From Vision to Ink: The Journey of Intuitive Tattooing

Welcome to the very first episode of Her Ink Empire! In this episode, I’m sharing something a little different. Recently, I had the opportunity to be a guest on Rebecca Lapage’s podcast, where we dove deep into my journey as an intuitive tattoo artist. I wanted to share that conversation here because we explored so many meaningful aspects of my story and how my sacred tattoo process came to be.

During the interview, I opened up about how my journey with intuitive tattooing really began—from being that creative kid who loved face painting to discovering my own unique approach to sacred tattooing. I talk about how visions, meditation, and spiritual guidance have shaped not just my art but how I build deeper connections with my clients.

We also discuss how my practice has evolved over the years—from complex, ritualistic sessions to a more intuitive and focused approach that feels more aligned with who I am today. My hope is that this episode inspires you to think differently about your own creative process and how you can honor your story through your art.

Key Highlights:

• The early inspiration behind my creative journey and love for art.
• How spiritual experiences guided my approach to tattooing.
• Building an inclusive, welcoming tattoo space that breaks industry norms.
• Why I shifted from elaborate rituals to a more intuitive, streamlined process.

I loved having this conversation with Rebecca, and I’m so excited to share it with you. Let me know what resonates!
