Creativity is an act of rebellion. 

JJ Jackson is a tattoo artist and the owner of Awake Arise tattoo studio. He’s also in two bands - Fizzy Milk and The B*****d Sons.

In this episode we journey into the world of tattooing, following JJ’s unconventional career path. He shares his honest thoughts on the industry, how it’s changed since he started, and the role social media has played in that. 

We talk about designing your own version of success and avoiding comparing yourself with others, and the links between creativity, rebellion and culture.
