Description

Imagine trying to rebuild a life after incarceration—facing society’s stigma and judgment. It’s difficult enough as it is, but if you have a tattoo that no longer tells your story, it makes matters worse. In this episode, I’m joined by two incredible guests, Onica and Brian, co-founders of Ink Intervention, a nonprofit changing lives through mobile tattoo removal. They are on a mission to give people a real shot at a second chance—and they're doing it in a way that's truly inspiring.

We get into the heart of their work, why they started it, and how this powerful initiative helps former offenders rebuild their lives and thrive in their communities. This conversation isn’t just about tattoo removal—it’s about healing, opportunity, and hope.

In this episode we talk about:

• What makes Ink Intervention’s mobile model so powerful and how it removes the typical barriers to tattoo removal
• The emotional and practical challenges former offenders face when trying to reintegrate into the community
• Why removing stigmatizing tattoos can be a crucial step toward finding employment and personal healing
• The power of community partnerships and how Onica and Brian are building a support system for sustainable change
• How even small contributions—whether financial, networking, or words of encouragement—can make a huge impact

This episode is packed with inspiration and actionable ways we can lift each other up and create safer, kinder communities. Whether you’ve ever struggled with judgment or you just believe in second chances, you don’t want to miss this one.
