A tattoo parlor in Kentucky is offering free appointments to anyone who wants to cover up their hate or gang symbol tattoos. 'We just want to make sure everybody has a chance to change.'

Tattoo artists Jeremiah Swift and Ryun King at the Gallery X Art Collective in Murray said they decided to offer this service as a way to take a stance in the Black Lives Matter movement amid the protests calling for an end to police brutality and racial injustice. "It's definitely a long overdue change," King told CNN. "Having anything hate related is completely unacceptable.

A new tattoo, a new lifeKing's first client was Jennifer Tucker, a 36-year-old mother of two who wanted to cover up a small Confederate flag she got tattooed on her ankle when she was 18 years old. "I went to a school where there wasn't a single black person," Tucker told CNN."Our community had no black families, they would literally run them out every time one moved in. Everyone in my school flew rebel flags and had rebel flag tattoos and I bandwagoned and got the tattoo.

That's action against hate. 👍

BeethovenRose No word if Mitch has made an appointment

Beautiful❤️

Or giving people a chance to hide in plain sight. NoAntiBlackRacism

Or be deceitful.

Every day presents us with the opportunity to take a new path. Redemption/atonement tales are my favorite because they remind me that I am not a lost cause.

How about Spirit OF THE FLESH(We The People),(Parliment Seal) and (President Seal) they die with me,

Trump trying to Remove Orange Tattoo On face. He will retain the one on his ass.

What a great thing to do for people. A better thing would not be tattoed with such things in the first place.

Stamping their skin like cows in a farm? 😂

By hate you mean MAGA

As a father Bring everlasting change, share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with your children, And pray for your children. ““For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NASB

Trust and believe, it will never be enough. They wouldn't be able to play victim if it were.

He gets them going and comming.. Where do you think they got those tattoos in the first place.

I rrally want this new tattoo...I hate fake news...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Will they cover up MAGA tats for free

1transitioningM They just trynna microchip yo ass. This a CIA operation. Don’t fall for this Bill Gates shit.

jmugele I love ink. These KY guys make me live it even more. I need to send them money to keep this up- thanks for posting it.

Something free in America,wow, that's a change.

Alot of us don't know our full history and we our using our own BIPOC symbols wromg or if non racist people were just told 'they are cool.' This is awesome. VoteOutHate

Yes.. .. and also No.... if you're going to do that then: it should be one of three-five cover-up options. That way they don't just: get to erase their past. What happens if they are just going 'double agent'? We should be able to identify them if they go and continue the hatred.

Do you have anyone in Orange County in California that would do that too?

I have a rabbit tattoo. Is that a hate symbol yet?

A chance to change! What a concept! This is the biggest push forward I’ve seen so far. Maybe all the statue destroyers and spray can scribblers could take a lesson in what true activism looks like and how it impacts the community. Bravo! Just brilliant!

A friend in HS had an ok symbol tattooed on his thigh for the fun 'made you look' game. Apparently now it is a hate symbol for blubbering butt-hurt ass clowns who cry about every goddam thing... Does that count?

CNN should get in line!!

How do I cover up or modify my CNN chest tattoo?

Where's the cop who has the Nazi symbol? He should be there already

Antifa and ms-13 tattoo deleto. DNC doesn’t want you to have evidence on you as you are doing their bidding.

I doubt many people would want to cover up their hateful BLM or Antifa tattoo.

Kentucky can do another good thing — Through out Mitch!

DON'T EVEN LIKE TATOO. NEVER WILL I MAKE IT

Holy 💩! CNN actually did a worthwhile story! With hope! Everyone CAN change! I believe it now!

Love this. 😍

Kak, handpoke gratis😝 oliviaharyanto

Good

Oregon, too.

BLACKPINK

yeah! This is awesome. It reminds of the say that 'service to humanity is the best work of live'

Melissa_VA_757 Amazing 😉

Love in action.

Fantastic, what a wonderful gesture. Not motivated by profit and greed, but by compassion and understanding.

CodyRhodes

This is the only truly inspiring thing to come out of the protests and more places should do the same.

Can they tattoo ' open for business' around my succulent ring

That’s good

Is this a news?

So I can get my CNN tattoo fixed for free

Really cool.

Fantastic! What a blessing you are to those who don't want to be reminded of the hate that 'WAS' in their lives. God bless you!

🤑

Do it outside on a humid day. It might be safer.

oh thank GOD I'm short of cash and im desperate to erase this CNN tattoo

That's awesome! Lot's of people can change their minds, lots of people can get second chances
