Reclaiming the self 1 - Evan Dusvalt

Mads - The Tattoo Sociologist Episode 52

Welcome back to the Inky Thoughts podcast 

This time, for the 2 year anniversary of the podcast!!! (can you believe it?!) 
We are starting a new sub-series that I have long been wanting to get into, focused on how tattoos can assist people in healing after trauma as well as reclaiming a lost sense of self/identity, in the face of (perhaps also despite of) prejudice, stigma, and big life-changing events. 

And who better to start this new series off with than the awesome Evan Dusvalt, a tattoo collector, proud father, and actor, who has been through the wringer. But through everything from a recent motorcycle accident to his divorce and other life events, focusing on his embodiment through tattoos and body-building, has helped him regain and maintain a sense of who he is, throughout it all. 

But to learn any more, I highly encourage you to enjoy the full episode. 

Thank you to Evan and anyone who supports the podcast.
