Description
A tattoo artist's unflinchingly honest memoir recounting his journey to the depths of Hell and back. From being taken away from his family at the young age of 7. Sent to the juvenile justice system at the age of 10. Certified as an adult and sent to the state prison system at the age of 16. Released from the prison system at the age of 21 after 11 long years of incarceration. Follow this young man's steadfast journey of discovery and adventure as he travels around the country seeking a place to call home. With raw vulnerability, this man lays bare his destructive mental illnesses and the far-reaching consequences it wrought on his life and on those around him. Rather than being defined by his trauma, this man has integrated his painful experiences into his identity. Through it all he understands that stress and struggle can be strengthening forces and approaches his setbacks in life not as an end, but as a challenge to adapt and overcome. In the pursuit of his passion, travelling the country seeking beauty and art. Read about how his experiences have given him a deep, authentic understanding of suffering, allowing him to connect with and offer meaningful support to his family, friends, and tattoo customers.
Life's journey has etched itself not just in his memory, but on his very being. Though he carries few visible scars, his demeanor has a settled, weary grace that speaks of countless burdens lifted, and miles travelled. There is an undercurrent of stillness to him, a quiet strength that has replaced the restless energy of youth. This is the story of a boy who grew up facing his own mortality and emerged as a man with profound clarity about what truly matters in life. This is the story of that boy's journey home.
