Ink, Growth & Altered States with Owen Smith

In this episode of The Photon Collective, I sit down with tattoo artist Owen Smith for a deep, unfiltered, and wildly fun conversation. We dive into his journey into tattooing, what it takes to become an artist in the industry, and his experience tattooing both me and other clients.

But that’s just the beginning. We explore psychedelics, drug use, and their role in creativity, healing, and self-discovery. Owen also shares his love for inner work books and how diving into our raw, childish, and even dirty thoughts can actually lead to profound personal growth and maturity. We also touch on meditation, self-awareness, and the many ways we navigate expansion—through art, altered states, and embracing the absurdity of it all. This one is packed with insight, laughs, and plenty of real talk—don’t miss it!
