im a tattoo collector (??) so as a person with probs a big presence, a tall/big(ger) frame (sz 14~*~**~*~*) and bein black…i hate when ppl complain about tat discrimination (in the west) cos lol
there is judgement and it can suck and be annoying. but all that gets compounded with every like marginalized identity. my tattoos aren’t my biggest issue anymore. not to mention the body mod culture is so frickin gross and oversaturated with whiteness and male dominance.
also everyone has tattoos now…we’re not special. but i get it because i love learning more esp about tattoos in more conservative societies (east asia, specif japan!!) and i love art and i love tattoos lmao but im picky and dont really like the styles that tattoo artists and “collectors” love and appreciate cos im a snob
also i do not want to be called a tattoo collector wtf i didnt know this name jeez lmao
i probably dont like hearing mostly white people talk about the stigma excessively when this is an active choice we have all made. like i can’t change being black, but i did choose to put this on me. so part of that is living with the consequences. the stigma shouldn’t be there and we should have jobs and shit but it’s not like systemic tattoo discrimination. u did this 2 yrself lmao
sometimes i wish i could like cherish the time i had with bare skin. i never knew i’d end up getting any of these tbh and if u had told me when i was younger that i was pretty tatted~ and going to get more i woulda looked @ u like u were NUTSO lmao
