The victim?

Patrick's American Flag tattoo on the small of her back.

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.”

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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