Your Skin. Your Story. | Nick Keiser’s Tattoo Journey & the Role of Tattoo Removal

In this episode of the Your Skin. Your Story. podcast, we sit down with Nick Keiser—tattoo artist, shop owner, and creative force behind @deadmeat—to explore how tattoo removal is helping him and his clients evolve.

Nick shares his raw journey: from getting his first tattoo as a rebellious teen to building his career as an acclaimed neo-traditional artist. He opens up about the tattoos he regrets, how fading and removal have allowed him to reset his own skin, and how he guides his clients to make room for the art they truly want.

From self-expression to self-refinement, Nick reminds us that change is part of the process — and our skin can grow with us.
