Tamara Santibañez talks about what it is like to be stretched between two "worlds" within tattooing, and the weight of tattoos on those who get them and those who do them.

Tamara's Informed Consent and Trauma-Aware Tattooing brochure can be found here.

Doreen Garner shares what drew her to tattooing, and the positive effect that increasing diversity can have on the industry.

You can get tattooed by Tamara and Doreen at Saved Tattoo in NYC.
