This two-hour online workshop discusses trauma and PTSD, how it exists within the practice of tattooing, and practices to facilitate a safer and more empowering experience for clients. Narrated by tattoo artist Tamara Santibañez, this presentation covers communication methods, building trust with clientele, and considering needs beyond basic client care. It situates our practices within a larger political imperative and emphasizes sharing power towards collective agency, elaborating on the liberatory potential of tattooing.

“Heard about these through Instagram, and was blown away after taking in both the Trauma Informed Tattooing and Compassion Fatigue, Boundaries & Burnout presentations. Professionally, this gave me a lot of new understanding for experiences I've had throughout my career. The format was very informative, casual, and professional. I texted the weblink to everyone that works with me and haven't stopped thinking about it all week. Thanks for putting these together, especially at such a critical time!” -Brooke Michael Engelhart, Evoke Tattoos
