We don’t have to cower in the shame of our trauma. We don’t have to hide our ink. They are a part of our story....The women featured in [the book] demonstrate vulnerability and courage as they share their personal tattoo narratives. These women represent diverse cultures, ethnicities, and professional contexts, but they are united by their use of tattoos as a tool for processing traumatic life experiences. The images, stories, emotions, and experiences in this book collectively tell a compelling story. A story of skin and ink. A story of trauma and adversity. A story of courage and resilience.”Check out her website: https://www.thetattoomonologues.com/Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TattooMonologues/Visit Celeste's Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast! www.amazon.com/shop/celestethetherapistStay ConnectedIs there a topic you'd like covered, have questions or would like to discuss podcast sponsorship, Submit your request here: celestethetherapist.com/stay-connectedLove what Celeste is doing and want to support the show?
