"My entire career was manifested out of trying to prove someone wrong. I'm just fueled by spite." - Missi Blue Welcome back to the Bound by Art podcast! In this episode, I'm opening up about my wild 20-year ride in tattooing - from my early days as a stubborn apprentice to finding my groove as a pet portrait specialist. You'll hear how spite and determination (plus some Christmas ornaments!) led me to discover my true artistic voice. I share the raw truth about working with dickheads who toughened me up, why specializing doesn't mean selling out, and how being unapologetically yourself attracts the right clients. Plus, I break down my journey from barely making it during slow seasons to building a thriving specialized career that lights me up every day.
