Anonymous said: hello, which races can get tattoos without it being appropriation? thank you
This is an excellent question, and I’ve spent the past 15 minutes mulling over this. Sadly, I don’t know enough about tattoos to answer this. So I’ll open it up to the public. Guys, what do you think?

It’s not about tattoos, it’s about the kind of tattoos you get. Just stay away from tattoos of cultures that don’t belong to you and you’ll be good. That easy.

Well, I’d say it’s not cultural apropriation for any race. There is evidence of tattooing in Europe over 5,000 years ago which is 2,000 years before any other known evidence (though I doubt Europe was unique in tattoooing.)

I don’t think it’s about IF you get a tattoo it’s more about WHAT you get tattooed. If the symbol you want isn’t related to your culture, you probably shouldn’t do it.
