Today we have Steven Kane on the show.

We start by talking about his early life being a Jack of all Trades, and his many inspirations that showed him that was the path for him.

He speaks about being a holiday rep, and how he was introduced to other cultures and their expressions of tattoos, as where he came from, only criminals and low life had tattoos.

Giada shares the philosophy behind her very first tattoo, which relates to Steven’s story about his friend having kids young and the freedoms lost when one decides to take such a path.

We take a tangent about dandelions and what an incredible plant it is, and the benefits of natural medicines.

We reminisce about the Salthouse, a beloved pub in Galway where Steven worked. Giada shares about her Jellyfish tattoo that is loosely tied to the Salthouse.

Steven finally starts talking about his tattoos. He starts with one that is similar to Giada’s first tattoo. He believes in the power of curiosity, open mindedness and asking questions, so he has a number of question marks.

He compares life and society to a cage, the bills and commitments that chain you down in life. His cage tattoo is about recognising your cage, building your cage, accepting your cage and choosing your cage.

Steven shares about one of his sillier tattoos he got on a whim. He goes on to explain his love of Urdu and Arabic script and the tattoos he has in that style. The privacy and beauty of it.

We divert into a few random tangents, all funny and interesting topics.

Who is Steven Kane?

Steven Kane is a dreamer at heart, he believes the adventures we have, the people we love, the dreams we chase, the laughter we generate, the lives we touch and the people we inspire is the true meaning of one’s life.

Steven’s own tattooed journey is symbolic of this, to permanently mark oneself with not only artistic expression, the visual beauty but meaning and best of all invoke questions. Steven feels that tattoos should at the very

least strike up good conversation but at their best make people question not only the tattoos meaning but how the tattoos engages with them.

Steven has never felt settled in any one job or position in his working career, the pursuit of contentment within the work place has always eluded him, from “delivery driver/ taxi driver/ night club security/ holiday rep/ bar

manager/ brewery & distillery manager/ brand ambassador/ barber and a few more to come. He once thought this to be a bad thing as a younger man but in his later years has seen it as a strength rather than a weakness. Forever moving, always evolving and finding depths to skill sets he never knew he possessed has kept him young of heart and mind and always hunger to learn more, to one day find away to bring all his skills together is

the ultimate goal. The pursuit of financial wealth is no longer the over all driving factor in his life. Steven now has a strong passion for self sustainability to one day have small holdings where health, growing food and personal development become his wealth. “Dreams never die”
