About Author

Brook Warren

I was born and raised in rural Utah as the youngest of four siblings in a Mormon household. My parents divorced when I was four, and by the time I was seven, my mom had welcomed another child. Those early experiences shaped much of the story I now tell in my upcoming memoir, a raw and honest look at childhood, faith, and resilience.

Life moved quickly—I married right out of high school at 17, and by 18 I was working at Walmart, where I’ve spent most of my career. I found a creative outlet in cake decorating, a passion I carried for nearly a decade both at work and at home. Over the years, I transitioned into the pharmacy, where I continue to work today.

Art, though, has always been at the center of who I am. Since I was very small, I used drawing and creating as a way to process life and express myself. After high school, I dreamed of becoming a tattoo artist, but it wasn’t until I was on maternity leave with my first and only child—just before turning 30—that I finally stepped into the field.
Today, tattooing is more than a career—it’s a shared experience. For me and for my clients, the process is therapeutic: each session becomes a conversation, a connection, and a moment of transformation. My favorite styles are blackwork, Gothic, and Halloween-themed tattoos—dark, bold, and expressive designs that let both me and my clients explore creativity without limits.

Raised in rural Utah, Brook Warren transforms personal experiences into honest storytelling, sharing resilience, healing, and hope while inspiring readers through courage, creativity, and authenticity.

Writing has been another form of therapy. My book began simply as a way to put everything on paper, but over time I realized it carried more than just my story. It became a way to reach others who might find connection, understanding, or even strength in the words.

Now, my journey is split between two passions: sharing my story through writing and expressing art through tattooing. Both are deeply personal, both come from a place of survival and growth, and both are dedicated to connection—whether through words on a page or ink on skin.
