Oh hi Geoffs! Just your favorite inked girlies here this week to discuss all things tattoo! First Madison takes us through post-mortem tattoo preservation and the history is pretty nuts. Next, Spencer is giving us the lowdown on memorial tattoos and what they really mean. We’ve got an obituary for an OG tattooer, and one for a good time gal. We’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminalllllls of course!
