Tbh I think it's because any sort of geometric tattoo is a lot easier to draw consistently. Manga tattoos are usually some sort of tribal or straight ass bc its easy...
Oh god and here you are calling it “tribal” too. There’s so many tattoo templates they could have used but it’s always gotta be my culture. Yous know nothing about our tattoos either, because they’re not tattoos, they’re a sacred and closed practice that tells our history of colonialism, ancestors and culture. So constantly having to see my closed practices being used because it’s “easier” it’s so madding I’m going to keep complaining holy shit. And it’s not done because it’s “easier”, it’s because you’s fetishise it. If you knew anything about this you would know it’s not that easy to draw and each symbol means something oml the day my cultures are no longer fetishised is the day all colonisers are gone. This translates into real life too. If I have to see people like Jack Paul or Mike Tyson’s “ta moko” one more time I’m going to explode. Get my closed practices out of your porn YUCK.
I’m looking more at them now too. Artist knows nothing that they’ve mixed multiple cultures together. We got some Samoan., heck some Māori. There’s letters when though we traditionally have no writing system let alone put non existent letters on our skin. Māori one is so embarrassingly bad, I’ve got one and this one in the manhwa is just so bad that it’s like a coloniser taking one look at mine and going “I think I can close my eyes and make shit up”. You gonna find some excuse for literally shoving a bunch of cultures together? Or is it still cause they’re “easier”?
I dont think they were just trying to give excuses because they agree with the author i think they were just saying that's probably the line of thinking the artists go about it. Obviously its a disrespectful and ignorant way of thinking
idk why the pale mfs are disliking your comment, you're 100% right.
like, even if you ignore the fact that it's very clearly mixing styles and cultures, why tf does his Korean ass need a poly tattoo
- from another polynesian
Why this pale ass bitch got a Polynesian tattoo erm - from a Polynesian
