Shaving the area where your getting a tattoo is to remove the layer of dead skin. So when to tattoo is scabbing it doesnt fade.

The hair will not grow back darker. Seriously how is shaving going to change the color of the hair? Dumbass.

Any good tattoo artist is going to make you shave the area they are working on. No matter if you are a male or female.

YDI for not doing research on tattooing before you got one. As everyone else has already said, no matter how fine your hair is you need to have it shaved before a tattoo goes there. There's major risk if you do not. You should have known that, and you should have had a consultation before getting the tattoo anyway and had the artist explain everything to you. If you don't understand you should have asked THEM, not come on FML and bitched about something irrelevant.
