Femmes are allowed to survive. When I was 29, and in an abusive relationship, I got a tattoo for my abuser. When I was 32, I got it covered up. My guest on this episode, Lina Aquino, is the artist who did the coverup. Tune in to hear the story, and to learn more about why the world needs feminist, trauma-informed tattoo artists like Lina.
Ever thought a tattoo could be more than just art? In this eye-opening episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', hosts Leilah and Erica sit down with Lina Aquino, a feminist tattoo artist who turns scars into symbols of strength. Lina shares her journey from surviving gender violence to becoming a beacon of hope for others through her trauma-informed cover-up tattoos. The conversation dives deep into how tattoos can be a powerful tool for reclaiming one's body and story after abuse.
Leilah also opens up about her own experience of getting a tattoo for an abuser and later covering it up with Lina's help. This episode isn't just about ink; it's about survival, feminism, and the importance of finding the right support in the healing process. They also touch on the broader challenges faced by sex workers and femmes, like systemic oppression and the struggle for mental and physical safety.
With a mix of heartfelt stories and practical advice, this episode offers a unique perspective on recovery and empowerment. Perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of art, healing, and advocacy.
