OG pro skateboarder Brian Wenning is opening up about his past and how things have changed since his release from jail.
He recently posted an Instagram story, saying that his time in solitary confinement taught him patience. It was a brief message, but one that said a lot.
Wenning has always had a strong presence in skateboarding. From his parts with DC and Habitat to the way he approached the streets, he built a reputation as someone with serious skill.
But life off the board caught up with him. Things went sideways, and he ended up behind bars. Now that he’s out, there’s been a shift. Not just in how he presents himself, but in how he talks about life.
One of the biggest changes is something you can actually see. He’s removed the tattoo from his face.
For him, it’s more than just cleaning up his appearance.
It’s a choice that reflects how he wants to move forward without being constantly reminded of past decisions. In his words, it’s part of trying to become a better version of himself.
People who grew up watching Wenning might still remember the clips, the shoes, the style. But now, instead of chasing a spotlight, he seems more focused on real change.
It’s not about redemption stories or big comebacks. Sometimes, it’s enough to see someone quietly trying to do better. That’s where Wenning is now.
And for those who’ve followed him through the highs and lows, it’s worth paying attention.
