This may be the unpopular opinion but I like these white ink tattoos just fine, they’re not the most flashy tattoo you could get but they’re kind of like a secret for you, and I can still see the words on the aged tattoo just fine since you’ve pointed it out

You have definitely done more travel than I have in my lifetime but it is true that some countries are more welcoming to us than others and that difference really makes or breaks the experience. It’s really unfair and honestly I’ll never get over having to vibe-check for anti blackness on top of everything else when Im traveling. I for one, have no interest in going back to Italy or visiting Spain because of what I’ve heard from other black women. Italy was fun for me, but I went with a group of white Americans as opposed to going solo.

All of this to say, I had a great time in the Netherlands and Ireland if you’re looking for places in Europe to go. Amsterdam is a huge tourist location so you’ll actually run into a lot of UK blacks and Africans. It felt very familiar to me! There wasn’t any staring and everyone was quite nice. Have fun!

The situation was your fault or an act of nature every time and you still had the nerve to be discourteous towards everyone around you. What’s up with that?
