One member of Inchunwa is Miss Indian Oklahoma, Faithlyn Taloa Seawright. Seawright is using her platform to preserve and celebrate southeastern tribal traditions through her involvement with the project.
Seawright has two types of tattoos, including six lines on her fingers and two lines on her face.

Her tattoos carry both cultural and personal significance. The six lines on her fingers pay homage to southeastern traditional tattoos, and she said each one represents a personal promise to herself to be better in some way.
Of the six lines, one is red to raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women.

Biskinik · The Inchunwa Project: A journey to reviving Southeastern tribal tattoos - BiskinikFrom casual conversation to a revitalization project, the Inchunwa Project has turned into a "revivalization" movement that is shining the light on the practice of traditional tattoos.

"First, we have a #President who can’t distinguish between a visual aid created by his own staff & reality, and who becomes increasingly aggressive when confronted w/ facts that contradict his delusions. This isn’t just about #tattoos. It’s about the most powerful man on the planet w/ control over our nuclear arsenal, who can’t process basic visual evidence placed directly in front of him."

Or he may be stupid enough and detached from reality enough that he actually believes the doctored photo is a real one. Either way:

"In a lot of ways, this is Trump in a microcosm: Terribly, insistently wrong, with no one who can or will set him straight, with no ability to self-correct – and a meanspirited bully, to boot.

That makes it a great case study for journalists to explore, rather than ignore."

Dan Froomkin encourages journalists to look at Trump's ludicrous tattoo tirade as he tried to bully ABC's Terry Moran into saying a fake, photoshopped image of Abrego Garcia's hand — and to explore this bizarre incident as a case study in who Trump is.

As he says, Trump could have been lying and smearing the lie in our faces, since we all know what he was saying as false.

Press Watch · Trump’s ludicrous tattoo tirade ought to raise a lot of questionsBy Dan Froomkin

After more than a year and MANY hours in the chair, my sleeve is finally finished! So please allow me a moment to show it off 💕

Done by the immensely talented, wonderful human Matt Vaught in Orange County, CA. He’s not on Mastodon so go show him some love on TikTok (tattoo_matt) or Instagram (mattvaught_tattoo). Maybe get yourself some nice body art too 😉

"It's not often that an interview so perfectly encapsulates a politician's relationship with reality, but Donald Trump's recent sit-down with ABC News's Terry Moran gives us exactly that — a window into Trump's expectation that the press should simply bend to his version of events, regardless of whether they're true."
