- So good!
Can’t wait for more! I would love to see Eddy Deutsche and Shane Tan get interviewed. Also an idea for a continuing show would be to follow someone’s journey from starting to draw to getting an apprenticeship and finally starting to tattoo and getting clients. Thinking like a monthly or quarterly recap. Thank you for all the work you do!

I’ve enjoyed listening to the evolution of this podcast over the years. The host is an excellent interviewer, and the guests are an interesting cross section of the tattoo world. Enjoyable even for just a tattoo fan like me.
