In the first episode of the new educational series, Mark unpacks the concept of spiritual tattoos. The discussion centres around the intrinsic connection between tattoos and spirituality, and how each tattoo symbolises an individual’s journey and transformation.
Emphasis is placed on the importance of intention, the pitfalls of commercialised spiritual tattooing, and the role of universal and personal symbols in this process.
The episode also touches on the communal and ceremonial aspects of tattooing, self-responsibility, and choosing the right artist. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their motivations and approach the tattooing process with care and respect.
