A Portland tattoo artist has sparked fierce online backlash after advertising a $50 (£37) tattoo promotion tied to the anniversary of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. The controversial offer encouraged customers to get tattoos on their necks in the same area where Kirk was fatally shot, turning the anniversary into what the artist described as a 'Kirkiversary Special.'
The promotion quickly circulated online, with critics accusing the tattoo artist of making light of a politically motivated killing. The controversy comes as social media users debate a wider trend of posts mocking Kirk's death ahead of the first anniversary of his assassination.
