In this episode of the podcast, we speak to the hilarious Andy Swarbrick, owner of the Left Hand Path tattoo studio based in Canterbury, New Zealand.
We had a great time talking about his peculiar journey into an artistic career (hint: it involves drawing on things that he wasn't supposed to be drawing on). We also spoke about ethics and practicality regarding getting a new tattoo, including how to pick the correct artist for your idea, tattoo aftercare, and considering respect for culture when choosing a design.
We concluded the podcast by talking about Andy's turbulent journey with his mental health and how his art has been both a muse and vice when trying to rehabilitate himself out of darker periods in his life.
