Über diesen Titel

 What if you’re not late — you’re just becoming? In this episode of Needle Me This, Colin sits down with one of his closest friends and longtime tattoo client, Emma Smith, for a conversation about growing up, changing paths, and learning how to live intentionally without losing the parts of yourself that matter. Emma shares her journey from college chaos to stability, earning her master’s degree in social work while working full time, and building a life rooted in patience, boundaries, and self-trust. Together, they talk openly about societal timelines, comparison, burnout, relationships, tattoos as life markers, and what it really means to feel “ready.” This episode explores: Identity shifts after college and early adulthood Letting go of who you were without erasing them Tattoos as chapters, rewards, and reminders Why bigger tattoos require emotional readiness Trust between artist and client Patience, impulsivity, and mental health The pressure of societal timelines (career, money, housing) Building a stable life without rushing it “30 seconds of courage” and choosing yourself anyway This conversation isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about allowing yourself to grow without shame, comparison, or artificial deadlines. Fresh ink. Fresh clarity. Mild trauma.
