On this episode we discuss with Ray Grey (@RAYGREY2017) from Manny's Art Gallery - Tattoo & Piercing,

Ray has been a Tattooist/Piercer of over +27 yrs. As a Hopi-Tewa artist, Ray advocates towards better understanding how cultural appropriation is an issue in profiting of the history of indigenous people, and how certain symbols should be honored in tattoo space in order to respect the culture of Native Americans in the United States. We discuss about the racist history in the earlier days of tattooing and how new issues are evolving as we enter a new era of social media exposure.

Thank-you Ray for educating us on a special cause - the MMIW movement. We want to honor and promote the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women organizations across North America. According to Wikipedia, "human-rights crisis disproportionately affects Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States, notably those in the FNMI and Native American communities", if you would like to learn more about this please visit https://mmiwusa.org to learn more about how you can help spread awards to missing people in our communities.
