[blackittencat]

I’m a Black CAribbean Goth Woman (Darkskin) , I’m half Venezuelan but my name Catrina I want to get La catrina tattoo on my body but is that cultural appropriation? I don’t want to get yell at for that tattoo on me

Cultural appropriation is bs, don't fall for that kind of stuff, it's more like appropriation of your peace of mind, don't listen to them and if you do, do it with neutrality, think by yourself: is this bad? yes, no, why? you're not stealing land or harming people. You do what you want with your body, tattoos like that are very pretty also.

I don’t think it will look good. And they think you are French.

[blackittencat]

Who thinks I’m French? Dude what

[Wraith_Cemetery]

La Catrina is a Mexican Day of the Dead thing, mate. Not French,

[Guy13]

There you go. La, Le what’s the difference kind of thing…no one cares or considers origin but you. MAYBE the guy trying to get laid cares. SE Asia will assume French etc…
DO WHAT YOUR HEART SAYS…. Rest of the world could care less EXCEPT the guy speaking with you.

Do you mean this La Catrina?

Or something similar?

My daughters are half Colombiana. They look Norwegian, like me. They’re bilingual. They’re ready to fight anyone who throws any of that cultural appropriation bs in their face.
A mixed race family just walked by me. White dad, black mom. Teenage daughter, white skin, red nose (it’s freezing outside), beautiful natural curly hair. To think that her black mom can’t give her daughter a certain hairstyle because the girl’s skin is too light is just sad and completely unfair to the whole family.
Get your tattoo.
Fuq them.
Be you.
Ur Latina anyway. You don’t have to justify anything.

Yes My name is Catrina lol it was made up kinda then I found about La Catrina some days ago I was shock ! I fell in love with the art.. but I didn’t want to get something that met offended anyone I’m technically Darkskin black woman at the end of the day even tho I’m half Venezuelan

[Andres77]

It’s easy for me to say it but I think you should get it.
Hope everything works out for you.

People get offended by anything this days anyway, if you want that tattoo, just get it done, you're not hurting anyone, people offended by that are just plain stupid.

[HelpingMcHelpington]

Who gives a crap what people think. Get whatever you wanna get. if they get offended, flip them the bird and tell'em to get fucked, it'll help improve their mood.

[blackittencat]

I know but I wouldn’t want someone to do it to me so I just have respect for everyone history

[HelpingMcHelpington]

They're not exactly respecting you by dictating what you do to your own body that's not physically harming them, only their feelings that's gonna last less than 20 seconds before they move onto the next thing that offends them. Trust me, the people who get mad about your tattoo, will ALWAYS look for things to be mad about their entire lives. So you're missing out on what makes you happy for the sake of people who will never be happy. Screw them.
