on the news....and in a very short time the person was identified through that.
Not only the subject matter of a tattoo, but placement, colors, the quality of the work ect. makes them identifiable. No two are exactly alike even if of the same flash, done by the same artist, in the same colors, same placement and at the same time...there are the variations inherant in any work done by hand.
Think about LE using tattoos to identify someone, wouldn't it be even better for them if they are setting a lady up to have not only her website and contact information and pictures with a blurred face to prove it is her...but also images of tattoos. Hard to argue deniability when they have images of one's tattoos to use as evidence. Tattoos can be as unique and as good of proof as fingerprints.
Also, whereas a stranger that has seen a lady's site once, or even a few times, migth not see her in public and recognise her by her tattoos, what about the people coming from the opposite end of it....those that know the lady, friends and family, that have seen the tattoos numerous times, and stumble upon a lady's website? they would most assuradly be able to identify her from those tattoos, and again any deniablity on her part is now gone.
If you do not like tattoos and you see in a review of a lady that states she has tattoos I suggest you ask her about them, or PM one or more of those that have reviewed her asking about the tattoos.
Removing a tattoo in pictures is just as much about security as blurring her face. It is not an involved ruse to get all the tattoo hating guys to see her anyway, so that they will be disappointed when they arrive and see them, and then the session will go less than ideally because of that.
I am sure most ladies would want you to be happy with her appearance knowing that it will effect the session, and be more than willing to share the information you require about any body art...but to expect her to put it out on display for friends, family members and LE to be able to identify her by seems a bit much for you to ask, and more than most ladies would be willing to risk just so you don't have to take the time to inquire.
Just as some ladies prefer to blur their face, some choose to also edit out tattoos, that is their decision, if they feel it is required to maintain their privacy or security, and to think your wants to make a informed choice based on her appearance over-rides her needs of a certain amount of anonymity, is a bit unrealistic, because whereas you can further inquire as to body art if it is an issue for you, it is not an option for her to make that public and not loose some of the safety she is attempting to maintain.
...I've picked several ladies based on their unique, blurry-faced look, but when I met them in person they had normal, non-blurry faces. I was disappointed, of course, but I stayed through the sessions.
I was always enthralled by those girls who did not have a head at all--the pics would be cut off right at the neck. You can imagine my surprise when she opened the door and there would be an actual head perched on her neck.

Your humor has been inspired of late, my arch foe. Loving it.

Use a photo editor
right click the pic and save it..
zoom in for air brushing..
Lordy,
I love the judgemental folk!
I am a die hard "natural" appearance lover, and always thought that I wouldn't enjoy women with tattoos. However, I have met a few people in this business that have made me feel differently about that, and I feel now that tats can look great on someone. Tats to me become an entension of the person, and if they are tastefully done or express something unique to that person, can actually enhance that person's attractiveness to me.
Anyone who would meet someone like yourself, Sola, and say that your tats are tacky is exactly what you said...judgemental. Tacky is a word that will never apply to you, my dear.
I agree that we have more tatoo butchers than we have artists and if they were well-placed that would add to their aura. How many more tity tats or tats just above the crack of a woman's ass can we stand? At least show some orginality.
On a recent trip to one of my favorite go-go's there was a girl with this large odd shaped tat above her ass in the small of her back. From the stage distance I couldn't make out what it was but when she came over for her "gratuity" I asked her to turn around so I could check it out.
I said what is that a Lions head? She responded no it was a cartoon characterization of Christ's face. I looked at again with a horried amazement but sure enough she or the "artist" had created a cartoon characterization of Christ's face on her back.
Now upon seeing that I pondered, could I pound that ass knowing that cartoon Jesus is watching me? I don't think so.
So I completely and 100% agree with and understand how a tat can be identifying however if you have a picture or cartoon of the son of God on your body, I think advance notice is required.
My hairdresser has a medical alert symbol tattooed on her wrist in place of wearing a bracelet.
i think you're right, badly done tattoos are tacky and a sign of lower class, but for those of us that have very nicely drawn tattoos, its a form of art.
Actually, MANY people (from all walks of life) who do not remember my name recognize me by my tattoos. My ink is MORE identifying than my name.
I do agree that there should be a notice posted on a ladies site so that you are forewarned, as I do. If it is a concern of yours a polite inquiry as to the size and subject of the tattoos is not out of line.
