Having applied ink to the skin of hundreds of Inuit all around Canada, Nunavik traditional tattoo artist Arsaniq Deer is set to receive an Indspire award on April 10 for her dedication to the craft.
Deer, originally from Quaqtaq, is one of four Indigenous youths in Canada to receive the honour.
“I never thought I would receive an award like this,” she said in an interview while tattooing a client.
