In this third episode of The Monday Show, I sat down with my friend Tanya Buxton, an accomplished tattooist who is making waves in the world of medical tattooing. Tanya recently opened her new studio, Paradise Tattoo in Cheltenham, England, a space designed to welcome a diverse range of clients, including those who may not have previously considered visiting a tattooist for medical procedures.
During the conversation, Tanya shares her journey from traditional tattooing to her current specialization in medical tattooing. She discusses the transformative impact of her work, which ranges from reconstructive tattoos for breast cancer survivors to scar camouflage and other medical-related procedures. Tanya emphasizes the emotional and psychological benefits her clients experience, often viewing these tattoos as a final step in their healing process.
We also delved into the challenges and rewards of starting a new business in the tattoo industry, especially one with such a unique focus. Tanya explains her vision for Paradise Tattoo as a safe, inclusive space where clients feel comfortable and supported, regardless of their background or needs.
This episode provides listeners with an insightful look into a lesser-known area of tattooing, highlighting Tanya’s passion for helping others and her dedication to her craft.
