Well, those are some explicit tattoos! Although I suppose it’s nothing you couldn’t find written on a t-shirt at Target.
UPDATE: For more information, here’s an interview with Michelle.

I’d be happy to ask her to do an interview — if anyone has specific questions you’d like me to include, please let me know.
I’d want to know if these were chosen as part of a D/s thing (something she was ordered to do) or if she got (some? all?) of them independently of that. How much input does she have into getting them, if they are a D/s thing?
I’d also like to know whether she tends to be in relationships with dominant men, or if she tends to submit to both women and men (since some people have been waving words like “kajira” around in here.)
you and your tattoos are very beautiful and i think you
should be seen in more detail as in doing one of my films.
my name is shawn and i’m starting up a small production
company with my friend and some of the movies we will be doing are mainly adult and horror, so i would love to get your email or your snail mail address.
Why is it that death is more accepted than sex in Western Culture.
If she had an image of a corpse tattoo’d on her, there would not be much of a stir. If she has sexually related “degrading” statements on her body, then it is unhealthy.
I didn’t realize having an obsession with sex was much more taboo than being obsessed with death, and things that are dead.
It is her choice to allow these statement to be on her body. You only have a bit of time in your body, why not adorn it as you may…
Haha, I love posts that get everyone all riled up. Silly rabbits 😀
She seems happy enough with her choice of tattoos so I see no problemos here.
Oh and yes I do have a question for her Shannon, what shampoo does she use? Her hair looks super soft and shiny in the bottom right shot!
I’d love to see Shannon do an interview and I’d also like to see this lady fully clothed. I think the idea that she’s hiding this dramatic a secret identity is interesting if in fact that’s how she presents herself.
I’m very curious, at interview, of the nature of her tattoos. What was the motivation? Is there a message for others or just her and a partner? She could be submissive or dominant. I could see spinning the identity either way, “Are you man enough to fuck my whore ass?” as much as “Please, please, please, fuck my whore ass.” The dynamic is the interesting one to me if we do get to ask about it.
How do the tattoos effect her non-playtime activities (ie. work, school, family life), if at all?
These and their logical follow-ups could be the makings of a decent interview, I think.
I agree w/ moddoctor. I would like to know what her motivations were. I’m also a bit curious about the time frame. How long did she plan before getting them? Was there a master plan, or is this the result of a series of more spontaneous events? How long has she had the scarlet ‘A’?
I’m assuming the rainbow armband and chest piece came before the tattoos causing all the ruckus. How do they tie in? Are all of these tattoos part of a greater political statement or are they more like a roadmap of her life?
I could go on for a while, if I come up with more I’ll avoid spamming the forum and send them to the man himself.
personally i think its genius. i read it as a play on the whole concept of a whore- what is a whore? can you really define it as morally wrong? if so, why such a moral sin? because people shouldnt have a lot of sex? why not?
As for the belly scar discussion — I’m sure it’s a tummy tuck. It matches the scars from her breast lift.
I interpret this to be that she’s expressing ownership of her own body, same reason a lot of people get mods, ownership of one’s own skin. A woman’s “worth” and sexuality are interminably linked. Some people are reacting to this by assuming that she must have a low self-esteem, or that it’s misguided feminism or that she must be a total whore. I could be wrong but I see it as a feminist statement. It’s ironic that it is empowering. The tattoos maybe vulgar but women are still made to feel ashamed if they like sex. If you like it too much you’re a whore or a slut, if you don’t like it enough you’re a prude. Because of all these negative connotations, female sexuality is still linked with shame or what society thinks women ought to be ashamed of. But if we are all sexual beings, why should women be ashamed?
i feel bad for unattractive trashy women that wear shirts that say things like “sexy bitch” or the like.
i don’t even know how i feel for this woman. bad doesn’t even begin to explain it…
just one ridiculously tawdry tattoo like that could be passed off as “empowering”….but that many? i imagine it would have a negative impact on one’s mindset after a while…much like those individuals that get “stupid” or various other demeaning tattoos done…
Exactly, milquetoast!
I don’t think stuff like this is inherently feminist, but I think it can be. I don’t think stuff like this is inherently anti-feminist or degrading either… I think there’s a lot more we have to know before we decide this is degrading or anti-feminist. If we knew her and knew she is a sad attention seeking person from more than cursory observation, okay… but we don’t. I tend to assume people have positive motivations until I have reason to believe they don’t.
[i]“why assume she has any sti’s? don’t worry about it. isn’t it obvious that if she HAD any she’d just tattoo the titles on her body… jeez.[/i] – Haha funny shit.
Yeah I don’t like the tattoos and the chick isn’t even that good looking. Lettering tattoos are probably my favourite style but I prefer more positive messages. (For myself and ‘spectators’.)
^
i was just annoyed by people’s fast thoughts about her having diseases. the day you can look at someone and tell they have an std is going to be a happy day.
She has the signs of someone who’s had gadtric bypass surgery. the tummy tuck, the excess skin in spots, some scars on her breasts from minor augmentation. Those are drastic changes. You’ve gotta be a big girl to even be considered for that surgery, then to do all the followup surgeries and such. there’s a big toll on health, but a bigger one on self-preception. It really sends your brain through one hell of a loop. I just wonder about where she is mentally in her preception of herself. I also wonder if that preception will change as she gets used to her body in it’s new form. (i say new becasue to my untrained eye, those scars look like they are less then 2 years old.) I don’t want to be on the negative boat, it’s her body, if that’s what she wants yay her, but I hope she dosne’t ever have to regret those.
I’m not ashamed that I like sex, BUT, I am ashsmed of some of my past actions when I let my self worth be dictated by my desirability to men, and in turn I let them take advantage of me.
I don’t think women’s should be ashamed of sex, but I also don’t think they should stop being discerning about who they sleep with. Power games as part of a sexual expierence= fun! A feeling of power being the reason to have sex = bad!
I guess I think it’s stupid to be flippant about sex when consequences run so high. HIV, pregnancy, cervical cancer, death…
Her body, her choice.
Like it or lump it
Jesus TITTYFUCKING Christ, that’s wierd!
The question “How many commenters have been to play parties and the like?” keeps popping into my head. Because that environment is a place where a lot of people show off, and that’s what this reminds me of. A lot of people let their hair down and call themselves sexual things, write them on themselves, etc. because while they might not want to advertise their kinkiness/exhibitionism to the whole world, they know that the group they party with or the local club is an environment where there’s less risk.
It’s true that, in my experience at least, play parties are usually more about SM activity for its own sake than genital sex, so the fact that her tattoos are about genital sex might mean I’m wrong. But when I look at her, I don’t necessarily see “not discerning.” I imagine someone dressed normally who walks into the (relative) safety of the local club, gets naked, and revels in all eyes being on her and all denizens fantasizing about her.
I could of course be wrong — but I still say this is subcultural and not a way of advertising to anyone. I think it’s meant to be seen by other BDSMers who understand exhibitionism and the fetish for being passed around/used, not by everybody.
I’m almost 100% certain that tinityva is correct.
WOW! This image sure is a Rorchach Test. I cannot believe the BS that this image brings out in people.
I took a copy of this image and shown it to five guys I know. Some liked it, some did not. It was the reaction that suprised me. All five got hard ons. One said every time he thought about that tattooed woman he got one, and he did not even like the tattoos.
Just maybe she got these tattoos to please her man and turn him on. If you look in her eyes, she has the look of someone in love and she looks happy. The scalet letter indicates she is also possibly well educated. So leave her alone.
Hell, I wish I was that in love to let someone tattoo sexy words all over my body.
I’d like to comment on the point raised about how tattoos like this would effect potential rape trials.
The only time I can see a defense lawyer successfully using claims that she was a slut, therefore it was concensual, would be if there was so physical evidence that a crime had actually taken place, like if the rape had happened years before. Most rape cases that make it to court, have evidence other than the word of the victim.
I don’t think it’s right to say that unfortunately we live in an unjust world, therefore we have to be careful not to seem to invite injustice.
I hope Shannon can get an interview. It would be interesting to know how much time she spent planning the tattoos before she got them, and if she has plans for any more (explicit or otherwise).
Personally, I think she looks great.
I think Claire is on to something. I find these tattoos revolting and sexy at the sametime.
What’s with all the feminist rhetoric. Hasn’t anyone been paying attention. The New York Times the purveyor of all things left wing has declared feminism deader that a door nail.
This woman is cutting edge. She is submissive and loving it.
What can I say, The Story of O made me cry. haha But good for her, she looks happy and truly to each THEIR OWN!
Does she like vets?
pro comedian?
Eh, she’s a nasty fucking skank. Good for her. Keep it away from me.
But I AM thoroughly amused by the hot pink jack-o-lantern
i agree with comment 169
Blink and you’ll miss it. Oh. I did. 183 style!
I am the girl in the pics. I love my ink and revel in teh statment I make. I am very happy with what I have done and plan to do more. No need to feel “sad” for me. Freedom of expression is a right I hold quite dear. I m not in a D/s relationship. Actually, I am married to the adult actress, “bisexualbritni”.

PS. The lower scar came from a cancer exploratory surgery and the the tits were done after masectomy. I have never had an STD. Imiginations sure run rampant around here. Nothing like a real brush with death to assist in you deciding other people’s opinions do not make a shit and one should live their own life for their own reasons. Yes, I am educated. I have a masters degree in English.

PS. I have never weighted more then 145 and cerainly did not have a gastric bypass. LOL
Michelle,
Thanks for stopping by.
It’s really interesting, isn’t it, how many of us — including me, at least a little, and I’m also a bi woman — focused on thinking about you with men, despite all the lesbian-themed tattoos. Really says something about heterocentrism and heterosexism that few of us wondered if, say, your primary partner is a woman.
fucking nasty ass whore body
I love her chestpiece! Did anyone else notice that the women’s hair matches her hair color? Beautiful.
This little column from 2002 features Michelle’s girlfriend.
Guess they all (including Michelle’s husband) are a kinky trio.

PS. a little bit about the nature of the relationship. i think its clearer that michelle probably got these tattoos in the context of her private/sexual life, even though she is willingly showing them off to the public.

pps. last comment. another google find: don’t know how true this is, but it appears (and thus confirming people’s skepticism about michelle’s sense of self-worth) that she is a sex addict. http://www.lukeisback.com/stars/stars/michelle.htm
hmm,i never even noticed the scar…but anyway,i understand people’s concerns but,on the otherhand,i didn’t understand people calling this woman all out her name just because she got a tattoo that isn’t someone elses cup of tea.
and finally a very revealing myspace with blog entries….. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=34217052
the tattoos appear to be a manifestation of much deeper issues……
What the hell did you do, google her so you could try prove her wrong about the history of her own tattoos?
I’ve just posted a quick interview with Michelle on BME. Thanks to Michelle for helping out!
I think she’s beautiful and her tattoos are as well. I’m just afraid that too many people are going to messager her on AOL/Yahoo now, thinking she’s going to have sex with them. If she wants to do that, more power to her! I hope everything with her wife turns out okay, with handling the sex addiction though.
“and finally a very revealing myspace with blog entries…

honey,you have way too much time on your hands if you go looking for links to articles/webpages tht show how disturbed someone posted here is;it isn’t that serious.
anyway,i meant to say in my other post that i actually see nothing wrong with her tattooes because they are no worse than some other tattoes that i’ve seen on here.if that’s how she feels about herself,and as long as she’s comfortable with them then i say,”Go on Gurl!!”
Some guys are always ragging about how women should come with instruction manuals.
There’s one now 🙂
I saw the original photos in Modblog, and decided not to comment. Now that I’ve read the article, I guess I can offer my own $.02. The tattoos, and the intreview, make me feel a little melancholy. An addiction, any addiction, is a sad thing. To be obsessed about sex to the point where it destroys your relationships, your career, and everything else in life that you enjoy, that’s depressing to me. To not be able to get help for it because of an understandably skewed mental health care system (understandable because most confessed sex addict are men; health care follows the patients) makes it even worse. I can understand trying to deal with something that bothers you through body art and pain therapy; I’ve done it myself. What I’m seeing now when I look at the photos is a personal history of pain and emotional trauma.
But that’s what my personal reaction. If this allows her to hold on to her sanity, and either deal with her addiction or come to terms with it, I certainly have no right to tell her it’s wrong.
Michelle, if you are reading these, I’m curious: you stated that you had sought mental health treatment for this. What options have you explored? Is there a possibility of a nuerological (rather than a psychological) reason for this? If you have tried them, do drugs intended to treat OCD help? I know that some psychoactive medications greatly reduce libido (zyprexa instantly springs to mind, from personal experience); would merely reducing sex drive reduce the obsessing?
I hope that she really is interested in getting the help she needs. I know of at least two treatment centers that take women and I emailed her with suggestions.
On the otherhand, I respect anyone’s choice of sexual acts, but as she says she wishes she does not act this way then I judge it to not be good for her.
I think that if she does get treatment she will regret these tattoos, but then again thats what great cover ups are for.
this woman is fasinating and totally re-enforces my beliefe that all anyone really wants in life is to live in a totally uninhibited way.
life seems more and more like alice in wonderland everyday, and repression and judgement is a waste of time.
although her tattoos scare me…
peace pass around girl, i respect your art work
I find it sad honestly, but thats just the way i perceive it.
If it makes her feel better then i guess ok fine.
she sounded somewhat proud and contrived in the interview though which makes me wonder on her sincerity of really wanting help.
