This is such a great article.

Lifetime NPR listener here, and not a Kardashian fan, but the interview was seriously NBD. She was pretty charming, actually. When I read all the comments on NPR’s Facebook page I was pretty appalled. WWDTM has interviews like this all the time with celebrities of the moment.

No, and it’s transphobic as fuck to suggest that they’re the same

Race is indeed a construct, but that is very, very far from it being a costume.

Meh. I would hardly call this “freaking out” and it seems it’s resulted in women being proud of their brains and their sense of humour. I’d call that a win.

It’s not even like his other work is even mock worthy; it’s all well done ink. I wouldn’t have any of them etched into my skin, except for the yarn one, but that’s not the point.

Nope. Take a quick look at his instagram account and you’ll see that he’s put what you consider “extremely loud, easy-to-regret” tattoos on plenty of women.

I know, right? Can we just delete this whole clusterfuck and turn it into a tattoo photo post?

Yeah, now maybe we'll be treated to a follow up on this post filed to Go Fuck Yourselves again!

And yet none of the tattoos she linked to were hand or neck tattoos, which is what he explicitly refused to do.

To be fair, every single tattoo ever is very easy to regret.

This is the most whiny, entitled white girl thing I have read in quite some time. Kudos.

But none of those tattoos are on their necks so his policy seems to be consistent.

None of the tattoos pictured are on the neck - the issue is not the tattoo, but the location. She is being hypocritical herself in implying that the ones pictured are objectively tacky.

Everybody should read this excellent interview with Gucci Mane’s face tattoo.

Which would be a thing if she had done some research about this and found out that no necks, no hands is a very common point of refusal among many artists. Maybe he didn’t handle it in the moment as smoothly as he could but I’m half inclined to believe that his condescension was probably surprise at the how the…

Most respectable tattoo artists will not do necks, hands, or faces unless you are a collector or another tattoo artist. It seems both a matter of ethics and culture in the industry, and personally I would be cautious of artists willing to break those norms.

This sounds like the tattoo version of the Lindy West plane story from long ago.

You are such an entitle white girl. He was doing his job and didn’t want to be responsable of any regrets from the costumer. He is putting his name on that and yeah, the policy with a lot of tattoo artists are “no neck or hands till you are all cover”. Why? because they have been more time in the industry and if you…

I don’t give a flying crap where you get a tattoo, but if it was my job to give tattoos I wouldn’t put them on someone’s neck or face. It’s just too much risk when the person sobers up and decides to sue. You may have been sober, but it’s not the tattoo artist’s job to determine that. You can do what you want with…
