An Intimate Journey of Self-Expression and Empowerment

Mia's tattoo journey spans three decades and her stories are both fascinating and inspiring. From her first tattoo in the 90s during the outlawed tattoo parlors in NYC to her most recent empowering tattoo in Guadalajara, her experiences will leave you in awe!

Welcome to Episode 27, a fascinating tattoo odyssey filled with empowering ink stories.

Our guest, Mia Voss – a mouthy and opinionated brand ambassador, live streamer, podcaster and building inspector – reveals her ink journey, starting with her first tattoo in the early 90s during the outlawed tattoo parlor days of NYC to her latest profound and captivating tattoos she got in Guadalajara, Mexico.

I’ve known Mia for 12 years, and you’ll hear me gasp as she shares her first 3 ink stories very few folks know about (including me!), because these tattoos are carefully placed in a very private space.

Discover how Mia's tattoos have become more than just ink on her skin—they are symbols of empowerment, self-honor, and a testament to her resilience and personal growth through life's challenges.

As a bonus, Mia enlightens us about her experience with plant medicine and its impact on her life. 

It's a conversation you won't want to miss!
