Geez, what in the world would be causing this? Surge in requests for Nazi, KKK ink prompts Maine tattoo shop to say ‘stop asking’

It’s always been the policy of Rockland-based Siren Song Tattoo that the artists who work there won’t tattoo messages of hate, including Nazi and white supremacist imagery.

But it’s only recently that the business’s owners, Alison and Justin Wheeler, felt they needed to publicly state that they’re not in the business of making hateful sentiments permanent with body ink.

“So we wouldn’t normally do this but there have been an alarming amount of people wanting Nazi/KKK tattoos this year! So we are declaring now that we do not create images or recreate images that pertain to those parties and like parties,” a Dec. 23 post on the shop’s Facebook page read. “Get over it and stop asking us, we ain’t about that shit.”
