Listen "Redefining the Tattoo Experience by Reconnecting Modern Society and the Ancient Wisdom of Tattooing"
Episode Synopsis
Let's have a conversation about personal identity and the
role that tattooing plays in this process.
According to the Pew Research Center, the percentage of
people with tattoos varies by country, age, and gender, but it is estimated to
be between 10% and 20% worldwide:
- **United States**: 30% of Americans have tattoos, with 40%
of those under 35 years old.
- **Italy**: 48% of the population has tattoos, the highest
rate in the world.
- **Europe**: At least 12% of Europeans have tattoos.
- **Canada**: One-third of Canadians have tattoos, with
women and Millennials being more likely to have them.
In our increasingly secular and commercialized world, tattoo
artist and guide Mark Nara offers a tattooing approach that is both spiritually
meaningful and innovative. Many people spend countless hours seeking guidance
on the nature of their inner selves, identity, and spiritual essence through
books, podcasts, retreats, and various practices.
This prompts several questions: Why do we exist? What is our
true purpose? How can we better understand if there is a universal
consciousness or some spiritual force? More importantly, how do we connect with
it? Mark is eager to discuss these topics and provide practical ways for
individuals to explore these questions for themselves.
His message reframes the understanding of tattooing,
positioning tattoos as significant tools in our pursuit of self-discovery. With
over 15 years of tattoo experience, Mark has dedicated his career to redefining
the tattoo experience by reconnecting modern society with the ancient wisdom of
tattooing as a sacred and transformative practice.
People often believe their tattoos hold meaning, but what
does it truly mean to get tattooed? Our tattoos can serve as a powerful, yet
often overlooked, means of navigating personal growth and self-development.
Drawing from his own journey, which includes apprenticeships in both
contemporary tattoo culture and traditional indigenous contexts, Mark
integrates traditional wisdom into a modern framework, making it accessible to
those outside of traditional cultures.
Unlike the mainstream tattoo industry, which frequently
focuses on aesthetics and individual artistry, Mark’s guidance is rooted in
intentionality and a commitment to personal betterment. Through his platform,
Tattoo Pathway, he teaches individuals how to approach tattooing as a form of
self-refinement and personal evolution, offering insights and guidance that are
unique within the industry.
This perspective sets him apart as the go-to guide for
individuals seeking to symbolize their transformative experiences.
