    "Figure Out Who You Are & Do It On Purpose"

    In today's episode I had the pleasure of talking to the beautiful Rosalie Hurr about her tattoo journey, what it's like working at Things & Ink and all about her amazing journey into self-love. I personally am endlessly inspired by Rosalie’s willingness to share her thoughts and feelings over Instagram and think her voice in battling the fat-phobic society we live in is really important going forward. Hope you feel the same and that you enjoy us mostly giggling through this!

    It's time to chat about Sexual Assault in the Tattoo Industry

    This weeks episode is a little different than the norm. It's just Dolly today and she's addressing something important. It's time the industry started talking about how often Sexual Harassment and Assault occurs in the Tattoo Industry and how imperative it is that things change to keep our clients safe. If any of your mental health triggers are tied to Sexual Assault please give this one a miss! It's hugely important to spread the word about this issue to please post about it all over your social media accounts and tell your mates! The more voices we have the more we will be heard.

    "The Truth Is Out There"

    This week I chat to my good friend (and fellow x-files enthusiast) Jessica Sharville. Although Jess is a successful illustrator in her own right she also manages a tattoo shop part time. She had some interesting perspectives on how people get through the tattoo process and how it's often useful to have someone like her around in the shop to keep clients calm and motivated through their sessions. We also touch on the importance of the kind of energy created in a shop and how that can impact a clients experience. You can check out Jess' amazing illustrative work on instagram @jessicasharvilleillustration and also the shop she works in @tattooworkshopbrighton.
