In March, Craig hosted a panel for Tattooed Professionals at the ACPA Convention in Houston, Texas. The theme for this year's ACPA Convention was "Be Bold" and on his third attempt submitting this panel idea to other conventions, it was finally accepted! After all, what's more bold than being tattooed!

Big thanks to the panelists, Ryan Bunts, Liv Parks, Katy Hamm, Patrick Romero-Aldaz, and Rasha Cheek for contributing so much to this rich conversation on tattoos, professionalism, and how they allow us to convey different aspects of our identities while connecting with our students!

We are grateful for the ACPA planning committee for allowing us to use the audio from this presentation for the purposes of this podcast. Granted, we couldn't use all of the audio - primarily due to some audience questions not coming through in the mix - but what we are able to share makes for a quality conversation on the changing dynamics of professionalism in higher education.
