Issues of mental health are as prevalent in tattooing as anywhere. NYC tattooer, Virginia Elwood, guest co-hosts this week, along with a segment with Ohio tattooer, Gunnar. Virginia talks about her entrance into tattooing, and about how she has worked to balance her mental health, career and life in general. Gunnar discusses why he is interested in being a conversation-starter with issues of mental health in tattooing, and details his own quest of happiness.
