We kick off episode one of season one with Philadelphia based tattoo artist, Cassie O’Neal. We talk about tattooing on all types of skin tones and pushing back against the false narrative that darker skin tones are "difficult". We also talk about building and understanding self worth in the workplace and as an artist, mutual aid in the tattoo community, and staying open to growth. It’s nice to start off this way because when the general public thinks of customer service, several jobs - like tattoo artists - are often missing from the narrative..
