Tattoo Talk: The good, the bad, and the ugly

Welcome to real talk with the Roche fam! Where the audio sucks but the energy is high. Warning the last 20 minutes we had to break to take care of Emerson, the audio quality got a little wonky. Sorry, we'll do better next time. This week we add some structure to our adventure, starting with this weeks highlight reel and jumping into the topic for the week: Tattoos! If you're here for some background on why we had the aUdAcIty to not put shoes on our babe, you're in luck as we discuss the social media outrage received from our mall adventure posted on TikTok. The conversation takes a turn down memory lane as we discuss our best, worst, and meaning behind our tattoo collection. Conversation takes a turn down beliefs and we describe our perspective on faith. Song lyrics mentioned, "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." DC Talks - "What if I Stumble" Shout out to Common Difference tattoo shop in Austin, Texas - Artist Jasmine or @moxietattoos
