The good folks at Murda Ink Tattoos in Jamaica, New York, just sent in a nice series of a client getting tattooed with a portrait of a certain President-elect — bet you’ll never guess who!
Check out the finished piece, after the jump.
I think the simple black-work works well here, and it’s definitely an improvement over this piece, which, while technically proficient, looks quite a bit more like David Allen Grier than the President-to-be. My prediction: There will be many more of these tattoos coming in very soon. Yes, I am provocative!

and also, Adwoa… the only thing that keeps racism alive is people like you who talk about the “white skin privilege” and such. You have affirmative action and a black president. Now get over it.

Melanie-why can you only see why a BLACK american would get an Obama tattoo?
He’s everybody’s president
I’m a white american and if I were into portrait tattoos, I would have gotten one of him as well.

yeah Adwoa….I’m a poor white guy that voted for Obama…..so as far as I’m concerned right now, black people are more privileged than me and most of my white friends….and it wouldn’t be that way if it weren’t for the millions of white people that voted for Obama alongside of all the black people that did the same….

Max, how are black people more privileged than you are now?
Candice, while you are surely entitled to your opinion, you make no sense. Not speaking of the realities of our society will not make racism go away.

i mean nobody really cares about skin color anymore. at least not from my experiences.
it’s just always brought up by the minority bitching about prejudice…
it’s been decades since you’ve been equal, so get over it
actually, sometimes i feel like government programs even overcompensate for black oppression in the past (i.e. affirmative action)

Well, you can only know what you know, Candice but you might want to go by something more than you apparently very limited experience and learn about the experiences of others.
If no one cared about race anymore, people would not be ass hurt that we have a black president. Frankly, I have heard more bitching about prejudice from certain white folks who are scared that they are quickly becoming the minority in this country.
And did you know that more white women have benefited from Affirmative Action than blacks?

well even though i don’t believe you… it makes sense, because there are more white women in this country than there are blacks
i’m mad that obama is black.. only reason being is that if he was white, he wouldn’t have won.
his skin is black. but i mean… he drinks tea, wears form-fitting pants, and is a wealthy politician. it’s not like lil wayne is running the country.

Fuck politics on this one. It’s not something we should be arguing about, my issue it the work done. It is a great likeness of Obama, but looking at the lines they look very shakey. The curves on the ears are exaggerated. It’s overall pretty good.

For Candice…
Maybe you’ll believe the Department of Labor: http://www.dol.gov/esa/ofccp/regs/compliance/aa.htm
As I said, opinions matter. Opinions based in fact have better credibility.
