I see a lot of people getting mad at the people who get tattoos of things that would be considered cultural appropriation, however, I don’t see people getting upset with the people who actually tattoo them on others.

Why is this?

In ways tattoo artists are…

As someone who has two tattoos and is looking to get just one more, I think this is a really valid and important point to think about.

2. inkwelljules answered: People will always borrow symbols and use them for personal meaning. Get over it. It isn’t a new thing. And symbols shouldn’t be so sacred.
3. erinmar13 answered: I think you have no idea what the words “cultural appropriation” actually mean, and I’m disgusted that people actually come to you for advice

   For these reasons I’m of the mentality to keep things as private as possible. I am sick of our cultures being exploited,...

28. apihtawikosisan answered: My take on it is this. If it is restricted within the culture, it’s cultural appropriation to do it or get it done.
