A Missouri woman accuses a tattoo shop of racism after she waited two hours and watched six customers go ahead of her. She then claims they wanted to charge her double. Additionally, she claims no one in the shop wanted to sit or talk to her.
The incident the Missouri woman describes occurred in the Iron Tiger tattoo shop. Her goal was to get a tattoo that consisted of two words. She explains that she waited because the artist was designing the tattoo. However, after the wait, she was left disappointed. The video has been viewed by thousands, with several in the comments sharing similar experiences.
The woman alleges she had to wait two hours for them to design a tattoo “that they were never going to do.” As she waits, she claims six white people come in and out without having to wait. During this time, she says she was “the only black person in the [expletive] shop.” After waiting, she says they doubled the price.
One thing she finds particularly upsetting is that “nobody wanted to sit by [her].” She shares that while she sat there, everyone stood around the shop instead of sitting by her. Additionally, she claims that no one spoke to her. Despite this, she explains, “I didn’t go off. I didn’t say, when is my turn going to be?” The video begins with her leaving the store following the incident described.
Many Know What The Missouri Woman Feels
Many have supported her statements. One claims to know the owner, stating, “It’s pretty known that he’s racist.” Another describes the shop as being at the bottom of the barrel, saying, “Their focus is the Mizzou students and they 100% overcharge because of it.” Another agrees that the service isn’t good, sharing, “I got my first tattoo there a long time ago, I tried to go back, and I was 100% disappointed.” Many have expressed sympathy for what she went through, with one saying, “I just wanted to say that you didn’t deserve that treatment.” She has inspired others to speak out, with one saying, “I also had a very poor experience about a year ago; your video compelled me to write the bad review.”
The video has caught the attention of many who offer sympathy. The most significant attention seems to be from Missouri locals. Her words have sparked a conversation about the shop’s tendency to overprice, with many sharing similar experiences when visiting.
It is unclear if she will get the tattoo somewhere else. Many have offered suggestions in the comments.
