I used to be a tattoo artist in prison but there are certain designs I dislike including the word ‘loyalty’ here’s why

TATTOOS are a big commitment.
Even if it’s a tiny one that’s easy to hide, it’ll stay on your skin for life.
A woman who was a tattoo artist in prison confessed that there are some designs she would reject.
Nina explained on her TikTok account @thatlilnina why some designs are just stupid.
It’s bad news if you’ve got the world inked “loyalty,” “nobody who ever has that tattoo is really loyal,” she said.
Not only that, but people have the worst reasons for even having the word on their bodies.


“[They’re] like “oh I’ve never seen loyalty in my life” or “loyalty ain’t real” then why the hell are you tattooing them?
“Shut up, you’ve seen loyalty, you’ve got dogs,” she jabbed.
The next design, which Nina admittedly never did, are tattoos that say “homemade.”
The artist explained that she hates the “junk” design because nobody in prison is ever “homemade.”
“If you’ve been in jail and got yourself a tattoo, you look stupid. You’re not self-made, you’re not a business owner, you didn’t make your own life, you’re a criminal,” she said.
And no matter how much you love your family, designs that say “daddy’s girl” are a total no-go and start to look weird the older you get.
She would also refuse to make matching “Queen of Hearts” and “King of Hearts” designs for fellow inmates.
Nina said, “I think it’s so stupid that I refused to do it to anyone who wanted it.”
