“The biggest imprint of a tattoo is who you are at that point and why you got it””

Drawing from 15 years of experience as a tattoo artist, guest Mark Nara has gained a unique perspective on the spiritual and psychological impact a tattoo has on the human condition. Mark champions tattoos as intentional ceremonial markers that honor a chapter of life and give our lives meaning. The conversation expands to the nature of identities themselves, such as why we create a self-image, how to interpret missteps or wrong turns in the evolution of identity, and how gender fluidity and transformation plays a role. Listen in for a primer on navigating the uncharted waters of this modern world and developing your own keen sense of discernment!
