Hi! You don’t need to lose weight to get tattooed! It is not easier to tattoo thin people! In fact it’s *harder* to tattoo loose skin (such as after weight loss)! Tattoos don’t have to be something you earn only if you lose a certain amount of weight

Big tattooers openly refusing to tattoo dark skin because it “doesn’t work with their style” is disgraceful and shouldn’t be supported in this community. You’re making the choice to not tattoo/change your style for darker skin. 🙃

This is a cross stitch piece that’s 2.5 years healed. 💕 I’d been hesitant to post a healed pic before now (aside from the one I did on myself) bc posting “healed” pics that are only a few months old is misleading. I get asked a lot about these, so here it is, 2.5 years later ✨

Y’all if your tattooer asks you to get undressed for a tattoo where you could easily just lift up your shirt, pant leg, etc, you should run. Even back pieces I have clients wear a button down backwards. Sternum have them wear a loose top, or a bralette that can be easily moved
