Tattoo Warrior | Jacob J. Lopez | Ink.Body Art

Send us Fan MailLove doves and ink egrets,This episode I'm thrilled to welcome long-time Arizona tattoo artist and founder of Ink. Body Art: the inimitable Jacob J. Lopez. In this far-reaching and illuminating chat, we touch on the intersection between art, therapy, and tattoos. We discuss how tattoo artists are often low-key therapists, and we even zoom out and contemplate tattoos as ritual, ceremony, and perhaps even rites of passage in a society that badly undervalues the significance of weaving the sacred into the profane. Jacob also shares some memorable and humorous stories from 12+ years of professional tattooing. Don't miss Tattoo Warriors, a one-of-a-kind tattoo art competition, put on by Mr. Reyes Ink. Tune in live on YouTube this Thursday, May 16 at 9AM AZ time and chat with Jacob and the rest of the artist contestants in real time!
