Posts Tagged ‘Tattooed’

It’s funny how a few years back, a girl with ink this extensive would have seemed a lot more radical. Don’t get me wrong, she looks really sexy, but it does beg the question about what it takes to pass the threshold of ‘alternative’ these days. Are we looking for an ever changing edge or are we just cultural fetishists? However, people into alt do tend to enjoy nicely done skin art and this looks like an enjoyable sample of the form. Personally, I like a more dangerous looking variety of hot naked girls, but we do enjoy the sexy girls of PunkGrl.com none the less. Even if their definition of punk is a bit loose, they do have a nice site with lots of great stuff to check out. That background image is really cool too, I need to find me some of that.

I was looking around at the blogs and this entry from the Spookylinks site caught my eye (I hope they don’t mind I grabbed it, some people are so touchy these days). It got me thinking about the mainstreamification of some of the tropes of Alt. Tattoos have become synonymous with AltPorn, since they are the most immediately identifiable attribute on a nude performer, to a general audience eye anyway. It’s gotten to be a lot like porn from the 70’s where every blonde was “Swedish.” On the one hand great ink can be a beautiful and intriguing thing, But I’ve also heard perfectly amazing looking goth girls say they don’t think any of our A-List sites would accept them because they don’t have enough (or any) tattoos, even though a lot of the sites have no ink requirements. A few do, but certainly not all of them.

My fear is that if all of Alt gets boiled down to ‘has tattoos’ we will lose sight of the real foundation of the genre. It’s supposed to be about being independent (for reals) and taking an artistic creative approach to subculture (or counterculture if you ask BlueBlood) and not limiting yourself to becoming a mockery of what you had set out to create. This is something all culturally based art struggles with, but for the sake of not filibustering, lots of people are covered in ink these days, but not all of them embody what Alt set out to be about. That said, there are some really hot college girls and maybe the pioneers of AltPorn have all made it more likely that we will see the kinds of guys and girls we really like performing on an even wider range of sites.

Roxy is one of the best examples of the girls of Alt. She didn’t just play dress up one day to be cool on teh intarwebs. She really is wild girl into all sorts of creative projects and the Blue Blood crew has shot some of the most amazing stuff of her. I love her clothes and makeup, and the weird green fuzzy room is perfect for her. Her body looks fantastically sexy in these too! I can always count on Blue Blood to have some great stuff. These were shot for their Barely Evil site, but you actually get access to all their sites when you join the main Blue Blood one.

I love Sun Karma! She has such a unique and intriguing style and her body just rocks. This spooky gothy velvet and lace themed set from Blue Blood shows her great ink (and great tits) and really captures her intimate persona well. I love the way they shoot a bunch of the undressing part too, teasing and showing peeks of tattooed skin through the black lace panels of the dress. It’s very creatively done. A lot of sets on a lot of sites are just ‘girl takes off clothes’ the end. They are very matter of fact. But the photographers make these more sort of fun and seemingly interactive with the viewer.
