Ep 33 | Tattooing Through Turbulence | JB's Journey Through Tough Times, Heartache, Family, Love and Happiness

Touched Out!

Welcome to Episode 33 of Touched Out: A Mental Health and Parenting Support Podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend JB, a successful tattoo artist, to discuss his extraordinary journey from our teenage years working at Kmart in Bendigo to becoming a business owner and devoted family man.

Join us as JB opens up about:

Tattooing and Creativity: How JB's chaotic upbringing and punk rock influences led him to a career in tattooing, marked by resilience and artistic expression.

Blended Family Dynamics: Insights into navigating life with his fiancée Karley, her daughter Dolly, his son Wyatt, and their shared son Silas, including the emotional challenges of co-parenting and maintaining positive relationships with ex-partners.

Overcoming Personal Challenges: JB's candid reflections on battling depression and substance abuse, and his journey toward personal growth and emotional healing.

Through heartfelt stories and raw honesty, this episode is a testament to the enduring power of friendship and mutual support. As we recount the highs and lows of JB's journey, we hope to inspire listeners with tales of resilience, the importance of prioritizing children's needs, and the pursuit of happiness in a life filled with love, creativity, and unwavering support.
