Produktbeschreibung

In this raw and unfiltered memoir, renowned tattoo artist Dennis "Dizzy" Doan shares his stories and artwork chronicling his coming of age as a Vietnamese American hailing from the heart of San Diego, California. Rooted in his heritage and neighborhood, Doan vividly illustrates how he battled against family challenges, economic adversity, gang violence, and the complex realm of mental health struggles, while also carving his own path as an artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Amidst these struggles, Doan's narrative shines with how he harnessed these difficulties as fuel for his ambition and sculpted a path that simultaneously ignited hope within himself and also within his communities, ultimately breaking barriers not only for himself but for everyone who has felt they are "not good enough" or "don't belong." Within these pages, Doan imparts profound insights on conquering societal norms and internal barriers, empowering readers to weave their own unique stories of triumph. With Memento, Doan invites all readers to become his apprentices-to remember, witness, imagine, and create.
