Wetlook World Forum

For consumers of wetlook: what is your preference on the presence of such?

For producers of wetlook: how does it factor in your model recruitment? Do you think about it? Do you seek out the more "exotic" or do you try to avoid it? What do you understand about your customers in this regard?

For myself, I don't like to see any tattoos or piercings (aside from "traditional" ear piercings). It seems to me that more and more models are appearing in wetlook with more and more body art, and it is reducing the selection of what I would find enjoyable. I've seen some recent photo sets - beautifully photographed, gorgeous model, fantastic outfit, totally ruined in my eyes because the models is sporting some big tattoo, or has some sort of facial piercing. I have come to the point of accepting some things as practically unavoidable now, even though I wish it were not so. Pierced navels, ear piercings other than earlobe, small tattoos at the ankle, for example.

I know that some people like it. I would venture to speculate that younger folks probably appreciate it more than older folks like myself. Is that true?

Is it a social trend that some sort of body art is now an expectation or a rite of passage?

There do seem to be some models who have not acquired any such... are they "bucking the trend" or is it still socially acceptable in that age group (say 18-30) to maintain a "wholesome" look?
