Growing up I often told myself I didn’t have the ability to connect deeply with the people I encountered, so I didn’t give myself an easy time making friends, and later in life I feared working with people

This fear of mine controlled over half of my life in various ways, but being intrigued to go against my fear 8 years ago and become a tattoo artist, it showed me there was actually nothing wrong with me

This was just one of my limiting beliefs

Had I not worked through this fear, I wouldn’t have known all the beautiful people I get to spend moments with today

I wouldn’t have understood how much I needed human contact on a deeper level through conversation
And I wouldn’t have realized that there was certain echos from my past that needed treating & reevaluating

Coming to terms with new revelations about myself also allowed me to recognize similarities in others

That there was a pattern to our traumas and human needs and fears
That a lot of us were seeking the same thing..

To be seen, understood and to connect deeply

So I wanted a curated space to talk about it and be in it enough to understand it, in hope of helping others make the same changes in their lives, through understanding themselves

Tattooing gave me this opportunity, to be vulnerable with you while you open yourself up to me

It’s a connection I couldn’t have imagined and I’m so grateful to have had so many opportunities because of you choosing me

I don’t expect miracles to happen overnight as they certainly didn’t for me, but one talk after the other, one shared moment after the next, we get closer and closer to ourselves

So this space that I call The Realm of MIIM is an extension of me, built to harmonize with the energies of you

Let’s work through our fears together so we can evolve into the versions of ourselves that’s waiting to come forth
