A note on designs that draw from cultural imagery

This is the seal image (this note only refers to flash designs marked with the seal)(or custom requests that draw from cultural imagery):

• I prefer to tattoo designs that draw from cultural imagery or iconography, to people who have a personal connection to that imagery. Up to your judgement what that connection is or means, I won’t ask or anything, just please think about it for a moment. If you feel comfortable getting the tattoo after reading this note, then I feel comfortable making it for you, as you know best where you’re coming from.
• This is coming from my discomfort as an artist (also as a human being) with orientalist vibes I get sometimes.
• This is also a request for reflection on custom design requests that draw from cultural imagery
• Just include the word ‘frogger’ in the note box on my booking form so that I know you’ve read this, if you are requesting one of these designs.
  
  
• Otherwise, I would respectfully ask that you choose a different flash piece / custom concept if you are interested in my work! I hope you can understand and respect my feelings on this.
