Ink Deep

Lily

Welcome to Ink Deep. This podcast will delve deep into the links between tattoos and mental health, body image and gender/ identity, telling the unheard stories of self-care and self-love that accompany tattoos. Your host is Lily (she/her), a stick & poke tattoo artist based in London. I began my own tattoo journey 13 years ago and I've always been interested in the relationship between tattoos and identity. Finally, I'm sharing some of the stories and conversations I've had that inspired this podcast.

In each episode I talk to a different person after tattooing them, poking into their real life experiences before, during and after getting a tattoo.

Content warning: episodes may contain themes about mental health, eating disorders, self-harm and gender/ body dysmorphia. If you choose to listen, please do so with care and kindness.
