Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

What about those fake tattoo sleeves what are like stockings with the print on them? No idea how well these cover the existing tats tho

That might be better for skin coverage too, teargas and pepper pray aren't just eye/sinus irritants, they affect the skin as well.

Until the fabric absorbs the chemicals and is a constant source against your skin until removed

Do you know that this happens or are you just speculating?

It's pretty common knowledge for anyone who works with chemicals that the first thing you do when something spills on your clothes is to remove your clothing, otherwise it's just keeping the chemicals in contact with your skin for it to prolong absorption.

It’s also common knowledge that protective clothing can prevent chemical contact with skin.

As long as it isn't absorbative, so if you can find a tattoo sleeve made of nitrile or latex go ahead.

Lab coats are just normal textile. The point is you have to take it off immediately in case of accident. You do the same with the sleeves. No problem, much better than having the chemicals directly on your skin.
