What it takes in the world of Tattoos, Family Life and Absolute Work Ethic | Mystik Arts | Ep 4

The Authentic Me: Hosted by Mel Yu

Episode 4, I am honoured to welcome my dear friend, Mystik Arts, a world-renowned tattoo artist specialising in script, lettering and black and grey. Mystik grew up from humble beginnings with graffiti on the streets of Brisbane, Queensland. He quickly transformed these skills from writing on trains to tattooing on skin. From a tattoo apprenticeship in 2012 and a background in business construction, Mystik has now built a lifestyle of his dreams. He works and lives on his terms with his own private tattoo studio, Harpoon and Highwater (Queensland). The studio now has 11 resident artists specialising in all styles of tattoos and has had over 60 international and interstate guests. Mystik himself has tattooed all over the world, but COVID-19 and nearly losing his partner Daniella and his son, Hunter, was a huge wake up call to redefine his priorities and focus.
He teaches us that money, business and career does not come without huge sacrifices. He gives us advice on following your passion, finding quality time with his family and the importance of human relationships and being kind.
I am so empowered by this man's story, if you ever see him at a national tattoo convention or can visit the studio in Brisbane, make sure to say hi and have a chat!
