It's our painful pleasure to welcome Jonnie Frederick, owner of Electric Empire Tattoo in Butler, Pennsylvania--and chosen family of The Swearapist. Jonnie and Lisa talk about their history, the deeper-than-skin culture of tattoo, "ink therapy," marriage counseling, and a bunch of other random shit while Jonnie tattoos our host.
