Description

In this episode, we hear from Deven Current about tattooing, sports and the importance of sobriety, family and faith.

 

Deven is an Ojibwe tattoo artist, who connected with his culture later in life. Deven grew up in the Twin Cities and, at a young age, fell into drug addiction. He ended up incarcerated, but his time in prison introduced him to an unrealized talent - tattoo art. He turned that talent into a career and recently into his business, LuckyDuck Ink and Art in Atwater. Through his business and tattoo career, Deven honors a friend who passed away. 

 

Deven also spent time as a competitive mixed martial artist.

 

In 2025, Deven and his wife Sabrina are celebrating six years of sobriety and enjoying family time with their 11 children.
