Find all the porn

There was a time when a body adorned with too many tattoos would seriously hinder a career in porn. When Sean Cody, Corbin Fisher, and Fratmen were industry giants, they were churning out clean cut All-American jock types. Models who had colorful artwork or elaborate symbols and designs were considered alternative talent and found work at smaller studios like Chaosmen and Cocky Boys. Big Studios like Men.com, Next Door Male and Falcom worked with established ponstars who had huge fan bases. Many of these pon superstars had unique tattoos that were a part of their porn identity. Unfortunately, there were also some bad ink that detracted from the appeal of certain performers. No matter how you feel about tattoos, if you are a fan of Sebastian Kross, you have to learn to love his bold and color chest tattoo. It is a part of his porn identity and because it is unique artwork that has been around so many years in so many scenes, the tattoo has become iconic ink in the world of gay porn. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Superstar Vadim Black has been crowding the limited real estate of his body with more and more tattoos over the years. For Vadim, the tattoos give his image more of an edge and adds maturity. He's still got the gorgeous face and oozing with sex appeal. If Johnny Rapid had done the same, I don't think his fans will be as receptive, because Johnny's brand is the boy next door and having smooth alabaster skin is the essence of his youthful appeal. Recently, Canadian import William Seed introduced his former stripper pal Malik Delgaty to the gay porn industry and he has been busy churning out forgettable scenes as a strictly top performer for Men.com. Despite his limited sexual repertoire as a gay-for-pay performer, he has become an overnight sensation no doubt because of his chiseled muscular body, handsome face and huge cock. Malik is one of the few strippers I have seen who does not have any tattoos on his body. It will be interesting how he will choose to evolve the longer he stays in the industry. You might have noticed that almost every performer with an Only Fans account, especially the ones from Europe, are covered in elaborate tattoos, from full sleeves, to full legs, to chest, torso and neck. Dustin McNeer and Michael Hoffman are two models that come to mind who have very dramatically covered their bodies with tattoos and completely changed their image. Rhys Sachett is a British import who is also professionally known as "That Tattoo Guy" owing to his unique leg tattoo. Because so many performers have dedicated large surfaces on their bodies to tattoos, one has to work hard in order to stand out. Jakpitz aka Jake Andrich, is a widely popular Only Fans model who is covered front and back all the up to his neck in intricate tattoo art. It certainly helps to set himself apart from so many other muscle models competing for subscribers. His body art is really beautiful and well done and he has set the bar really high. The images in this Iconic Ink gallery were chosen because they belonged to porn stars who have been around for awhile or because for good and bad, they were unique enough to have been noticed and appreciated or disliked.
