Tattoos, grief, and the meaning we make from pain, this one goes deep. What starts as a chat about ink turns into something much more personal: identity, loss, and the courage to evolve when life asks you to. Dylan shares the story behind covering old tattoos, and how choosing beauty over biography became a way of honouring both who he was and who he’s becoming.
