Welcome to another INKspirational conversation on Your Ink Story!
Meet Dr. Mo (Melissa Dittberner), a passionate advocate and educator in the field of addiction counseling and prevention, and hear the deeply personal stories behind her tattoos, from her roller derby origins to her journey through academia and recovery.
