Feminists Are Getting Women's March-Inspired Tattoos To Take Down The Patriarchy
Deeds and words
The other week, the ELLE team joined the half million men and women across the globe to take part in the international women's marches to show solidarity, support and hope to all those ready to fight for gender equality, healthcare access, LGBTQ rights, race equality etc.
While many women displayed placards, home-made banners and T-shirts to enforce their message, there's now a group of women who are choosing a more permanent statement:
Dainty but powerful
Just try grabbing anything of ours, Trump.
Venus symbol
One feminist debuted a circle with a small cross underneath on her circle to show her support for the cause.
'Self Love Club'
Another tattooed the lower part of her calf muscle to provide a constant reminder of the need for self-acceptance.
'The revolution will be feminist or nothing at all'
Translated from Spanish into English, this message serves to highlight the importance of female rights.
The future is female
Say it loud, say it proud.
Cat/Venus symbol
This clever amalgamation of the two symbols is a timely reminder of the international women's march.
Grl Power
Delicate but oh so powerful.
Grab her by the what?
Tough girls, unite.
When life gives you lemons...
Do a Beyoncé.
'She is mighty'
Never underestimate a woman's strength.
'We Can Do It!'
With the help of Charlie Brown's Lucy van Pelt.
'Fight like a girl'
Slap the patriarchy in the face.
Onward
We march.
'No, you smile'
Yeah, you heard.
Cat tat
The woman who had this tattoo captioned this image: 'I will never forget how I felt marching on Saturday, and wanted a little something to take with me. I seriously cannot stop staring at it!'
Neither can we.
Level the playing field
'I leveled up my tattoo game', was the appropriate caption for this photo.
Deeds not words
Inspired by the Suffragette motto, this tattoo speaks volumes.
'F*ck the patriachy'
Boom.
Love. Hope. Feminism.
Need we say more?
Nasty women
Stand proud.
