I was kind of a fan before those godaddy commercials made her look like just another skank

Then I became not just a fan but an uber fan. :->

Agreed. To me, tramp stamps scream: “I am a promiscuous slut and probable carrier of STDs.”

[WakeUpAndVote]

You beat me by 30 seconds.

Some of these are attractive, some aren’t. Personally I’d want a really, really, really close look before I pronounced judgment.

[mnehring]

Bill,
Knowing you, I think you’ll want hands-on analysis of the evidence. :->

“...I’m certainly glad she loves her country enough to have Old Glory tattoo’d on her...”

Just as long as we forego the jokes about patriotism and standing at attention and saluting.

[Mr Rogers]

Oh come on! Nothing quite says “Class!” like a tattooed tit...or rear end, or arm...

Here in Georgia we call them “Panama City license plates”

I have a lovely tattoo, it’s a reminder of who I am. If you think it’s trashy, I could care less. It is covered most of the time, but it is me. It’s not a cute tattoo, it’s a reminder that you had better watch your back, I am a ruthless hunter and a protector of those I love. A subtle hint that I can take plenty of pain, so back off! When it is showing it is probably a sign that I am not to be tinkered with.

Thank you Cinnamon Girl. I agree. Wait until it fades.

In other words, you are most FReeper guy's ideal mom/girlfriend/wife/friend. :->

I’ve seen other images and it looks a lot better than this image makes it look like. It has a lot of shading to appear flying.

Does SI routinely airbrush tattoos off of their models overall? Or was it just this one tattoo? If they airbrush off all tattoos then I see no evidence of bias or reason for complaint.

[mnehring]

I’ve seen other SI models with ink that wasn’t airbrushed.

[Tanniker Smith]

I’m fine with the airbrushing. Hate those tatoos, even if it was the American flag. She looks better without it.

[arealconservativeforachange]

That’s why we have condoms.

[hotshu]

Were any of your neighbors hiding ink under their sweaters? ;}
