I’m a tattooist and there’s inkings I refuse to do – don’t bother asking me for a Harry Potter one, it’s an absolute no
A TATTOOIST has revealed the inkings she refuses to do – and it’s bad news if you’re a Harry Potter fan.
Daisy has a “hard no” list of tattoos she will never do and, while some of her refusals are understandable, lots of people in the comments struggled to come to terms with others.
“I’m a tattoo artist with a hard no list of things I refuse to tattoo on people – let’s read it,” Daisy began her TikTok video.
“Any hate speech or hate symbols, duh.
“Any cultural appropriation – this includes cultural appropriated imagery but also styles and pieces that are not my place to create as a white woman.
“Fine line tattoos, Harry Potter tattoos, semi-colon tattoos.”
For the latter – a semi-colon is representative of mental health and can represent someone coming through a mental health battle – Daisy added: “Semi colon tattoos are wonderful and I want you to have one – I am simply not able to hold that space for you.”
“As someone with a semicolon tattoo, I understand the hard no for this!” someone wrote in the comments section.
“You have to be prepared to hear why a semi tattoo and could be triggered.”
Daisy then continued: “Hand, neck or face tattoos as first tattoos or on anyone who is not significantly tattooed already.
“No, this does not include cosmetic or freckle tattoos.”
She concluded by adding she’ll never do genital tattoos – on anyone.
“I have a ‘Hard No’ list of subjects & styles I won’t tattoo – here they are,” Daisy captioned the video.
One of the biggest ones that people in the comments questioned was Daisy’s refusal to do Harry Potter inkings.
“Wait why no to Harry Potter?” one wrote.
“No Harry Potter!?” another asked.
While a third commented: “What did Harry Potter do??”
Despite the fact that Daisy didn’t respond to people asking why she doesn’t do Harry Potter tattoos, others speculated that author JK Rowling’s controversial comments about transgender people might be behind her decision.
“Just curious why no fineline tattoos?” someone else asked.
To which Daisy replied: “I’m not a fine line artist & it’s easier to include them in ‘hard no’ rather than field 10000 requests a week!”
