About this episode

A 2022 YouGov study suggested that 26% of British people have at least one tattoo, a statistic which reflects just how the perception of tattoos has changed over the years. They used to be reserved for subcultures, but are now very much in the mainstream, and seen as a positive way of expressing one’s identity.

Nevertheless, getting a tattoo can be dangerous if not done correctly. If you’re thinking about getting inked for the first time, you’ll want to get familiar with these tips.

How can I choose the right tattoo artist? Well if I don’t like it, I can always get it removed, can’t I? What about after the tattoo is done?
