That’s a tattoo you won’t be ashamed of in 10 years…

When U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to silence colleague Elizabeth Warren as she gave a speech last month, complaining that “nevertheless, she persisted,” few expected his words to become a battle cry for women.
But amid worries about the impact of Donald Trump’s presidency on women’s rights, “nevertheless, she persisted” is showing up on t-shirts, protest signs, social media and at a small tattoo parlor in Minneapolis, where hundreds of women are getting the phrase etched onto their skin.
The tattoo has proven so popular that the Brass Knuckle Tattoo Studio is booked for the month and temporarily ceased taking new appointments.
“Every single women has had a Mitch McConnell or 10 or 20 in her life trying to tell her how to be and what to do,” said Nora McInerny, a 34-year-old author and blogger who triggered the tattoo trend with an accidental public Facebook post.
