Nipple tattooist 'frustrated' by online censorship

    The nipples in question are not real but realistic pictures, applied after surgery that removes real nipples. So it's a medical cosmetic tatto, not a bizarre erotic kink.

      Unfortunately for the tattooist, the UK government considers it "harmful" nudity. I'm not sure why the BBC reporter is ignoring that fact.

          Where's the money in censoring nipples?

            Obvious: Look at who funds the BBC and who they are not criticizing.

        The BBC is a good outlet, but their big blindspot is that it's pro-establishment. Now, when your government isn't a flaming pile of dogshit, this is less egregious of a bias than in the rare contemporary time when your President, say, wants to build monuments to himself and rapes children.

        It's a whiff, here, for sure. But that's the reason why: the government is Good, and it certainly won't screw up spectacularly.

        Does it? UK law doesn’t, and the BBC shows pictures of it.
