Note from Ande:

I’m a tattoo curious person. 

I’ve never had a tattoo, but I’ve always been fascinated by tattoo art and why someone permanently inked a design on their body.

In fact, for decades I’ve asked perfect strangers with fascinating tattoos “would you be willing to share your ink story with me?”

Their faces would light up as they shared their tattoo stories, and I felt a deeper connection with them through the ink stories that highlight what we all have in common as humans. Triumph and loss, celebration and fears, children and Beloveds, sweet pets and inspirational quotes that keep us going through the dark days. 

In August, 2023 I turned that deep curiosity into a mini-series podcast called Your Ink Story, where we focused on igniting and inspiring conversations that go beyond the surface and create a deeper connection.

I learned so much about the art of tattoos and the heart behind tattoos from these INKspirational conversations! 

As I bring this series of INKspirational conversations to a close, my heart is filled with gratitude and appreciation for all the guests who joined me on this ink story journey. 

Their willingness and courage to bare their souls and share the raw human stories we all have in common will inspire listeners around the world for years to come.

Please take a moment to tune in to the Your Ink Story podcast –you’ll discover how body art can spark conversations, inspire truth, and shape a more inclusive and understanding world.

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey - it’s been an honor and a privilege to share these heartfelt ink stories with you.
