Lisa addresses some absolute fuckery that's been afoot lately, and braces listeners of The Swearapist Podcast for impact. It's not cute to bully artists, to steal creative content, or to exploit others for financial gain while claiming to be creating a "safe space." If the shoe fits, bitch, slip that thing on and run far away from us.

It's our painful pleasure to welcome Jonnie Frederick, owner of Electric Empire Tattoo in Butler, Pennsylvania--and chosen family of The Swearapist. Jonnie and Lisa talk about their history, the deeper-than-skin culture of tattoo, "ink therapy," marriage counseling, and a bunch of other random shit while Jonnie tattoos our host.
