Do you even know what the traditional hairstyle is for her ethnic/culteral group? Do you expect all American Indians to wear long braided hair, embellished with feathers and beads, dress in deerskin, and moccasins, and carry a tomahawk around with them? That's basically what your comment implies.
That is what the tattoo is. She will bring it with her everywhere. But the hair in one of the pictures looks like that of a Tulsa Oklahoma weather girl. The tattoo is to be noticed. It is the first thing you see. And it is mostly noticed because the rest of her is incongruent, at least in the pictures provided.
Every year on ash Wednesday I walk around with a black splotch on my forehead. I don’t expect that its not the very first thing people notice, it is. Our brains are wired to search every detail of a face and detect any communication of emotion.
We, as human beings, are hyper sensitive about a face. Not just ours but anyone we talk to. As a professional communicator this women will first communicate her tribe. Then she will communicate whatever she says. The tattoo is designed to make that happen. Its biology.
This lady can do what she wants. But she cannot stop the reaction every health person is going to have. Which will generally be quizzical.
