A trip to Bali. A moment of clarity. A little tattoo with a big job to do.
When Scott Hollingsworth heads to Bali looking for some space to think, he isn't searching for enlightenment. He just knows something in his life feels off.
What follows is a funny, candid and sometimes confronting exploration of the gap between knowing how you want to live and actually bloody doing it.
Through therapy, travel, unexpected insights, attempting multiple wellbeing practices, monkeys, rituals and one very deliberate tattoo, Scott begins examining the habits, expectations and stories that shape who we think we are. Not in search of a new and improved version of himself, but a more honest relationship with the person already there.
My Bali Tattoo isn't a guide to finding yourself, a prescription for happiness or a promise that a week in Bali will change your life.
It's a personal story about what happens after the moment of clarity - when the holiday ends, real life resumes, and all those promises you made to yourself have to survive Monday morning.
Irreverent, reflective and distinctly Australian, My Bali Tattoo explores authenticity, self-awareness and the everyday choices involved in creating a life that feels like your own.
