Listen "#7 - Inked Up & Insecure: Watch This Before Your Next Tattoo"
Episode Synopsis
Tattoos speak when words fail. Ink becomes rebellion, identity, memory, armor. Some use it to leave their past behind. Others to keep people at a distance. The louder the ink, the more it says. Is there a desire to be someone else entirely? Expression becomes escape. Camouflage becomes confession.
