My friend recently got back from Spain where he tells me the escorts there are "branded"
I didn't understand him, I thought he meant they were fat, instead I find out that's how their pimps tattoo prostitutes as a mark of "ownership". The tattoo will often be the pimp's street or even his likeness. The mark might be as discreet as an ankle tattoo, or blatant as a neck tattoo, or large scale font across the prostitute's lower back, thigh, chest, or buttocks.
I've seen girls with markings on their back
