I'm taking a couple of months off to focus on other things. I am in the process of coming out with new content soon.

One of the questions I’ve been repeatedly asking tattoo artists on this podcast is what their journey to becoming a tattoo artist was like. In general, I hear a lot of stories of how “tattooing saved my life”. I’ve even seen shirts at tattoo conventions worn by tattoo artists that have that line printed on the front. When sitting down with Maiah Kiana of NorCal Tattoo, the topic of Mental Health and its changing landscape in the tattoo industry became the main theme of the conversation.

One of the things that stood out for me in the conversation I had with Dre Meza was the fact that I had no idea really how to run a business or what success felt like. In fact, looking back on it now there was a lot of fear surrounding that and the identity I adopted as a “boss” was one that tended to fluctuate between extremes of being standoffish or overbearing. There was no conversation really in my life surrounding the idea of the influence of adverse childhood experiences on running a business.

In these episodes, I have an amazing conversation with Dre Meza. He is a long time friend and colleague of mine whose journey as a tattoo artist is one filled with many ups and downs. He even spent time working with me at my shop, Ink Addiction Tattoo, back in the early to late 2000’s. We both have found ourselves working together again at NorCal Tattoo in Arcata, and he also works part time at his own shop, Lullaby Lounge. It was awesome hearing his perspective on the chaos that went down at my shop and we are very honored to be able to share this conversation with you!

I get pumped to talk about one of my experiences growing up on the Reservation of Hoopa, in California. The conversation with Roxy “drummed” up (pun intended) a lot of old feelings of being left out and a longing for the experience of connection with nature, my peers and my ancestors. This is the perspective that I bring into the shop when tattooing people.
