Integrated Tattoo Healing Interviews : Stephanie Birdwell

I put out a request to those who have been tattooed by me to share their stories and insights into tattooing and Integrated Tattoo Healing. Freedom was the first. It was Magickal. This project is my attempt to collect the personal wisdoms of tattoo guests to support their theories that tattoos offer an alternative to traditional therapy.

Hopefully, along side other tattooist (such as Tamara Santibanez) who have taken up the call, I will be able to support that bigger picture via academia. To take these incredible stories and develop research to further uplift the concepts and cultures that birthed these wisdoms of tattooing as a justice centered and trauma informed path of alternative healing.

Thank you all 🖤 BIG Love
