Juneteenth celebration with ink’d up Black people
🤎❤️🖤💚

📸:

Weird that nonBlack folks get a new holiday off from work. I dont think this is what we wanted or needed.. Having Juneteenth as a national holiday isn’t going to fix the antiBlackness, racism that is the structure of Americakkk.

more photos to come 🖤

For folks who have watched the videoS has posted. Know he is aligned and practices yt supremacy. Know he is a yt supremacist.

He is gaslighting dark skin Black ppl. He is causing harm and using false narratives to prove himself right because he lacks the skill to tattoo all skin. Tattooing only white ppl does not make you a master tattooer.
Ask yourself how someone who literally lives in a country with 1% Black ppl, all of a sudden has “facts” on tattooing Black ppl?

Yt men, yt tattooers, nonwhite ppl who align with whiteness- we don’t need information from you on how to tattoo dark skin. You don’t have the skin color that is being gaslighted in the tattoo industry. You aren’t a resource to learn from. We don’t need your “educational” slides and videos.

🤎🖤
To Black dark skin folks, like me- YOUR SKIN IS NOT, WILL NEVER BE THE PROBLEM. Our skin’s existence is powerful and makes others “fear” us on sight. We know discrimination in tattoo businesses are very real. Your skin color is not the problem! You deserve to be treated with respect. Don’t believe yt ppl, whiteness when it comes to tattooing, they do not hold the “facts” when it comes to tattooing. Amerikkka was build on false theories and the fragile egos of yt men creating everything to put cis yt men on top. Nothing has changed.
🤎🖤

Decolonize tattooing. This is a committed on going practice..

“ Don’t criticize somebody else for what they’re not doing. You be it. Be about it. Be about that action and go do it. Keep your eye on your intention. Don’t let it any outside distraction or your own insecurity stop you from your goals. Embrace that struggle. Surviving that struggle will strengthen you. This is a crucial time in our history and in your life. The Earth is ripping that bandaid off so we can really see our wounds, so we can acknowledge and nurture them. That’s when true healing begins. You can be that leader we all need, you can lead the movement that celebrates humanity. My prayer for you is that you invest in yourself and see the value of giving back and building your community the best way you can.” -
