On this episode of Beneath the Skin, we learn about Inuit tattooing with tattoo artist, historian, activist, and all round fascinating person Maya Sialuk Jacobsen.

 

Maya is a Greenlandic Inuit artist who learned her craft the mechanical way with machines before a shoulder injury brought her to working with traditional Inuit tattooing techniques and using her heritage to preserve the practice and the history that goes with it.
