“YES!” — Stephen A. Smith

That racism wasn’t aimed towards you, though. It was aimed towards visibly ethnic Hispanics (I am one of those) that have it infinitely worse than you ever will.

If that chest tattoo took four hours, you got ripped off. And the proportions are all wrong. It’s bulging out on the bottom left and is rotated 10-15 degrees counter-clockwise.

Not to blow up a comment section, but I can’t stress enough that I find it disgusting that you played the misogyny card over what you felt was poor customer service. Feminism is for helping the oppressed, not for whiny middle-class college-educated white women to abuse when they don’t get what they want at a store. If…

You don’t seem to understand where the artists are coming from and I find this whole article to be in incredibly poor taste, especially the bratty insults directed at someone who simply told you “no.”

Nope, totally with Dan on this one. Took me a long time to find someone to tattoo my hands. If you want a neck tattoo so bad, Jane, instead of smearing artists who say no, just go to a parlor where gang members go. They’ll hook you up, no problem.

He didn’t take any of her money, he doesn’t owe her anything.

I hate to be Team Tattoo Artist, but just like you can decide where you want your tattoos, he can also decide what work he’ll stand behind and what he WON’T. Clearly you have artistic differences, as evident by your contempt of his other work. So why would you use him in the first place?

White girl outrage is always petty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I understand why this was an upsetting experience, but tattoo artists refuse jobs all the time for all sorts of reasons. Many have a no necks, no hands policy - it’s quite common. And, as you discovered, what’s off-limits to one artist is totally okay with another - you were able to get exactly what you wanted in the…

I don’t get what you’re trying to accomplish by mocking his work?

it me

As soon as she scare quotes around survivor when talking about incest survivors it’s pretty clear to me her intention is to state that the term survivor should never have expanded beyond the Holocaust.

If you disagree that’s your prerogative.

Also it’s a baffling segue to go from survivor talk to triggers, I have seen…

I don’t think you understand the issue I have here. Somehow.

I already hate everything you stand for and I’ve seen only a few of your comments.

How? She basically waxes nostalgically about student/teacher relationships:

All that stuff about how was she supposed to know what was inappropriate to say to students and what made them uncomfortable. And how undergrads flaunt themselves? Blergh

While I’m not terribly supportive of the students outrage here, this woman doesn’t have any of my sympathy ‘cause she’s is basically lamenting that professors sleeping with students is no longer OK.
