The women that had these didn't get them by request.

Maori by injection?
Very unattractive.
It looks like the wearer is drooling lines of dark blue ink.
Not at all attractive, but guess what? These are adults who have made that personal choice. We don’t have to ‘like it’.
While in public, I often see women with strangely bright, candy colored hair.
Do you think I’m going to say anything about it?
Hell no! That’s what some of them want. They bait you into making a statement, which allows them to express their independence from ‘The Patriarchy’.
Appropriating what we like from other cultures, is our culture. Its who we are. You don’t get to judge me.
And here I thought beards on women only came after menopause.
No, it's offensive on the grounds that it looks ridiculous.
“Sally Anderson, a life coach, reportedly got the tattoo as an homage to New Zealand’s indigenous Maori culture...”
Should have just been honest. She got it to distract people from her huge honker.
Olive Ann Oatman (1837 – March 20, 1903)[3] was a woman from Illinois whose family was killed in 1851, when she was fourteen, in present-day Arizona by a Native American tribe, possibly the Tolkepayas (Western Yavapai); they captured and enslaved her and her sister and later sold them to the Mohave people.[4][5] After several years with the Mohave, during which her sister died of hunger, she returned to white society, five years after being carried off.
In subsequent years, the tale of Oatman came to be retold with dramatic license in the press, in her own “memoir” and speeches, novels, plays, movies and poetry. The story resonated in the media of the time and long afterward, partly owing to the prominent blue tattooing of Oatman’s face by the Mohave. Much of what actually occurred during her time with the Native Americans remains unknown.[
Sort of like the woman in Hell On Wheels.
It’s her Stoopid Mark!
If your life coach gets a chin tattoo, you’ve chosen poorly.
Hell on wheels series.
Well, it worked until you opened your big mouth. LOFL!!
I just did some reading on her——she is a huckster selling her seminars on leadership through very expensive lectures and retreats.
She is all about money.

The grow big un’s down there!
I should have known! Thanks, Mears.

Well, to be fair...those two would be hideous with or without the tats. Especially the one on the left.
“which allows them to express their independence from ‘The Patriarchy’.”
Ah, the patriarchy. Formerly known as “civilization.”
The character of Eva on “Hell on Wheels” was probably based on that woman. She had been kidnapped and made a slave by the indians. Still miss that series. I couldn’t stand the character of Black Bolt that Anson Mount played in the “Inhumans.” Glad it was cancelled. His Cullen Bohannon on “Hell on Wheels” was excellent.
