Tattoos & Birds Part I

Description

Tattoos, Birds, and Stories with Nima Kharazi – Part I

We welcome back friend of the show Nima Kharazi, host of the podcast My Gastric Sleeve, for a calm and curious conversation that begins with tattoos and gently drifts into birds and personal stories. The ink is barely dry on this episode as Marco and Nima explore tattoo experiences, meaningful symbolism, and the unexpected moments that come with body art.

The journey begins with a tattoo experience Nima had that didn’t quite go according to plan — a story that leads to reflections on patience, artistry, and the importance of choosing the right tattoo artist. Along the way, we also learn about what Nima calls his “Persian flaw”, and the conversation gradually spreads its wings into the world of birds.

Nima explains why several of his upcoming tattoos will feature birds, sharing how different species represent members of his family. The discussion unfolds in the relaxed and meandering style listeners have come to expect from The Insomnia Project, making it a perfect companion for winding down or drifting toward sleep.

This is the first of a two-part episode, so there’s more calm conversation still to come.

And as always, if you don’t make it to the end because you fall asleep — we consider that the highest compliment. 🌙🕊️
