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 ??????? Also I don't consider blurrring a face as a means of false ad ...face blurrring is more of a security issue.....and there is an area to post about Tattoos however location of Tat's is seldom mentioned in reviews ...

It's something that many people have an opinion on, and they are being mislead.

Spinner, I agree, I just saw an ad for porn star Lacey on eros-ny. All of her tattoos were airbrushed out or they were old pics. I saw her in January during AVN here in LV but didn't post a review. Plenty of tattoos and thinner than her eros pics. She looked better 2,3,4 years ago, but I still had a great time with her, but also I don't think I'd see her again.

I disagree. I airbrush my tattoos out because they are very original so I do it for the same reason I leave my face out of photos.

I knew you wouldn't let that one go by Kadi. Hope to see you soon.

Any use of digital editing tools to alter a girl's appearance in her photos is deliberate misrepresentation.  Some guys do not find tatoos on women attractive, and may effect the decision on whether or not to see a lady.

Yes spinner is Wright false advertisement I dont like them anyway Dam people starting to look like Billboards

Kadi, while I feel that altering a photo is altering a photo, since you don't show your face, and your reviews CLEARLY state that you have tattoos, I don't see an issue.  Besides I've seen them

... some people DO have a problem with them.  For these people, you could mention something about them somewhere on your site, but I don't think it's necessary.

I don't think airbrushing or photoshopping is that much worse than intentionally covering tattoos with a wrap or something. Whether airbrushed or not, you can't always see them in a pic.  If it's that important to a guy, he should probably ask.

Someone I saw had a tattoo about a foot and a half long on the back of her leg.  I don't have a problem with tats, but I didn't find it at all attractive.  Still, she gave me one of the best experiences I've had.  Some guys might not have been able to get past it.  Her tat wasn't visible in her pics nor was it mentioned anywhere on her site.

So, is it deceptive?  I guess.  But so are make-up, wigs, and nylons.

of your Tattoo's and a persons name is not that orginal ... where else are you hiding them? ... also as for hiding your face you just posted a pic of your pretty face and incredible body leaning up against your car here on TER .... so your point is ?!?!?!

Uh When exactly did you ever see my tattoos? As far as I know you have never seen me in the flesh nude. As for a name on my arm nope that wasn't what I was talking about. And in the photo i post I am pretty sure my face is hidden behind sunglasses but hell that is pretty normal for me anyway.

Besides what is the difference really it is not like you are taking me home to meet the family? LOL

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 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.)

It is not meerly a matter of the subject of the tattoo (as you mentioned a tattoo of a name not being original)  but placement, colors, the quality of the work ect. that 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 ladie'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.

Tattoos can be art in their own right, but instead of being created on sized and primed, cold, linen canvas, they are created on warm, vivacious flesh, that imbues the art with the life and vibrancy of that living "canvas".

Just as not all paintings are Rembrandts...not all tattoos are "graffiti".

Well said and thank you very much for understanding what I was trying to say.

Some of the Ladies airbrush their tatoos out so they won't be identified by them, just like blurring faces

hey kadi... I remember a million things about you, but I can't for the life of me remember your tattoo.  I must have been focused on other things!

I hope you're doing well...  Take care!

I don't believe that it's false advertising if the lady does blur them out for security purposes but mentions that she has them.  I do know that there are men out there that don't like them and others that do.

Excellent point .... however if a provider shows her face on her ad and still air brushes or hides her tat's what's the point .. there is none ... (nothing more identifible then your face)  she is trying to improve her appearance and hopefully we will (as horney as we are)overlook her tattoo's once we are with her .... now in saying this ... I have nothng against tat's I spent an incredible weekend with Shaye lynn (tatoo girl) from philly ... it's recently I have noticed that many ladies are airbrushing not just tat's which is false ad's in MHO ....

I totally understand how identifiable tattoos make a person -- which is why I have long wondered at how popular they are among the people most likely to have problems with LE. I live in the downtown area, and can't get over how many of the locals who find their occupations in these mean streets have tattoos on their necks.

Appearance is a very important element in the total package, so tattoos should not be totally removed from a provider's picture. Any good tattoo involves fine line work, and can be sufficiently disguised by blurring. Such a retouch is way easier than removal, and a blurred tattoo is certainly less distinguishable than a blurred face.

I'm sure Kadi's intention is not to deceive. But if she has more than one or two small tats, that is indeed the effect.
