I started this podcast to show off the absolute gems of humans I get to tattoo and interact with on a regular basis. I am a very very very lucky person.
Karin is one of those people. I have been tattooing big gorgeous detailed artful realistic flowers on her for about two years. Our conversations range from the personal/political to the intimately personal, to food, to clothes, but mostly how to be a decent person in this world.
In this interview we talk about what being basic means, and also alternative, how hard it is for those of us raised with little attention to our needs to stand out as adults, to receive attention. I ask Karin why she, at fifty, decided to start covering her body with big gorgeous florals, how it has changed her self perception, and also what other parts of life have been making her happy lately.
We are sweet and funny and quippy, and it will give your good vibes if you listen in.
