UNEXPECTED INSPIRATION
Inspiration is often found in unlikely places. So many people long to finally take the leap and start doing the things they have dreamed about for so long. But what is catalyst that takes us from dreamer to doer? Jose Tallon is the owner of Adornmment Tattoo, which due to strict zoning laws, is the only tattoo and piercing shop in Palm Springs. He shares how the art of suspension gave him the self-confidence and professional drive to start his own shop. “It’s all about finding who you are: trusting yourself, and showing yourself what you are capable of. Until I suspended I never completed anything in my entire life. I was a quitter and a recovering drug addict. My whole life I had people telling me that I talked too much, that I was a trouble maker, and that I was never going to amount to anything. Then six months into my sobriety I suspended and it changed my entire life. I showed myself what I was truly capable of. I thought that if I could do this, I can do anything.“
