Patrick’s journey continues — from bike rides in the rain just to get to work, to nearly dropping out of art school, to mushrooms opening the door to his creative breakthrough. In this episode, he shares how resilience, doubt, and relentless work ethic forged his path into tattooing, building his own shop, and ultimately, creating a life of meaning.

 We dive into:

•           The grind of surviving art school as a true underdog.

•           How self-doubt transformed into confidence and respect.

•           The leap into tattooing, haunted houses, and finding love.

•           Building a tattoo studio against all odds — even through sabotage and setbacks.

•           Deep conversations on spirituality, Paganism, Christianity, Nietzsche, and finding your own myth.

•           The power of discipline, sobriety, and creating alignment in life.

This is more than a story of tattoos — it’s about resilience, redemption, and choosing the storm to forge your own path.
