About me
For years, I clocked in and out of jobs that left me feeling like a cog in someone else’s machine—unfulfilled, uninspired, and quietly raging against the monotony. I always knew I wanted to create something for myself, something real, something that tapped into my darker thoughts and love for the visceral, raw power of heavy metal. That longing to create simmered beneath the surface as I wrestled with bouts of depression, woe, and the mental health struggles that so many of us can relate to.
Inkedmetalsoul was born from that frustration and a deep desire to blend my personal passions—tattoos, metal, and the occult—into something that could resonate with others. I’ve been a metalhead since the age of 8, but it wasn’t until I was 45 that I had an epiphany: it was time to get the tattoos I had always dreamed about—dark, symbolic expressions of my innermost thoughts. I decided to let my skin tell the story of my battles, visions, and the soul-deep desires that have shaped me.
After recovering from an almost fatal brain injury, I emerged changed—physically, mentally, and emotionally. That experience, as harrowing as it was, ignited a fire in me to stop waiting and start creating, so began my journey. I wanted to craft something meaningful—not just for myself, but for others who felt the same disillusionment with the status quo. Inkedmetalsoul isn’t just a clothing brand; it’s an embodiment of my life, my struggles, and my triumphs.
So here I am, putting it all on the line. This brand is my way of saying that we all deserve something that reflects who we really are—something high-quality, affordable, and deeply personal. Inkedmetalsoul is for those who walk the darker paths, those who wear their ink and their scars with pride. Welcome to where metal meets mysticism and personal rebellion is stitched into every thread.
