Interview with Bold Journey, August 2025.
Hi Sky, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I assume many people go through life without ever truly feeling that they’ve found their purpose. I think it’s fair to say that discovering purpose rarely comes from taking the practical route. More often, it’s born from risk—big risks—the kind that demand you put everything on the line. Most people choose not to take that path, and that’s okay. For many, stability matters more.
But for me, the idea of another option never really occurred. I chose the arts because I had a natural talent, supported by years of training. Still, I didn’t expect where that path would lead. I stumbled into tattooing after a long, strange series of events in my late twenties.
At first, I thought it would be an easy way to make money. It has been everything but that. And yet, I stay with it—because of everything that has unfolded since I began. The growth I’ve experienced by putting myself out there, taking risks, meeting people from all walks of life—those experiences have been more transformative than all the years before combined.
Before tattooing, life felt aimless. Now, I have something to fight for.
In a way I still can’t fully explain, tattooing saved me. It embedded itself into my soul. And like something alive, I’ve had to nurture it, protect it, and sacrifice for it. I didn’t realize how much this career would demand of me—or how deeply it would shape me—until I was already inside of it.
