As well as the above, Junior discusses why he started We The Lifers, what a “lifer” actually is as well as many other topics surrounding an alternative lifestyle including heavy music and people’s issues with “screamo”, how the stigma surrounding tattoos & piercings has changed over the years, what the alternative look is all about and how one gets treated differently because of it, why Junior moved over to England from Brazil in ’97, enjoying what you like and not worrying about other people’s opinions and so much more – if you’re not a fan of heavy music this is still a great listen as it gives some perspective on the more aggressive side of music & subsequent culture without actually having to listen to any heavy bands!

Part 2 will be released next week, where the discussion on face tattoos continues, as well as controversial & drug tattoos, the dangers of fame, the questioning of racist jokes, collaborations, the Church of Satan and many more topics!

We The Lifers site - two t-shirts that Mike wears regularly can be found here which are pictured on the Instagram of Genuine Chit-Chat which will be with the post about this episode!

In case you missed it, last week Mike spoke with Dr Glenn Livingston, about his book “Never Binge Again”, along with the power of advertising in the food industry, how one can reprogram their own mind into eating better, how Glenn got into psychology & eating, the three brains; reptilian, mammalian & human and how they affect one’s perception of diet, how the world has been changing nutritionally with an influx of fast food but also health-awareness, opinions on fat-shaming and much more!
