all i could find about it being "racist" were links to buzzfeed and huffington post so i'd say the majority of the mentally sane population wouldn't consider it offensive in the slightest.
honestly you have to reach pretty far to make the claim that it's racist, i think if it turns out cool people will think it's more awesome and different than anything else.

there were, however, a few articles on health and safety risks posed by the blackout tattoos, so just make sure you know all the risks about whatever they're talking about.

i think it's a really cool idea. out with the old, in with the new.
