Tattoo Fixers Have Been Accused Of ‘Slut-Shaming’ After Their Reaction To Girl’s Tattoo
Tattoo Fixers is back, and while a lot of people are thrilled about it, the show has already run into controversy.
(It’s not the first time - Tattoo Fixers made headlines a few months ago when a famous tattoo artist criticised the quality of their tattoos, and they have also been accused of “exploiting” people).
This time, the problem was slut shaming.
Jessica Parr appeared on the show, hoping to cover up a tattoo that she had got eight years earlier. Located just above her knicker line, it read:
“B*tches wanna be me, guys wanna f*ck me.”
Not the best tattoo we’ve ever seen, admittedly.
Before she hitched her trousers down to reveal it, she told host Sketch, “before I pull my pants down I’m not a slag”, to which he replied, “you don’t look like a slut to be honest. I wanna see. I wanna see what makes you out to be a slut.”
After seeing the tattoo, he exclaimed “You slag!”.
And people aren’t thrilled about this…
