How come it seems that just about all of the models sport tattoos?
These are supposed to be "broke" & "straight" boys. If the don't have a pxxx to pxxx in, how come to can afford expensive (and expansive) tattoos?
Actually, I find some of these large ink-jobs a turn-off.
Are all straight guys like this?
Just wondering ...
Living in Clearwater FL, 4 miles from the sugar white beaches on the gulf of Mexico, I see a pretty large cross section of the population I think. In the summertime, it's locals. Over the winter months, it's people on vacation from up North where they're white and their tattoos are more pronounced. I would estimate that the majority of young guys under 30 have varying and increasing amounts of ink...I'm guessing straight, gay, and anywhere in between based on who I've observed.
Personally I think a certain amount of ink is ok, as long as it's tastefully done and has some sort of rhyme or reason behind it. It starts becoming bizarre and making no sense when there appears to be no rhyme nor reason behind it (i.e.
Mike Robbins who went from some planned out ink which he described to us and explained on one of his old posts), but in
Mike Robbins' case I believe that his increasingly random and bizarre ink jobs were in direct correlation to his escalating personal issues but that is only my opinion of course.
In almost all cases, I think a person's choice of ink or lack thereof is a really personal and direct connection to their life, personality, and statements of self.
If you want to understand more about a person, study his choices of tattoos you will learn many things about him that you may not otherwise know.
Some astute observations may also reveal to you some things that would never be discussed on camera. For example, Mick's military insignia tattoos reveal that in reality he probably really was a young brave military man in real life before ever appearing in front of a camera in a porn studio. In recent years,
Diesal has had the word "
Diesal" emblazoned down his side, which seems to reveal that he accepts the the temporary role as "gigantor" he agreed to play in a very permanent way that people who know him personally will see for decades to come.
Jimmy's complete lack of adornments and ink seem to reflect a conscious decision on his part to let him speak for himself without needing any assistance, and if you ask me I believe that Jimmy treats his athletic body as a temple. You can tell from Jimmy's posture, and just the way he moves that he is a jock through and through.
Of course tattoos can become completely overdone, to the extent that may render some guys completely un-marketable and un-hirable because of it no matter what industry they're aspiring to. And that would go for porn too, I mean how hot would it be to watch a scene where they're having to blur out one or more tattoos throughout the duration of a guy's scenes?
I've always maintained there is nothing wrong with trying out different hairstyles, manscaping, and shaving. It always grows back, at least before it starts going away on its own as some of us age.
Piercings are more permanent, but even they aren't as permanent as ink.
So my only final thought on the subject is that I hope that when they do choose to take the plunge and ink themselves up for all intents and purposes "eternity", I can only say I hope they choose wisely!
