Rian started his journey in the early 2000s by seeking out professionals to help improve his tattooing skills and found that many shop owners only offered training in what they considered safe practices, leaving little room for progress and growth. Determined to learn and improve, he embarked on a journey to increase his knowledge, which allowed him to analyze the tattoo industry and identify areas where he could make a difference.
