Blue Blood

What it is and what it costs

Blue Blood is a paid membership for counterculture erotica: gothic, punk, tattoo, fetish and fandom photography, plus fiction and a community area. The home page describes it as "elite counterculture lifestyle and erotic media for iconoclasts" and says the brand has been running since 1992. The join page sells a single pass, titled the "VIP Mega Pass", that opens Blue Blood and its sister sites together instead of selling each one separately.

The pass has two shapes. One is a monthly membership that renews. The other is a year membership that does not. Both are paid, and the pages describe no free tier for the photo sets themselves. What a visitor can read without paying, once the age prompt has been passed, is the home page, the About page, the terms and the join page.

The site is a photo-first product. The pages talk about sets, pictures, written fiction and a members' community, and they describe no video content, mobile app or streaming resolution. Anyone expecting a video network should read that silence as a real limit of what the pages promise.

Paying and stopping

Billing is outsourced. The join page says rebilling can be canceled "via CCBill or Epoch which are our designated E-ticket supplier and access management providers." The terms page widens the list: it names Zombaio, CCBill or Epoch as the designated E-ticket supplier and access management provider. The two pages therefore do not agree on how many processors are involved, and the pages do not say which one handles a given purchase. A buyer who wants to know in advance should ask through the support ticket system before paying.

The pages print no billing descriptor. Nothing says how the charge will read on a card or bank statement, so the name that appears is unknown from the pages alone.

In October 2026 the join page listed the monthly route this way: "The standard monthly membership price is $29.96 for first month, rebilling at $19.98 monthly." The alternative is "a discounted year membership for just $99.94", described as an option "for a whole year membership with no rebilling." The year plan is the only one the pages call non-recurring.

Renewal is stated plainly: "All trial and/or monthly memberships renew unless canceled, but you may cancel at any time using the support links." That sentence mentions trial memberships, but the join page offers none, so the first-month price is the entry offer, and it converts into the lower monthly rate. The join page adds that canceling rebilling is something a member "can and should do for yourself at any time you desire", through the processor links rather than through a Blue Blood ticket. Ordinary support, such as login or navigation trouble, goes through a ticket instead.

Refunds are the gap. Neither the join page nor the terms mention a refund, a money-back window or a pro-rata policy, so a buyer should assume nothing about getting money back after a charge goes through.

Payment methods are broad. In October 2026 the join page named Visa, check cards, Discover, Bitcoin, LiteCoin, DogeCoin, GiroPay, Sofort, iDeal, JCB, Maestro and online checks among others, and the top of the page lists "Alternative Billing Options" that include a checking or savings account, PayPal, EU debit and the three coins. The page also states a twenty-five dollar fee for any bad check or card charge. The terms invite suggestions for payment methods the site does not take yet.

Account, data and the site's rules

Sign-up details are thin. The pages do not list the fields a join form asks for. The privacy section says that clicking the payment link sends the buyer to a secure server "used exclusively for billing and nothing else", and that the billing providers were chosen for their security systems. The policy says "Your financial information such as credit card or bank numbers will never be transferred."

Other customer data is treated differently. The same paragraph says it "may be a transferred asset", with the example of Blue Blood buying a site and giving that site's members access to Blue Blood sites, or the reverse. The site may also email for customer service or news about events, sales and related items, and the policy points to an unsubscribe link and a reply-to-the-receipt option to stop that mail.

The terms set a few conditions on members. The site is for adults, and visitors affirm they know the laws and community standards where they live; the terms say that in most places this means being over eighteen. Passwords are not to be shared, because "pricing is on a per person basis." Bulk-access software and browsing assistants are barred, with the reason given as server strain and hosting cost. The images and text are copyrighted, and the terms say statutory damages per image may apply to a violation. Any issue pertaining to the site is to be heard in Los Angeles, California, the terms add.

On age and consent, the terms say: "All models were of legal age at the time of shooting. Proof of age showing models were 18 years of age or older and proof of copyright is on file." The pages use no federal record-keeping label and name no custodian of records. People who want to appear on the site are pointed to a separate photo site, where paperwork is required.

The pages name no operating company. The terms say Blue Blood is a registered trademark, used continuously in art and commerce since 1992, and the About page describes the brand as independent, with no corporate funding. That is a description of the brand, not a named legal entity.

In October 2026 the front page loaded 0 third-party domains and made 78 requests of its own, with no ad network named and no redirect to another site on load.

What the membership holds

The counters repeated at the foot of every page read "Hotties: 608 Sets: 2457 Pics: 177800". Older text does not match them: the home page promises "more than 100,000" photos and the About page says the site holds "more than 103670 images". The footer counter is the largest of the three, and the pages do not explain the difference.

The home page calls the offer "Daily updates, active community, intelligent commentary, high quality fiction by name genre authors" and photography by named photographers. Those are the site's claims, and the pages give no update schedule beyond the word "daily".

The site is laid out by interest: gothic erotica, punk rockers, hot couples, art and tattoos, counterculture cool, fandom fun, fetish fantasy and erotic fiction, with a community posts area where contributors share pictures and news. The pass reaches beyond the main site. The join page says it opens "all the amazing content" from sister sites including Erotic Fandom, Gothic Sluts and Rubber Dollies, "and much more, all for the price of just one regular site membership." The About page explains the lineage: the brand began as a magazine, and the sister sites were spun off around the turn of the millennium and later gathered under the one domain.

Who it suits and who it does not

This suits a buyer who likes alt-culture photography and fiction and wants one pass covering several themed sister sites, and one who values a year option with no rebill. It also suits someone who prefers to stop billing without writing to the site, since cancellation runs through the processor links.

It suits less well a buyer who needs to know the statement descriptor before paying, a buyer who wants a refund promise in writing, or one who wants video, apps or streaming. The processor list differs between the join page and the terms, and the pages are silent on refunds, which are real caveats.

In its favor, the join page states its price ladder and its renewal rule in one place, it tells members to stop rebilling themselves at the processor whenever they like, and the brand carries a distinctive editorial voice that it says it has kept since 1992.
