The tattoo industry, while booming and inclusive in image, has deep-rooted challenges for LGBTQ+ individuals, often making it difficult for queer artists to succeed professionally.
Historically, tattoos have served as discreet identity markers within the LGBTQ+ community, yet the industry's culture can be hostile, especially for queer and trans individuals.

LGBTQ+ clients frequently struggle to find tattoo artists who genuinely understand and respect their identity and artistic needs, highlighting a gap in the industry's acceptance.
