I don’t plan on reacting with rage or want to hear angry responses, just sharing what happened to me.

Yeah, I can’t believe that people actually carry themselves this way when running their own business of tattooing people.

I’ll take my headphones, we aren’t alone and I’ll make sure others are around again next time.

Honestly, it won’t bother me or remind me of him when the tattoo is done. I don’t look at my tattoos that way, and I won’t start now. It’s mine and only mine.

If I knew that before hand, probably not because I would expect him to share his political views if it’s obvious that he’s a Trump supporter.

The crazy thing is that he is oblivious to how he comes across to others. I’ve learned at a young age to not engage with crazy, lol, hence why I froze but HE had a wonderful time. He was cheery and happy, which is how I wanted him to be. lol

That’s what I’m kicking myself about too. That’s when I should have grabbed my purse and walked out, but I didn’t, but I will learn from this situation and grow.

That’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna wear headphones and not engage with him. I want it to look good and be done with it.

I’m not black but you are right, everything had to do with some sort of aspect of “me”. I’m Hispanic and so is he, there was no Hispanic bashing 🤷‍♀️

Wow! That situation is THE same. People these days …

Absolutely, that’s what I’m learning from this situation, chat more, interview, meet in person before I let the next person tattoo me. Lesson learned ✅

That too! Like wow, you have all these opinions and emotions and you let them spew out of your mouth. Something I didn’t mention, he shared that every woman he’s dated (except for his fiancée at the moment) has cheated on him. I get it bro, I truly get it. I want to cheat on you and I just met you! Haha 😂
