Tattoo Fixers’ Sketch slammed for ‘slut shaming’ girl with explicit tattoo

TATTOO Fixers star Sketch has been accused of "slut shaming" one of the subjects on Tuesday night's show.

Fun-loving Jessica Parr featured on the E4 show to ask for help covering up a tattoo she had just above her vagina.

Viewers saw her nervously enter the studio, this time located abroad to fit in with the holiday theme of the series, to ask Sketch, Jay and Alice to help her rectify this terrible drunken idea.

Sketch asked: "So what are you in for?"

She explained: "I've got a disgusting tattoo and it makes me look like a right slut."

"So you're not a slut?" questioned Paisley, the receptionist.

Jess said: "No I'm actually not which is why it has to go."

Sketch said: "You don't look like a slut to be honest."

Jess replied: "I'm not, and I've got a boyfriend now and he doesn't like it, so..."

She then explained that she the terrible inking was done eight years ago while she was on a girls' holiday in Aiya Napa - and was one of SIX boozy holiday tats stamped on her body.

"I wanna see. I wanna see what makes you out to be a slut," urged Sketch.

Standing up, Jess said: "Before I pull my pants down I'm not a slag."

Revealing her pubis, she showed the amazed experts the scrawled phrase, "b**ches wanna be me, guys wanna f**k me" just beneath her knicker line.

Paisley asked: "Who on earth did you think you are to get that put down there"

"You slag," Sketch hissed.

However, fans weren't horrified by Jess' vulgar tattoo, it was Sketch's "slut shaming".

While saying "you don't look like a slut to be honest" was obviously meant in a reassuring way, it really riled people watching at home.

Despite him helping her to hide the terrible tatt with a gorgeous skull and rose cover-up, people were still angry.

One raged: "#tattoofixers I'm not a slut but....... pretty much the same as people that say I'm not racist but....."

Other angry comments included: "You don't look like a slut" oh pls tell me what a slut looks like ???? #tattoofixers"; "Brilliant cover up and placement @JessicaParr2, even if Sketch did boss you about after all that slut shaming lmao!"; "You don't look like a slut. Sketch !!!!!! Omg @sketchreppinink #TattooFixers."

And there was more, with other viewers weighing in.

They commented: "That slut shaming tho #tattoofixers"; "Well, you don't look like a slut!" Did @sketchreppinink really say that?! #TattooFixers"; "#TattooFixers oh hey sorry I didn't realise it was okay for the word slut to be thrown around left right and centre"; "Oh WTF now you're gonna slutshame? Wow so much mysogyny. #TattooFixers #sosonotcool #thisshizzwentdark."

A spokesperson for Tattoo Fixers on Holiday said: “The comment made by Sketch was clearly to reassure Jess who felt her tattoo led her to be labelled and he made it in good humour and it was not meant to be offensive in anyway.

"Jess, was not offended by his comment and went on to have Sketch fix her tattoo.”
