Tigers, snakes, sharks… People love to get animals tattooed on their bodies. What can this tell us about our attitudes towards animals, and our own identities?
In Animal, writer and adventurer Blair Braverman presents stories exploring the curious and fascinating ways humans relate to other animals - from magpies to spiders to creatures of the deepest oceans.
In this episode, Blair hears from tattooist Cameron Hay and scholar Margo DeMello, on the symbolism of animals in tattoos. From icons of working class masculinity to personal tributes to individual animals, tattoos can mean everything… or nothing at all.
