In this episode, Lee and I discuss his introduction into art, as well as his beginnings as a tattoo artist which incredibly started at the age of 11. Using ingenius methods, he began tattooing on himself and some willing friends.

Upon completing his service, he reconnected with his mentor and began to explore his options. Lee decided to come to Canada and has since opened two shops of his own, where he currently heads the team at his Kelowna location.

Lee provides insightful stories of his journey as an artist and as a man. He has dedicated himself to his personal development and has seen success follow his efforts. He gives helpful information on beginning your journey as an artist and covers a range of topics from starting out, to being a good team member and beyond.
