Wilmington Couple Takes Stand Against Toxic Culture in Tattoo Industry

by Jessica

A meeting is scheduled in Wilmington to discuss the toxic culture within the tattoo industry, particularly concerning sexual violence against women.

Lauren Jackson, an expert in sexual violence, and her husband Jake Cortez, a tattoo artist, are spearheading this initiative, aiming to provide a platform for women in the industry to share their experiences and break the silence.

Jackson emphasized the urgent need to address the long-standing issue of sexual misconduct and violence within the profession, often overlooked due to its predominantly masculine culture. Both artists and customers can fall victim to exploitation and abuse without repercussions.
