PRESENTING AFRODERM
Celebrating Every Skin Tone
At Stories & Ink, we believe tattoos are for every skin type, every story and every person. It was therefore a natural fit to support the artists of Afroderm. More than a tattoo flash event, Afroderm is a movement to reclaim heritage, champion representation and celebrate the artistry of Black tattoo culture.
Their mission of inclusivity, self-expression and community are values that we stand behind at S&I. That’s why we’re super proud to provide a spotlight on Afroderm, to amplify their voice and celebrate how they're pushing a fresh narrative within tattoo culture.
“We tend to forget that the origins of tattooing and body modification started on melanated skin. So many Black people say their skin’s too dark to be tattooed. And it breaks my heart because our people have been doing this for centuries."- Dimitri, Founder of Afroderm
