Ep 026 A Journey of Healing and Cultural Revival with An Indigenous Tattoo Artist Makwa Mashkiki
Can tattoos be more than just art on the skin? Join us as we explore this profound question with our guest, an Indigenous tattoo artist, who takes us on a journey through the emotional and spiritual depths of traditional skin marking. Discover how generational love and cultural revival have shaped their practice, starting from informal hand-poke sessions among friends to giving their first spiritual tattoo. Listen as they recount the transformative moment of teaching and marking their own mother, a poignant act that underscores the healing and reconnection these sacred traditions offer.
From the evolution of experimental tattooing with a coil machine to the fusion of contemporary and ancestral techniques, we highlight the versatile artistry of our guest Makwa Mashkiki. Their approach not only honors cultural heritage but also educates and impacts the community, blending modern technology with traditional methods.
Art becomes a powerful tool for healing and activism in this episode. We delve into stories of overcoming addiction and trauma, where creative outlets like tattooing and beadwork provide a path to recovery and community bonding. Our guest also shares wisdom on navigating cultural appropriation and the responsibilities of tattoo artists in respecting cultural protocols. This isn't just about marking skin—it's about the profound connection between self-trust, healing, and the enduring spirit of Indigenous cultures.
