The Blue Iguana Tattoo Collective: Healing Arts

By Ian Bailey

The Blue Iguana Tattoo Collective is a raw and heartfelt memoir that begins when the author was eight, growing up in a world shaped by their parents' trauma and struggles. Raised in a household plagued by negative influences and generational pain, the author's journey is one of resilience, growth, and redemption.

The story focuses on a single father determined to break the chains of the past and provide a better life for his son. Raising him in a tattoo shop, a gritty and unpredictable environment, he comes to realize this is not the future he wants for his child. This sparks a deep reflection on his own upbringing and a desire to change his family's story.

As the father confronts generational trauma and painful family patterns, the path to healing is filled with raw honesty and discomfort. Yet, through selfawareness and growth, he learns that healing is possible, and it's possible to break free from the past and create a better future.

The Blue Iguana Tattoo Collective is not just about overcoming adversity, it's a testament to the power of education, self-reflection, and inner strength. It shows that while the journey may be hard, there is always hope and happiness possible, even after a lifetime of hardship.
