It’s not every day you see a beauty influencer with such a bold black tattoo. She loves that tattoo and wears it with so much pride that you’d never guess it’s actually a cover-up. “I used to have a woman with her hands up and a snake tattooed on my chest,” Barnes says. “I got it on a whim and there was a lot of saturated black in the hair. I sent it to my family group chat and nobody answered. Then I got a message back that the thumbs were backwards.”
Barnes freaked out upon realizing the tattoo’s mistake and wound up reaching out to 13 to 15 artists to see if they would cover up the design. Every single one of them said no, aside from one artist who told her she’d need to commit to a chest panel and a full Japanese sleeve. Over the course of about six months Barnes got the sleeve session by session, thus going from being a college student with a few small tattoos to a very visibly tattooed person.
