This week on Meg Talks, I sit down with artist, tattooist, and entrepreneur Nish, known as Marked by Nish.
My emo bredrin is the definition of a rising creative force, whose work is rooted in Black tattoo culture, African art, and spiritual traditions.
Nish grew up in Moss Side, Manchester, surrounded by criminality, gang life, and chaos. From witnessing police brutality to an insane near-death experience (almost getting shot) to building a respected reputation within the Black tattooing industry, Nish has an incredible story.
This conversation goes beyond art, ink, and aesthetics. We get into the inner world behind her creativity: the darkness, the healing, sobriety, and the power of discipline and choosing yourself.
This week’s topics:
• The spiritual history of tattooing in Black culture.
• The realness of tattoos: symbols, energy, and rituals.
Hope you enjoy the episode
