What do a pastor, a spiritual director, and a tattoo artist have in common? On the surface, perhaps not a ton. And yet, as we explore the topic of Tattooing and Presence we realize that when done well- pastors, spiritual directors, and tattoo artists all give their presence to people in order to create a deeper connection between each other and self. At their best, all should be people that create spaces that are safe and healing.
In this episode Phil and Jenny visit with Stephanie Adelina, the founder of Pegasus Tattoos (a Queer tattoo collective) located in Elmwood, in Dallas TX.
This conversation discusses tattooing as an art form. Including:
- Stephanie's ability to provide a safe space for all the people while also creating gorgeous artwork on their bodies.
- Tattooing as a somatic and healing practice and Pegasus' hope for the future.
- Living creatively and authentically.
- Forging your own path when the industry you're in isn't all that it could be.
- Pegasus' connection to Booker T Washington, the performing arts school in Dallas.
- Stephanie shares about being an Enneagram 7!
