Madison Griffiths is a Melbourne creator who wears many hats - tattoo artist, journalist, podcast producer just to name a few.
With a career that is constantly changing and becoming more nuanced, Madison has quickly become one of the champion voices for important and taboo topics. After recently diving head first into the tattoo world she has released season two of ‘Tender’ on Broadwave podcast network, providing a raw and vulnerable look into life after an abusive relationship. Madison has been working as a freelance journalist for the past few years, partnering often with Vice Australia, covering a range of topics like the march for men, and red pilled women.
Being adapt at handling challenging topics and throwing herself in the deep end, she has carved herself a space as a writer with a unique voice and thought provoking sentiment.
Tender season one walked us through a confronting and vulnerable experience in which Madison escaped an abusive relationship, season two finds Mads in producer chair with co-producer of Tender, Beth Atkinson Quinton (@bethaq) who is also the host of @theglasshouse.rrras - as we follow the story of Roia Atmar and her experience. We were floored at the production quality the team behind Tender have delivered, more importantly though, floored at the genuine, at times scary, impactful story that the season shares with us. It left me with a feeling of responsibility of care for those around us and a greater understanding of the real horror that can happen in any home.
We were lucky enough to spend an hour with her and listen to her exciting tattoo career, a few hilarious anecdotes of her time as a journalist, and a thorough walk through on Tender and domestic abuse. Tender is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify with a weekly release schedule. You can start your listening journey here.
You can keep up to date with Mads through Instagram.
