Show Notes:
I have noticed in pop culture, the undeniable role, emotional impact, and widespread number of people who now have tattoos as a form of identification, expression, and public affirmation. This has never been truer than for those who are battling or have overcome cancer.

Listen now to hear this very informational unbiased discussion that may help those considering getting a tattoo.
