Esther Garcia has a studio space open in Chicago for an interested tattoo artist with a solid portfolio. Her space is right on the square (next to Dunlay’s). The studio is perfectly decorated and Esther is an amazing person to work with. Check out some of Butterfat’s work, and pass on to artists you think may be interested.
white privilege is when your skin color is represented on every tattoo site
So important.I’m struggling to find a female artist who has worked on dark skin before here in Chicago. I really would like a WOC, but MOC would also be fine at this point.
as long as their portfolio has someone who is dark on it, and they do good work, I will probably inquire.
signal boost please?

I’m so in love with my legs, so in love with the incredible artist who put the perfect bows on them, and so excited for the next tattoo they’re doing for me!!
Rachel’s bows!!!
Genevieve is so talented, she was able to make my super sexy legs even sexier. I am going to wear hot pants and tap shorts and mini skirts from here on out, exclusively.
Getting these bows was a long process— not only because we’ve been working on this since January, but because it took me a very long time to get to a place where I was comfortable with my gams. Even though it’s not always comfortable (emotionally or physically), making a concerted effort to decorate and enhance parts of my body that once made me feel uncomfortable, hypervisible, “unattractive,” and all around bad has been a powerful experience. I am reclaiming pieces of my body, tattoo or fatkini or crop top or photo shoot at a time.
