    Amazing podcast. Keeps me motivated for my tattoos. Keep them coming guys 🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻
  • mwrocks
    Great Podcast for a soon to be collector
    Watched a fair amount of the YouTube back catalog, and for a person getting their first tattoo provides a lot of good information to avoid getting a bad tattoo and getting up to speed with the word of tattooing. Very interesting to learn about the process from the Artists perspective. Hopefully makes it easier to avoid the disconnect that can happen due to lack of understanding between an artist and the client due to lack of knowledge. Great Podcast, keep up the good work guys.
  • rhyno__

    Worth your time!
    Great information on tattooing and look at the artist point of view. You should probably listen to a few ep. before getting that first tattoo, also these guys have a great sense of humor and on occasion bring in some interesting guest.
