How to make your mark? Express yourself- From coloring outside the lines to creating her own clothes, expressing herself through art made Jacci Gresham feel confident. Keep an open mind- When Jacci started out, women getting tattooed was considered distasteful. Women giving tattoos was unheard of. And a Black woman tattoo artist? Jacci was the first. Practice every day- Jacci studied her craft. She developed new inking techniques for Black and brown skin. And she welcomed everyone into her New Orleans shop, including women of every color, shape, and size. Stand up for what you believe- From art class to artist, Jacci Gresham pushed boundaries, and she never took no for an answer. Jacci made her mark. How will you make yours?
