I’m very new to getting tattooed, and this pod is all I need to learn about the history and all of the greats. Cheers!
As a listener and one of the guests on his show, Stef Bastian is one of those tattooers who is always giving back more than he takes from tattooing. This podcast is like a tomb of wisdom, experience and history all in one. All tattoo apprenticeships should make listening to every episode a mandatory requirement.
Thanks for a cool podcast !
As someone who is sitting in the chair rather than holding the machine I too enjoy listening to Tattoo Tales. Preferably hearing the stories of the older gents and how they were introduced to tattooing. Being from Cincinnati I truly enjoyed the Dana Brunson episode.
