Tattoo parlor offers free ink to cover up Confederate ‘hate symbols’

One of their clients was Jennifer Tucker, 36, who wanted to have a Confederate flag tattoo on her ankle covered. Inked when she was 18 years old, Tucker said she was just following the crowd at her high school and wanted to rebel against her family.

After high school, Tucker transformed her beliefs and found herself involved in local activism, particularly related to racial injustice.

She did not hesitate to call when she found out about what the Gallery X Art Collective was doing in Murray, about a 40-minute drive southeast of where she lives in Paducah.

“I just needed to get that symbol of hatred off of my body,” said Tucker. “Every time I attend a group meeting or protest, I make a new friend. And I don’t want to be standing next to them with a Confederate flag on my leg.”

It had been almost 20 years of “looking down at the tattoo and regretting it,” she said.

Both are bad.

Just don’t get ink injected.

Is the Confederate Flag tat considered a monument?

[kaehurowing]

Tattoos are a mark that the person belongs to Satan.

She should have gotten a hammer and sickle tattoo. As everyone knows,that’s a symbol of peace and tolerance.

Is Pickle Rick a variation of Mr Hanky?

Is Pickle Rick a variation of Mr Hanky?

Pickle Rick is a scientist who transformed himself into a pickle as part of a plot to get out of going to family therapy. Misadventures follow.

Will bad things happen if you lay out in the sun with your Pickle Rick tattoo?

[samiam5]

Is it just me, or does that flower look like a swastika?

Well, it only gets worse when it rains. Then you will need to deal with the rats and the roaches.

Valdemort? Is that you on the back of Prof. Quirrell’s head?

I have a tattoo and I love it after all these years.

That could be the most stupid thing I’ve read on this board after all these years :-) I have one. I don’t belong to Satan. But you belong to a nut House :)

Nothing says “Now I have much more class” than a pickle dick tattoo.
