| '''Janine Lindemulder''' is a heavily [[Tattoo|tattooed]] [[Porn star|porn star]]. She has a full sleeve of butterflies on her right arm, running up her neck, and a modern old school piece on her left arm. She also has piercings including her [[Nipple Piercing|nipples]] and a [[Horizontal Hood Piercing|horizontal hood piercing]]. She describes her tattoos as symbolic and that she uses them to keep her spirits up when things are down. | | From the Japanese ''horu'' 'to carve, engrave or inscribe' and ''mono'', 'thing'. |

|
| Long considered one of the most beautiful women in porn, Janine got her start in [[1993]] in an Andrew Blake scene that would win her an XRCO award for best girl-girl. She'd also done some mainstream film work before entering porn, but never liked it, saying she preferred the people in porn — ''"I wasn't thrilled with 'legitimate movies'. I didn't care for the people. They were shallow and didn't care about people's feelings."''
| | Executed with ''[[Tebori]]'', the Japanese tattoo artist uses traditional motifs such as peony flowers, dragons or unique ''ukiyo-e'' style human figures to create a tattoo that renders the whole body as a single, symbolic work. Horimono tattoos are also unmistakable by their ''gaku'', literally 'frame', of waves, water or wind swirls surrounding the centre of the tattoo, which gives the ''horimono'' its 'suit' appearance. |

| Janine, born November 14, [[1968]], answered a figure modeling job after high school at age eighteen and almost immediately found herself featured as a ''Penthouse Pet'' centerfold. She went from doing candygram stripping to working at clubs, and then went on to become a '''Vivid''' contract girl. Due to outside pressures, she refused to do hardcore on film, doing only scenes with other women, and while her movies were some of the best selling productions in the adult industry, her refusal to perform with men upset reviewers and viewers, who voted her the runner up to Annabel Chong as 1995's "Worst Female Adult Film Star".
| | ''Horimono'' are also known variously in literature or speech as ''[[Irezumi]]'', ''bunshin'', ''shisei'', ''gaman'' or ''hokuro''. Although many Westerners and Japanese use ''[[Irezumi]]'' to refer to traditional Japanese tattoos, this is technically incorrect since ''[[Irezumi]]'' is a cruder term based on method. As the term ''horimono'' references the art form involved in creating such a tattoo, Japanese tattoo artists and those tattooed generally use the word ''horimono''. |

| The reason that Janine didn't perform with men was out of respect to her husband of eight years, who hated her work and would eventually divorce her in 1996 (and now collects $2,000 a month in alimony from her). She went on to date MTV's Riki Ratchman and a string of other celebrities including Vince Neil — a sex tape of them was "leaked" in 1998. Janine described Vince as a "limp noodle" and hooked up with Ron Jeremy to recover. She also appeared in the ''Blink 182'' video "What's my age again" and was featured in their cover art for ''Enema of the State'' (1999). At about the same time, Janine started to announce her "retirement" from porn (while almost simultaneously signing to ''Digital Playground'' for a series of girl-girl movies).
| | Due in part to the origins of tattoo culture in Japan, its association with [[Geishin]] (penal tattooing), [[Bakuto]] groups as well as present day criminal cultures, most notably the [[Yakuza]], tattoos are still a strong social taboo in Japanese culture. Sadly part of this tradition of taboo is also due to discriminatory practices against the [[Ainu]] whose women wore large facial tattoos and the Hinin and Burakumin who were given tattoos to brand their caste. Wearers of tattoos may be refused service at ''onsen'' (bath houses), hotels, sex clubs and even bars. Part of this practice stems from wanting to avoid trouble with gangs and violent youth, but much more of the prohibition rests on perceived social opinions of difference in Japan and not wanting to make other guests uncomfortable. So even if you are ''gaijin'' (foreign) and tattooed you may still be denied entrance despite the obvious lack of [[Yakuza]] connection. |

| In interviews — including very prominently on the Howard Stern show (she also appeared in his movie ''Private Parts'') — she'd stated that part of her motivation in getting these tattoos was that eventually she'd be thrown out of the industry for them. Below are two typical comments about her from porn review sites at the time:

| :'' "Congratulations to Digital Playground for signing a pushing 40, only works with girls, garishly tattooed, hair as black as a witches' and apparently [[Breast implant|implant]] removed Janine. This should help you make great inroads into the untapped elderly, tattooed, Wiccan lesbian market. For the rest of us, we say, 'Janine? ZZZZZZZZZZZ.'"''

| :''"At least when she was blonde she was halfway attractive... now she's simply hideous with those awful tattoos."''
| |
| | |
| :''"Anybody seen ugly as hell Janine l. lately damn she looks horrible I don't see what digital playground sees in signing their new tattooed trailer trash whore contract star. Why make a comeback to do the same old tired lesbian shit "''

| She retired again in September of [[2002]], due to her upcoming marriage with '''Jesse James''' (of the television shows ''West Coast Choppers'' and ''Monster Garage''). Jesse documented their courtship and marriage — and rocky divorce a year later — in his documentary ''Motorcycle Mania 3''. Jesse dumped her, seven months pregnant, for actress Sandra Bullock. Jesse is also demanding a DNA test to prove the child is his, and has filed a restraining order against Janine due to her physical abuse of him.

| While she had done still photo shoots with men in the past, Janine ''again'' came out of retirement, some say for revenge. ''"I'm free of controlling relationships,"'' she said, returning this time to film her "first" professional boy-girl scene, ''Maneater'' for Vivid. Her scene, originally planned with [[HIV]]-scare quarantined hardcore king TT Boy, now with substitute Nick Manning is getting great reviews... So the tattoos just aren't doing their job yet — or maybe they are, because as much as Janine has her detractors she is both one of the most successful all-time adult stars, and has made some of the best inroads into the mainstream world as well.

Horimono (彫り物, 彫物) is the term used for traditional Japanese tattoos.
From the Japanese horu 'to carve, engrave or inscribe' and mono, 'thing'.
Executed with Tebori, the Japanese tattoo artist uses traditional motifs such as peony flowers, dragons or unique ukiyo-e style human figures to create a tattoo that renders the whole body as a single, symbolic work. Horimono tattoos are also unmistakable by their gaku, literally 'frame', of waves, water or wind swirls surrounding the centre of the tattoo, which gives the horimono its 'suit' appearance.
Horimono are also known variously in literature or speech as Irezumi, bunshin, shisei, gaman or hokuro. Although many Westerners and Japanese use Irezumi to refer to traditional Japanese tattoos, this is technically incorrect since Irezumi is a cruder term based on method. As the term horimono references the art form involved in creating such a tattoo, Japanese tattoo artists and those tattooed generally use the word horimono.
Due in part to the origins of tattoo culture in Japan, its association with Geishin (penal tattooing), Bakuto groups as well as present day criminal cultures, most notably the Yakuza, tattoos are still a strong social taboo in Japanese culture. Sadly part of this tradition of taboo is also due to discriminatory practices against the Ainu whose women wore large facial tattoos and the Hinin and Burakumin who were given tattoos to brand their caste. Wearers of tattoos may be refused service at onsen (bath houses), hotels, sex clubs and even bars. Part of this practice stems from wanting to avoid trouble with gangs and violent youth, but much more of the prohibition rests on perceived social opinions of difference in Japan and not wanting to make other guests uncomfortable. So even if you are gaijin (foreign) and tattooed you may still be denied entrance despite the obvious lack of Yakuza connection.
