At the end of a long tattoo session, my mind's jumbled with half-formed fragments of thoughts. Occasionally, I might spill a secret or say something I didn't mean...

I loved exploring the concept of "ink therapy" and when lines might be crossed...

I admit today's #Substack might be a tough read for many people. But it's fascinating stuff. I spoke to @MylesJackman and @alicecsnape about the #EunuchMaker case and why consenting to have part of your body cut off or modified is not a legal defence.

Our editor @alicecsnape spoke to @totalcrime about why we can't consent to harm, why that is problematic, the recent eunuch maker case and the conviction a few years ago of body modifier Brendan McCarthy

Fascinating deep-dive into secret spilling and the concept of "ink therapy" - have you ever said something unintended while getting tattooed...?

My beautiful contributor copy of Tattoo You @phaidonpress dropped onto my doormat... I've written the opening essay about how much has changed in the tattoo world over the last decade - and the tattoo artists who are making it happen...

[Alice Snape @alicecsnape]

This story's been years in the making. Mixed feelings now it's live @CosmopolitanUK I've spoken to hundreds of women. Sexual assualt has been a huge open secret in the tattoo world. Predatory actions brushed off with "oh that's just what he's like" #metoo

"I love to share people’s backgrounds to prove that tattoos aren’t just for celebrities or criminals like some people like to think!"

Even though he has been convicted, he is "still in denial". His defence barrister noted that "his family supports his current position of denial, which is unhelpful."

"Both complainers ought to have been safe in your company," noted the judge, "but that was not the case."

Some bright in the darkness of the #tattoometoo movement. Andrew Stewart who worked in Scotland has been found guilty by a jury on five counts of sexual assault and rape over the course of a decade. He has been jailed for eight years.
