My local artist is extremly experienced and also very expensive but, he's worth it!

This is what I tell participants: "I would like to stress that this magazine intends to focus on the artistic value of your ink. I am trying to downplay the fetishized, tattooed female that can be found on many tattoo magazine covers. My project is about your stories and your experiences that are seen through a uniquely gendered and racialized lens." If you have more comments or suggestions, feel free to e-mail me about it. This project has only begun, and I'm always looking to improve it. Thanks for your input, Dor Hi Keith,

Now I am not saying that Doris Zhang is not genuine in her goals, but...I don't know. I don’t want to come off like an ass but, what she is describing sounds almost like a fetish magazine.
