This is the first time I’ve seen color tattoos on dark skin that actually look vibrant and pigmented!!!!!
Once I was talking to a dark skinned lady who told me that she was jealous of my pasty skin because she wants color tattoos, which her artist said wasn’t possible with her skin tone. I sent her to mine, and he proceeded to go off about how dark skin accepts greens, yellows, and white beautifully, and that her previous artist just lacked the skills to use those 3 colors as highlights to make other colors pop more. If you are dark skinned and your tattoo artist says you can’t have bright colors, find a new one.
Right? Only? When I read this book in the first grade it felt like she was ancient. But damn less than 60 years ago schools were still segregated
I double checked her age in case this was an old post still floating around tumblr, but it is correct. She turned 62 yesterday (9/8/16).
Excuse me while I go try to wrap my mind around this now…
