Skin Deep
By Mags Creative + Gareth Thomas
Hosted by former professional rugby player and HIV campaigner Gareth Thomas, Skin Deep explores the memories behind the ink. Gareth has been tattooed all over the world, and for every tattoo that marks his skin, there's a story that shares the best and worst moments of his life. In this podcast series, Gareth invites celebrity friends and extraordinary people to talk through their life in tattoos and explore topics such as identity, mental health, and self expression. American novelist Jack London once said “Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past."
