The Story of my New Chest Tattoo

Tell me more about the healing power of tattoos! Love that idea

Beautiful! I’ve been a tattoo artist almost 20 years, it’s always a rare joy to see such lovely work on someone. I’ve been exploring the healing power of conscious tattoos for 15 years now, it something I’m super passionate about. Loved seeing you get the scarification too, what an honour!,

Love this Joy!

Hi I am 78 and 5years old ago I did my firs sky dive 3 years ago and I was 20 when I got my first tat................Joy thank you for who you are

That would be a cool one man! And yeah, boldness is rewarded.

Hi Mike, I plan to get a tattoo on a carnivore phylogeny on my arm. If in fact You told us I think on Youtube about thought of being accepted or rejected from the BBC; for the simple fact of having tattoos, but We all run that same risk. Even Trudeau himself has tattoos.

Not many clean skins left anymore is there 😆 Thanks so much bro. Appreciate that you're here!

Love the tattoo and story/meaning behind it. I just got back from Argentina and it seems that everyone has a lot of tattoos. I already wanted more (I have 3) but I am being strategic about it precisely because I want to reward myself for doing something to push my fear and I am still on that path... Which leads me to another "I needed to hear that" from me! Definitely doing some scary-for-me stuff this year. I like the idea of envisioning myself meeting me for coffee and what would I want to be like. Good food for thought. Thank you as always for continuing to inspire!

I was curious, so I looked it up on Google and according to it, Fernando Lamas used the phrase, "You look marvelous!" first.

Sounds like Austin Powers. And thanks bro!

Always love seeing people in ACTION. That's why I say all of this, to make action happen.

That's exactly right Sam. Everyone tries to be different exactly the same way.

Mike, I have seen the video about when you first go the sleeve tattoo and I thought it was a real work of art. As one who doesn't really like tattoos, (Would never get one myself,) I thought yours was amazing! I liked that geometric design feel of it. Your guy is a really talented artist! Since you have chosen to get a chest tattoo also, I'm glad the same artist did it and that there is some continuity in style in which it was executed. "You look marvelous, baby!" Who used to say that? Anyway, way cool! I expect many videos of you shirtless, now. :-)

Hi Mike, I am one of the people who needed to hear this! I've just made a bold decision on something in my life and it's pretty scary (and also exciting, it's a mixed bag of emotions that I seem to ride through like on a rollercoaster). Hearing your story feels reassuring and inspires me to trust in my decision. Thank you for sharing it!

Awesome tattoos. Your story reminds me of the "Purple Cow" principle that I learned in marketing and advertising. Whatever you're doing or selling, the *worst* thing to do is to think "let's see what's already working, and do that." No one wants to see new products or new people that are just the same as existing ones. You gotta be a "purple cow," something so new and weird that people see it and want to say "woah, look at that, did you see that?" Just as you were first trying to fit in with the standard "BBC model" but didn't get anything until you dared to do something that was different! Standing out and daring to be yourself is what brings success, not copying others and blending in. You're a great role model, Mike! Thanks again for your videos.
