Since I’ve written about weird fetishes the last couple weeks, I decided to do something a little more mainstream. Stigmatophilia is a fancy way of saying that a person enjoys giving, receiving, or watching piercings, tattoos, or branding. Scarification is also included in this fetish. In other words, this one may sound creepy, since most of us associate stigmata with Jesus or a horrible Patricia Arquette movie.

Piercings and tattoos didn’t used to be so mainstream. They used to be edgy and more common amongst punk rocker types. I think I’m one of the only strippers I know that doesn’t have any tattoos. A while back, I made a joke on Twitter about the tattoo removal rate in twenty years and how I’m guessing it might be fairly high. It wasn’t a very well-received joke. Anyways…

You can definitely tie stigmatophilia into the S&M category, assuming one or both partners enjoy the pain and power that go with receiving stigmatification and the forced branding of a submissive. Honestly, though, I think the whole piercing/tattoo fetish has become a purely visual one, at least in the mainstream.

Tattoos are fascinating, not only because they’re a specific type of art, but they may reveal a lot about the person. I’ve worked with several girls that have had scar modifications done. If done well, these can look really nice too. I think piercings are a little more trite, personally, just because there are only so many parts that you can pierce on your body and still be somewhat original.

This Fetish Friday post seemed like a good opportunity to feature a couple camgirls that have some amazing body art. I want to thank Airen Star and Emma Ink for allowing me to use their photos!

Airen is an independent alt model, cam girl and purveyor of soft core smut. She is body and sex positive and loves all things pertaining to body modification. When she’s not getting naked on the internet she enjoys baking, reading comic books and doing generally nerdy things. You can check Airen out on Twitter @AirenxStar and on her website, www.airenstar.com!!
