Finding Peace Above Water: Tattoo Legend’s Foiling Journey

Tattoo's and foiling is a peculiar combination but LIFT explains why it just works… a great insight. 


Watch how master tattoo artist Juan Salgado discovered healing and freedom through eFoiling, transforming his perspective on art and life. Mastery shows up in unexpected places. In this honest conversation with Nick Leason, two Puerto Rican innovators break down what happens when decades of dedication to your craft leads you to something entirely new. Juan's been pushing the boundaries of art for years, just like we've been pushing what's possible on water. Juan's custom design captures that ethereal space where water meets air, that indescribable feeling when your mind goes quiet. It's not just about the art or the foil – it's about that moment when everything else fades away and you're just… flying.
