Fresh Ink: Brittanys Journey Begins
Welcome to The Artistry Chronicles, the podcast where we explore the powerful connection between art and mental wellbeing. This week, we're sitting down with Brittany, a fresh-faced tattoo artist who's just landed her dream job at a new shop. Brittany's always used art as a way to navigate her own anxiety and self-doubt, and now, she's turning that passion into a career.
In this episode, Brittany opens up about the challenges of starting out in a competitive industry, the vulnerability of inking someone's skin permanently, and the unexpected therapeutic moments that come with it. She shares stories of how she uses tattoos to mark milestones in her mental health journeys – from celebrating overcoming adversity to reclaiming ownership of her body. We discuss how the act of creating, whether it's sketching a design or enduring the tattoo process itself, can be a form of self-expression.
Brittany also talks about the pressures of being new in the industry how she maintains her own mental wellbeing amidst the creative chaos. We delve into the importance of finding a supportive community, setting boundaries, and remembering that staying humble, is the key. Join us as Brittany shares her inspiring journey of finding her place in the world, one tattoo at a time, and how she uses ink to not only create art, but to find her own inner peace
