In this episode we highlight Iktomi Tattoo Minneapolis—Willard Male Bear, shop owner and tattoo artist, and Deanah Maria, talented tattoo artist who are passionate about their craft and community. We get to hear about the rise of Iktomi Tattoo, a space that not only celebrates artistry but also embodies the values of indigenous culture and sobriety.

We explore the significance of their sober environment and how it fosters creativity and healing within their community. Additionally, we shine a light on their nonprofit initiative, Inkshelf, which aims to uplift and support those in need.
