EPISODE NUMERO UNO Y'ALL!This is my first go at podcasting so I'm probably going to make a lot of technical mistakes and put my foot in my mouth all the time! I'd love to hear your constructive criticism and I wanna thank everyone for their patience and understanding. For right now I just wanted to get the show started but I am going to be working on getting episodes transcribed on the regular.For this first episode I sit down with Marielle Panizales and we talk tattoos, impermanence, whitewashing, college education, immigration and how it all ties into, YOU GUESSED IT, Hamilton!You can follow Marielle on Instagram @heymariellita and as always you can follow me @midnight_moonlightttThe theme song is Kickin' Back by Mila J

Welcome to Midnight Moonlight!My name is Julie Frances, I am an illustrator and tattoo artist, piercer, and currently I manage 3 tattoo shops where I live in Miami FL.Tattoos have long been a taboo part of (colonized) western culture. I’m really interested in lifting that veil and talking about people’s experiences with tattooing and how dramatically our relationship to tattoos have changed in recent years.I’m also super interested in topics of health and wellness so in this first season of Midnight Moonlight I’ll be sitting down with some cool people to talk about their lives, health, tattoos and how they all come together.We’re going to hear all sorts of stories from people that get tattoos, do them, and even people that are scared of them. We’ll explore how health and wellness tie into tattooing, how it’s helped people own their bodies, work through trauma, and how health and wellness has in turn begun to change the tattoo scene inside shops as well.I’ll see you in the Moonlight!
