BAND TATTOO COVER UPS

When you have a favorite band, you want to get their lyrics tattooed all over your body if you are an extreme fangirl. But that comes at a price when these bands get outed for abuse. It can actually traumatize people knowing they have a creep tattooed on their body forever. So what do you do after that happens? Well, you can cut your skin off, or you can get a cover-up. 

When the rock band Brand New’s lead singer got outed for sexual abuse, some tattoo artists stepped up to the plate. Tattoo artist Harriet Heath of Tooth and Talon tattoo is covering up Brand New tattoos in exchange for a donation to Rape Crisis England and Wales.

She stated,

“I feel so much sympathy for those who feel sick to their stomachs having his words on their bodies and want to be rid of them. I would like to give priority on this day to those who have been affected by sexual assault, for whom this news causes extra pain to. When you contact me you can simply add a #metooto the email and I will do my best to fit you in on the day.”

Could you imagine having this on your arm?

When the band Front Porch Step got outed for the lead singer trying to sleep with 14-year-olds, fans were enraged and went to the tattoo shop the next day.

Could you imagine actually supporting this creep?

The art of covering up a tattoo is even more impressive than the original design so I have a high regard for these artists who are able to do it well. Maybe one should think about getting a band tattooed on their body next time, we really have no idea what these people are like in reality.
