This episode I sit down with Michigan-based artist Carrie Metz Caporusso. Carrie is well known for their ‘roll flowers’, intricate floral designs that are placed in and around the creases of body rolls. In this episode they explain how they came up with the concept ‘roll flowers’ and we discuss the lack of representation of fat bodies in the tattoo industry. 

Content warning: this episode contains talk of eating disorders, weight loss and body dysmorphia. It also contains some homophobic language. If any of these topics could be activating for you please feel free to skip this episode.
