the great irony is that most ppl will tattoo whatever you want as long as the debit card approves.

There was a neo nazi shop in my old city, I’m just trying to avoid walking into another shop like that.

What does that have to do with being anti-capitalist? I feel like those are separate issues in these modern times. Even non nazis might still be capitalists though. That seems like a harder find.

Because some shops make it very clear who is not welcome. I’m looking for shops that don’t have that kind of messaging.

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.
