Why did Jazzmyn Wollfe get a Camille Vasquez tattoo?

Jazzmyn Wollfe went viral online after getting a Camille Vasquez tattoo following the end of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial. The woman also explained her reasoning behind the tattoo while speaking to one of her 83,000 TikTok followers:

“[The tattoo] Symbolizes strength, confidence, speaking up and unapologetically seeking truth and justice.”

Wollfe told Newsweek that she often creates her own tattoos and shared that the Vasquez tattoo held a lot of meaning and symbolism:

“I do most of my own tattoos and have never had anybody respond so passionately to what art I put on my body. Many of my tattoos have meaning, many don't, but this one in particular symbolized a lot for me.”

The artist then shared that she decided to get the tattoo as she was extremely impressed by Vasquez while watching the Depp vs. Heard trial:

“I was blown away by the ferocity and confidence Camille's examination was delivered with. ”

Wollfe also praised Vasquez for fighting for who the lawyer thought was an abuse victim:

“What I saw was a strong woman, holding her ground and doing everything in her power to bring justice to who she believes to be an abuse victim, and shine light on a type of domestic violence society often seems to ignore or refute entirely.”

She continued to appreciate the attorney’s professionalism and said:

“I understand she was simply doing her job, however anyone who watched her in action couldn't possibly deny she did so in an incredibly effective, articulate and impressive manner.”

The tattoo artist further emphasized on her reason behind writing “objection” and shared how the phrase held a personal meaning for her beyond the legal terminology:

“I wanted it to be a reminder of the much broader things it represented to me. I chose to simply put 'objection' opposed to further using one of the legal phrases that's become popularized/ referenced, such as 'objection, hearsay' because I thought it better to keep it a simple reminder rather than more of an homage to the actual trial.”

Wollfe also addressed the negative comments about her tattoo and alleged that she was even asked to “kill herself” over it:

“I get that anything you put online is subject to criticism, and at the end of the day there will be people who agree with you, people who don't, and people who fall somewhere in the middle but never should harassment and encouragement of suicide be the response.”

Wollfe further discussed the tattoo while speaking to The New York Post and said that as a survivor of abuse herself, she was “blown away” by Camille Vasquez’s work in court. However, she also clarified that her admiration for the attorney does not signify her opinion about either Depp or Heard:

“My admiration for her diligence and demeanour has no relation to my opinion about Amber, Johnny, or anyone else whose personal narrative I can't speak on.”

Jazzmyn Wollfe also said that she will continue to maintain her stance on Camille Vasquez being an individual whose “unwavering pursuit of justice” has inspired many women and girls on a professional and personal level.

“Can you all in the comments chill out? It's HER body. I happen to think the tattoo is pretty cool. So relax guys. It's not like that tattoo is on u.”
