S4E76: "Written in Ink" with Gabriele Wright

From cheerleader to tattoo shop owner, Gabriele Wright has never followed a straight line and that’s exactly what makes her story compelling. A 2009 Owensboro Catholic graduate, Gabriele began in cosmetology (thanks to her mom signing her up), fell in love with the art, and eventually carved her own path into the male-dominated tattoo industry. Now the owner of False Idols Tattoo, she shares how mentors shaped her journey, what it took to earn her apprenticeship, and why doing things her waymatters. Beyond the ink, Gabriele opens up about identity, proving people wrong, and who she is outside of her craft…Scrabble boards, antique hunts, and all. This is Gabriele.. and this is Written in ink…
