About our production
In this short, but revealing, video production we interview multi-all-Ireland winning Camogie star Aisling Thompson. We get under Aisling’s skin by looking at what’s on her skin… We quickly develop a sense of the real Aisling Thompson as she takes us through her top five tattoos. Each tattoo has meaning for Aisling and she explains how they tell a story about what’s important to her in life… Her sporting successes, her family, the fierce, hard edged side of Aisling that she brings to her sport and to competition, versus the softer side of her personality.
