This week on Stay & Slay, we’re joined by our friend Matt, better known as @itsmatttats, a talented tattoo artist with a heart as big as his art. Matt holds a special place in our story; he’s the artist behind our late best friend Shay’s petunia tattoo. We loved getting to sit down and really dive into the world of tattooing; it’s not something you get to talk about in depth every day! From the stories behind the ink to the creative process, this episode is full of heart, laughter, and a whole lot of appreciation for the art form. Stay tuned at the end for a special message from Matt.Follow us:Instagram: @stayandslaypodTiktok: @stayandslayPersonal: @melblaber & @krissyjerkatisMatt: @itsmatttatsSong ID: Lift Me From the Ground (San Holo)#mentalhealthpodcast #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #stayandslay #stayandslaypod #podcast

In this episode, we unpack pathological lying, how to protect your peace, the resources available to both you and those affected, and how to respond with empathy while setting boundaries, as well as where to seek help.
