Reply to comment by ohhgrrl in Seeking anticapitalist tattoo artist by [deleted]

I feel like you are using the wrong words. Them not serving you in a discriminatory manner (my assumption based on the limited information) isn’t about their view of capitalism. If they don’t like your politics, they don’t like your politics but i guarantee capitalism and anti-capitalism has nothing to do with it. This comes off as someone saying they want a place that is okay with fuchsia because one place wasn’t when really they are asking about neon green.

The tattoo itself is anticapitalist. It’s an anticap tattoo, Im not seeking someone with my same values just someone who won’t mind making anticapitalist artwork.

Do you look for the same for your doctor, dentist, etc??

If I was asking my dentist to decorate my teeth with an anti capitalist critique I absolutely would check. If I was asking my doctor for an anticapitalist medical procedure I would ask.

The difference is that I am commissioning art. It’s reasonable to buy art from artists who enjoy the commission.
