Yes, I have tattoos, I also have an education and a career!

Never judge a book by its cover is an appropriate phrase to sum up the lives of many who wear tattoos. For far too long, tattoos have been misunderstood, seen as red flags instead of reminders that people are layered, complex, and capable of much more than what meets the eye.

Don’t believe everything you see. Likewise, just because someone wears tattoos, it doesn’t mean they lack basic education, let alone a proper job. In fact, countless individuals thrive in both academic and professional spaces while still embracing their love for tattoos.

This tee is a nod to everyone who's had to prove that their ink doesn't cancel out their ambition. It’s for those who juggle deadlines with full sleeves, who walk into boardrooms with visible ink, and who don’t feel the need to erase parts of themselves just to be taken seriously.

The only way to battle the stigma is to keep showing up; authentically, unapologetically, and completely yourself. After all, tattoos are not a weakness. They don’t hold you back. If anything, they highlight your journey, your resilience, and your refusal to conform.

So go ahead; wear this loud. You’ve earned your education, and built your career. Now’s the perfect time to let your tattoos narrate your story.
