Wonderful discourse giving perspectives from art history, social history and historical context about the fascinating and temporally constrained life of the tatoo.
A true gem of a podcast that finds that perfect balance between a captivating conversation and thought-provoking research. It manages to keep focused on its main theme while being impressively versatile in its choice of subject. As fascinating as it is entertaining!
These episodes are so well researched and thought-out - there’s so many layers to each topic. The way the connections between art, science and popular culture are explored actually feels like a genuine conversation between friends, rather than a lecture.
Should’ve known it would be good, as they open with a Kim Petras song…
So fun and educational! As a nurse, I love hearing the medical side of things and learning more about art in a comedic way 🙌🏼
Highly recommend!!
Have just listened to the first episode of Drawing Blood and I’m so excited for the rest of the series! It’s super interesting and informative but also really entertaining - the hosts do a great job, really know their stuff, and they’re so much fun to listen to. If you like podcasts like Noble Blood you’ll love this - it’s just as entertaining and actually seems way better researched. Can’t wait for the next ep!
