This is Your Ink Story, a podcast sharing the inspirational stories behind the body art folks wear.
I'm your host Ande Lyons, and every week I'll bring you fascinating and moving stories from guests' tattoo journeys.
I don't have a tattoo, but for decades I've asked folks with body art, please tell me your ink story. And their eyes would light up as they shared the stories behind their tattoos. And my heart would be filled with a deeper connection from learning why they permanently inked their body with that design.
You'll hear the stories about a tribute to a loved one, or an expression of one's personality and passions... to sharing a significant triumph, or the grief from a deep loss, or a reminder to keep going in spite of insurmountable obstacles and life's challenges.
It's my hope that these fascinating and moving short stories from all walks of life will leave you feeling more connected to yourself and to the world.
Those of you who have tattoos - you'll find INKspiration for your next design.
If you're like me, someone who has no prior experience with tattoos, you are going to learn so much about this amazing art form. And perhaps you'll soon be seeking a local tattoo artist for your new body art.
Please share your thoughts and inspirations from these conversations in the comment threads, wherever you're tuning in, or over on Instagram @tellmeyourinkstory, or leave a voice message via the mic icon located at yourinkstory.com.
Thank you for tuning into Your Ink Story! If you were inspired by a story you heard, it would mean the world to me if you would share, rate and review the podcast.
Waving from Boston and wishing you a delicious day everywhere you glow. Cheers!

Madalyn Sklar Reveals the Symbolism and Significance Behind Her Tattoos

Welcome to the first episode of the Your Ink Story Podcast, where we dive deep into the fascinating world of tattoos and the stories behind them.
For over a decade I’ve followed the brilliant social media strategy advice from our first guest, Madalyn Sklar, a social media maven and tattoo enthusiast who began her ink journey at the age of 17.
We all know how social media can shape our impressions of others, especially when it comes to appearances. With two full sleeves prominently displayed in all her online photos, folks have often wondered about the stories behind Madalyn’s tattoos.
From a small unicorn tattoo she saw on a fellow student in junior high school to the vibrant heart on her upper arm at seventeen, Madalyn's passion for ink has been a lifelong journey.
Over the next 32 years, often using her birthday to add a new tattoo, Madalyn filled her sleeves with beautiful memories and reminders from her extraordinary lived experiences.
Madalyn's tattoos hold deep meaning and serve as a constant reminder of what truly matters to her. From honoring her beloved pet to advocating for marine animals, each tattoo tells a unique tale.
Join us as we explore Madalyn's tattoo journey, debunk the myths surrounding tattoos in the 80s, and discover the power of self-expression through ink on this first, INKspiring episode of the Your Ink Story Podcast!
