What do you think? I have heard excuses that certain colors don't show up.

I think "you're racist" has lost literally all meaning in modern discourse if we're seriously expected to believe a tattoo artist is racist because they're not experienced in black/brown tattoos.

I agree.

There's this tattoo artist I was looking at in Miami because his tattoos look amazing on Instagram but none of them are on dark skin so I'm just like whatever.

The sensors on those devices sometimes have trouble recognizing darker skin because theyre programmed to recognize white skin

Huh.

I would have expected them to just get triggered by motion rather than needing to recognize color.

It's true. Darker skin is trickier to work with. There are techniques to working with dark skin but they are hard earned.

I think this woman should keep her mouth shut since she don't know dick about tattooing.

I believe it shines a light down and gets activated by the light being reflected back. if someone's skin is too dark, it can absorb too much of the light for the sensor to notice it

Interesting. Sounds like they're just better tattoo artists then.

I'll look for "can work dark skin" as a skill filter if i ever get a tattoo. Wouldn't be surprised if they means extra dough, but I'd never cheap out on a permanent mark in my skin.

This is one of those areas where black bodies and white bodies just aren't the same, and you have to do things differently. Just like someone who styles black hair generally has to know specifically how to style black hair. You can't just treat it like white hair and call it a day, and we've all seen what tattoos on dark skin look like when they are not done correctly.

I've never met a good tattoo artist that couldn't tattoo on black or brown skin so maybe they're onto something.

Its something like that. You can set off sinks just by being in the same room if you wear reflective clothing.

I'm not racist. I'm just bad at developing a facial recognition algorithm that actually works on dark skinned people.

Imagine wanting to get a tattoo from someone who is inexperienced with your special needs (as it pertains to the realm of tattooing)

A person is allowed to deny a job if they feel they cannot deliver the satisfactory results the clients want.

If a tattoo artist did a tattoo on a person with dark skin and the results look like crap due to shading and color, he then has to pay for the removal making the whole thing pointless.

Holy shit. I always hated those touchless faucets because I couldnt activate them or keep them running. I always thought I just wasnt moving enough or my wrists were too thin.

Next time, Ill try revealing my palm to see if the skin color is in fact the reason.

The more you know.
