On #WorldTattooDay, we honor the incredible talent of tattoo artists who discovered or developed their gifts while incarcerated. Many dream of pursuing tattooing professionally, but face huge barriers due to Nebraska’s licensing requirements. Let’s support their journeys toward doing what they love.
