Beautiful Ink with Margaret Cho

Guest columnist Margaret Cho writes….

I was reading Marisa DiMattia's musings on the eroticness of ink and it inspired me to put some ink of my own down...on paper rather than on my skin. In her September 3 column she stated that she got 561 responses to a survey she did on Tattoos & Sex; Consider me respondent # 562!

Question 1: Did sexual attractiveness play a role in your decision to get tattooed –– that is, did you get tattooed to be more attractive to (potential) sexual partners?

Answer: Definitely. I think tattooed girls are sexy as hell... just look at Marisa!! I want to be tattooed because I think it looks sexy. It is like lingerie that you never take off. It enhances the body and it gives the beholder a view into your rebellious heart. Tattoos are sexier than just plain old skin.

Question 2: If sexual attractiveness did not play a part in your initial tattoo decision, has it ever become a factor afterward? For example, did you later find that more people were attracted to you or that you felt more attractive being tattooed?

Answer: Definitely. I felt way sexier after getting tattooed, and because I felt sexier people responded to me more sexually. It is hot!

Question 3: How do you rate your attractiveness with tattoos?


Answer: More attractive with tattoos. I am way hotter as a heavily tattooed woman now than as a plain untattooed Jane.

Question 4: Do the tattoos of (potential) sexual partners play a role in whether you are attracted to them?

Answer: Often. I am very attracted to tattooed people. They are the most beautiful. I am always pawing heavily tattooed people, pulling off their clothes, wanting to see more ink, more flesh, wanting to hear the stories that are written on their skin.

Question 5: Does the quality of a sexual partner's tattoo work affect your attraction to that person?

Answer: Never. Hmm, I am not sure, maybe. Bad art would be a turn off. I have only seen good ones on the people I want to do it with! Or they are good just because I like them. I am not sure!

Question 6: Has the sexual attractiveness of a tattoo artist ever played a role in deciding whether to get work from that artist?


Answer: Definitely. I am always in love with my artist –– whoever happens to be tattooing me at the time. Whether it is Kat von D or my latest tattoo crush, Mike Davis, I am totally into my artist. You have to be in love with someone who is covered in your blood!


Question 7: If the sexual attractiveness of your tattoo artist was not a factor in your initial decision, have you ever become attracted to your artist during or after getting a tattoo from him or her?

Answer: Definitely. It’s just a sexy experience, having someone who is drawing on you. They are in your personal space. They are opening up your body and putting something in. That is hot!

Question 8: Have you ever become sexually aroused while getting tattooed?

Answer: Definitely. Well, I must say I have a bit of masochism in my nature, so I don't mind the pain at all. I wouldn't say it is as arousing as having a hot, amazing tattoo artist all up on you and breathing on you and everything, but it isn't so bad.


Question 9: Have you ever been brought to orgasm while getting tattooed?

Answer: No Comment. Not yet but I wouldn't rule it out
.

Question 10: If there's an aspect on sexuality and tattooing that you wish to further share your opinion or story, please do so here.

Answer: I just think that people who are tattooed are sexy, and the process is sexy, and art is sexy, and we are sexy!!!
