Also "some people never can" is a stronger dividing line between people for commentary on racism. (yes, I know "racism is bad" stories have been done to death but that's ok). For a story without racism themes "hard to find the right ink" would make more sense. | |

Just like one face lotion is not suitable for everyone, the tattoo should use ink appropriate to your skin pigmentation. If you have a skin tone similar to other people getting tattooed on this town, they likely have the magic ink you would need. If you have an atypical one, they may need to but it from outside, or require a magistral formula designed for the individual... if they can afford it. | |
