OG professional skateboarder Brian Wenning is back in the spotlight. This time, skaters are noticing a personal choice that reflects a serious shift in his life.

Wenning shared a personal update on social media.

He wrote, “After they released me from Prison I said to myself I’m staying on a path to “Righteousness “ and removing my Face Tattoos was very high up on my to do list…Grateful for my Family and Friends 🙏
One Day at a Time ✊”

The post hit differently for a lot of people. He was one of the most talked-about skaters during his time with DC Shoes and Alien Workshop.

His technical skill, clean lines, and classic parts helped shape a generation of street skaters. But as years went on, things got rough behind the scenes. Now, he's speaking openly about where he's been and where he's trying to go.

Face tattoos are often tied to a certain lifestyle. Removing them isn’t just about changing how you look. It’s about shedding layers of a past that no longer fits. In Wenning’s case, it seems like he's making peace with old choices and trying to move forward with more intention.

His message was simple. Stay on track. Focus on the people who matter. Take each day as it comes. It wasn’t about trying to impress anyone. It was about honesty. And for those who followed him through the golden era of skate videos, this update felt real.

This isn’t about a comeback. It’s about someone choosing to live better. Removing tattoos, reconnecting with family, trying to stay present. Those are big steps.
