The Seedcast was lucky enough to catch up with tattooer and painter Hannah Medeiros. Currently working out of Torchbearer Tattoo in Providence, RI, Hannah does primarily black and grey work with a darker mood and undertone, living up to her moniker, “Sad Girl Tattoos.” This MassArt grad has been featured in various magazines, traveled for guest tattoo spots, and is highly coveted by a vast and loyal client base. In this episode we discuss how she developed her style and grew the demand around it. Hannah talks about the emotional strain that comes with the permanence of the medium, trading autopilot productivity for a more mindful, self-aware mode of working, and leaning into your sad moods and making them work for you. Follow Hannah and stay up to date on instagram @sadgirl_tattoos.
