'Tattoo Wives' Filming at Raven Lounge
23.05.12
In a city that is rapidly growing and holds nature’s graces to be placed in equal proximity to the financial (NY) and political (DC) capitals of our nation- it is no question why it is the perfect location to debut Miss Scorpion’s break through reality show and online talk show “Tattoo View”, especially given her business and activist history. Her long struggle with identity and what it means to be a woman in a boys club is nothing new. However, her refusal to keep her place, or the place of a stereotyped industry has resulted in a movement that has not only helped to change how the women of the tattoo world are seen, her voice has also given them power.
Miss Scorpion was the founder and president of the first tattoo sisterhood in the history of the trade, the Gypsy Queens. She was able to secure over 10,000 members, cultivated participation in over 2000 charity events across the nation and in the UK, as well as raise “green” and tattoo safety awareness- her South Carolina Chapter even adopted a highway. After the dismantling of the group, she was able to transform the following into a successful forward thinking marketing company specializing in entertainment and art.
