But how exactly can you identify tattoos on badly preserved skin? Why were people tattooing in the past? And how can you juggle independent research with a day job? Tune in to this month’s episode to find out!Also don’t forget that our APN members will be getting a special bonus episode later this week featuring a discussion with both Danny and Aaron about their collaborative projects!
