Ever thought tattoos could be more than just skin deep? Sunny Buick's story might change your mind. Raised in a small cabin in British Columbia and later navigating the chaotic streets of California, Sunny’s journey is anything but ordinary. She found herself amidst the vibrant tattoo scene of San Francisco, where her career took off. But behind the colorful ink was a battle with drugs and alcohol that nearly derailed her life.
In this episode of 'The Recovery Revolution', Sunny opens up about her tumultuous path to sobriety. With a single hippie mother who nurtured her creativity, Sunny faced constant displacement and addiction before finding her footing. Now, as a successful tattoo artist, she shares how embracing her artistic spirit and giving back to the community became her lifeline. If you're looking for a tale of resilience, creativity, and transformation, Sunny's story is a must-listen.
