A WW tattoo “artist” got on the internet crying bc a client cursed her out for spelling the tattoo wrong, come to find out, not only did the client not do that, but the “artist” basically sliced that girls arm open.
@Imani_Barbarin Since ppl act like they can’t post a pic…
@Imani_Barbarin What’s even worse is keloid scars are more common in some populations so causing more injury like that could increase keloid scars— which are incurable
@Imani_Barbarin This page on IG is how I find black and brown tattoo artists. This page is legit and also gives tips on how to spot scammers and unsafe environments for tattooing.
@Imani_Barbarin Hope the victim has a good lawyer so that medical bill is covered because DAMN

@Imani_Barbarin Is that the "tattoo artist" that no one would apprentice because she didn't want to show up for shifts?
@Imani_Barbarin Due to yt people believing that myth, all my tattoo artists have been black. Cause yt people will let their racism show every time and I’d be damned if I let them play with my skin
@Imani_Barbarin 👏 👏 👏 yes!! I try to tell people this as often as I can. Darker skin is not only NOT harder to tattoo but also keloids easier that lighter skin & the tattoo industry is still unfortunately full of racist, harmful misinformation.
