Episode Synopsis

Indigo De Souza could be a spokeswoman for the DIY ethos. Of the more than dozen tattoos along her legs, arms and hands, several came from her own hand. "I stick and poke a lot of them, just with a needle and ink. I did this one, this one and this one," she said, pointing around her legs. "Like this one is a drawing I did when I was little. And this is an image of the church, this church." This church-turned-residence, in Madison County, is where De Souza has lived since January. Friends come over to chill in the wide-open former worship hall downstairs. Crammed into a small, quiet space upstairs, there are guitars, keyboards and a couple of weather-beaten drums. This is where De Souza's DIY musical expressions begin taking shape.
