Dave Navarro Talks to Oliver Peck About his Struggles with Mental Health | INKED

[@pythonkatie1985]

I never questioned why Navarro was/is a judge. I thought they stated pretty clearly that he's there as a client.

[@jayprivacy1900]

I'm surprised people have to actually be told. Well, maybe I'm not.

[@paulapayne7940]

A tattoo devotee is necessary. Need someone who gets tattooed. Dave doesn't give a shit if it is applied perfectly if it is butt ugly. He'll tell it.

[@joshinmenow6247]

Yup seas one ep one when the whole competition was being explained thats was exactly what was said is that dave is the judge that ia there with the customer or client perspective.

[@levi-dh9fu]

Fr, I always thought it made great sence, he's there to give the outside opinion

[@darkdeepdepressed]

exactly what I thought

[@forlorn_candysnore]

I’m really glad that they addressed why Dave is a judge. I know he gets a lot of hate for it, which he doesn’t deserve because Oliver is absolutely right: most of the tattoo community is the clients and not the artists, so it makes perfect sense to have a “client” as one of the judges.

[@i_love_rescue_animals]

Holly Vallone Agreed! From what I have watched of the show - I feel that Dave makes some good comments too - which I generally agree with.

[@forlorn_candysnore]

It's also good that sometimes Dave asks Oliver and Chris things like "I actually liked this, what's wrong with it?" and then they explain what's technically wrong with it, which helps to educate the audience.

[@noone8627]

Also, his boots are fucking sick.

[@chetrok1]

Im glad as well now i feel a little better about him being on there

[@snowball5360]

i dont think that questioned needed asking. I think dave answered it on the first episode when he said he is there for the canvas perspective. And i like the fact that dave says "I like this tattoo" whats wrong with it? because there is several tattoos that look badass, and then they make you look closer and ohhhh. I see.

[@dr.zombiex]

Am I the only one who wasn’t bothered by Dave being a judge? I always saw him as the voice of the customer. Plus, he’s just a badass dude. Like why wouldn’t you want him to be apart of anything?

Nah, sounds about right to me considering his speaking voice isn't very deep. It was beautiful. I'd love to hear them cover STP's "Atlanta".

"The biggest strength is to show your vulnerability". Wise words Dave, you are incredibly handsome, obviously. Your looks attracted me to Inked and to this video. But your humble heart, wise words and intelligent speaking kept me here. Can't believe I've never heard of him before the Ink Master show. As someone who has struggled with depression, this video was the most soothing, articulate and heart-felt therapy sessions I needed. It truly is a great strength to seek help and connect with your loved ones when you need it. Anyone struggling out there, please stay strong. You will make it. Thank you Dave, Peck and Inked for bringing attention to this. :')

[@Selene666]

I think it's really important to promote empathy and sympathy towards others within the tattoo community (which is known to be 'macho' and 'tough'). Deciding to get better, to recover, to share your troubles, to talk about your mental health... These are all positive actions. Suffering by yourself isn't 'cool' or 'being tough.' You don't have to be alone. You are not alone. Always feel free to ask for help. There are others who are going through the same thing, there are others who want to help. Take care!

Amen Dave. I've lived most of my life with depression(on and off) caused by disabilities/disorders, loved ones dying, and being on so much medication. My depression is one of my reasons I love getting tattooed, it helps me like acupuncture and it also helps me view myself in a better way! I agree that it does need more attention(especially with children). Yeah, depression is depression. I once almost hit rock bottom with my depression and that was the most darkest days of my life(I even had severe suicidal thoughts as a kid). One of my tattoos is actually based off my depression., it's my music speaks tattoo. It reminds me of how music saved me from my suicidal thoughts and reminds me that i'm strong.

I am not only a fan of your music Dave, have about 13 tattoos, a huge fan of the show, I am also a combat Veteran. I went through some really hard times when I got hurt and my military career ended. It was hard burying friends and soldiers who died when deployed, however, I have lost more friends since returning home. 22 Veterans commit suicide a day, that's one every 65 minutes. Many of us are dealing with PTSD, depression and substance abuse (through self medicating).

Does a tattoo client appreciate their ink, their experience and their “presence” with what they wear? If so, GREAT!! As it’s really not about whether anyone else likes what another person likes. That was the appeal of tattoos, piercing, clothing options, hair styles, makeup and such at one time. Now that tattoos are mainstream, we “need” someone to tell us if it’s good?? First tattooed in 1978; bodysuit by 1986; multiple trophies, et cetera ad nauseum… What actually matters is whether I like what I wear! That’s the case for us all.

Great. Loved the song at the end. Oliver really had a beautiful voice 😃

[@wbraymond]

Have that much more respect for these guys for having this conversation. I'm thankful I never went through with my sucide, but they said it. The people you least expect are struggling. My closest friend's and family didn't know I struggled until they were seeing me in a mental health hospital getting treatment

Dave is a beautiful person with a beautiful soul I would love to sit and have a conversation with him . He is very self aware and aware about the world and issues ♥️

love this interview

Absolutely amazing! Stoked to hear about solution, Dave and Oliver. Been struggling for years w my own addiction. I asked for help and have support today. Fentanyl and heroin took my soul and I realized I was at at my lowest bottom ever BUT there is a way out. I chose to place myself around sober people that work a program and am simply doing what they did aka following directions (for once instead of continuously letting the insanity in my head run riot) love you both for addressing this publicly 🤘🏼

[@jimmyh9146]

A pair of absolute legends and truly nice people, makes me look at the world in a different way 🤘

[@franelliott8561]

Dave is great and real. Really appreciate him telling his story. Depression really sucks and it's really an illness. Who wants to isolate themselves and sob you feel like you're not worth anything no matter how hard you try. Please be kind. Thanks Guys

I've never even questioned his presence on the show lol I really do trust his judgement

[@eringoodwin3079]

I'm so thankful that you guys did this vid. It's nice to know that influential individuals are working with others to bring mental wellness to the forefront. Somehow in 2020, and at the time of this vid 2018, mental health problems still seem to hold such a stigma and it's important that we all put a stop to that.

[@jamesb8083]

My dad is both a pastor and a director of a psych ward so it was commonplace to have schizophrenics and bipolar folks around from a young age. Now as a paramedic I love those people. For some reason, if you have a mental health issue you're some kind of monster. Sad deal.

[@xXxphenomenaxXx]

Definitely. Coming from experience being on a psych hold, they treat you like you not wanting to live is such a disgrace to humanity. It's fucked.

[@dawnoshea-farley866]

Many points raised here get glossed over. Good stuff. 1. "Depression is depression" 2. A flexible, self-determined schedule can help people manage life with mental illness. 3. Social media, sadly misrepresents life, in general. Nice folks!

Great interview! My favorite episode was the one when the people with down syndrome designed the tats. Those tats were awesome and you guys handled everything so well. Kudos.

[@Layla.H.79]

Bravo for that initiative!!! As a IV drugs addict myself for more than a decade with mental health issues... I struggle a lot during all my life... I'm now in my 40's, clean & sober and thank God I'm alive! But it's still really hard... But the thing is...you're right! I was always looking good, fun, happy... a shit load of people was speechless when they known the insane amout of drugs I was doing and how I was depressed for weeks in my bed... anyway... Thank you Dave & Oliver and everyone! Great interview!
