We had the good fortune of connecting with Kyle Greer and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kyle, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
I see risk as a necessary part of growing not just as an artist, but as a person. Moving to a new city as a tattoo artist was a major leap for me. I left behind a familiar environment, existing clientele, and a very supportive community all to start fresh in an unfamiliar place. That decision pushed me to adapt quickly, put myself out there, and find creative ways to connect with new clients.

Risk, when taken with purpose and preparation is how I evolve. Not just in my career but in my art. Playing it safe means stagnation and I refuse be stagnant.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I try to base my art and brand off of purity. I try to make everything as pure as possible and give my clients work that fits their indenity as close as possible. It’s been a long journey getting where I am today and I feel like I’m just now getting to the starting line. I’ve learned alot of lessons but one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to travel at your own pace. Simply because your career/life isn’t a race but a marathon of ups and downs. If you can navigate through that than you have no choice but to win eventually.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Places I love to visit around the city are Victory Park. There you can hang out and watch the game at Hero or get milkshakes from Black Tap. I also love to visit Klyde park, they have a lot of different food trucks and a big on the lawn where they play movies sometime.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shoutout my family for supporting me and understanding the sacrifices being made for a career such as this.
