In this episode of the Tattoo Teacher podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Andres, an educator and student advocate, about his journey into teaching, the importance of mental health in education, and the need for creative subjects in schools. We discuss the challenges teachers face in providing pastoral care, the impact of social media on students, and the necessity of preparing educators for the emotional demands of their roles. The conversation highlights the significance of art and creativity in education as a means of self-discovery and personal growth for students. In this engaging conversation, we explore the profound connections between art, education, and
personal expression. We also discuss the emotional impact of art, the significance of tattoos as a form of self-expression, and the intertwined nature of art and religion. We emphasize the importance of creative subjects in education, the value of embracing failure as a learning opportunity, and the
integration of technology in art education. We also touch on the authenticity required in teaching and the personal meanings behind tattoos, concluding with a call for connection and collaboration among educators.
