But in modeling the body is primary, which is not the case in cardiology. Her size isn’t an accident, it’s the very point.

Not to mention that shops depend on their rep to some degree, and if the artist thought your tattoo was going to look bad and/or even become something you hate then they are risking their business every time they do a tattoo and they deserve to mitigate that risk however they see fit.

Could be worse. This could be on the cover:

...extremely loud, easy-to-regret tattoos.

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.

Female artist here. Don’t tattoo faces, necks, hands or genitals as standard. My choice. If anyone wants to bitch they can go elsewhere because guess what, artists are not machines and are allowed to have some agency over who and what they tattoo.

This article is the literal equivalent of “I’ll show HIM!” and “If you piss me off, I’m leaving a bad Yelp review.”

I respect that artist who refused. For whatever reason.

the ice cream cone face tattoo is not his work, the copy on the left is. this is a common refusal by many artists. pick up the phone maybe?

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