    S2 EP22 - Leigh Tilbrook

    There’s not a lot Leigh Tilbrook hasn’t explored or encountered when it comes to a career spanning 18 years in the industry. From traditional tattooing to his now ultra refined single needle work, Leigh joins me at Debut Studios to discuss his successful Peterborough based shop Electric Workshop, where tattooing has taken him and moments that have defined what life is like for him now. An artist as genuine as they come - this episode was a personal favourite. @leigh_tilbrook @electricworkshoptattoo

    S2 EP21 - Roblake

    Sitting down with Roblake at the studio we delve deep for one of the most captivating conversations on the podcast to date. I wanted to explore more about how the Danish born, Brighton based artist creates their dark and distinctive expressionist style. Having been on an arduous journey through the industry and suffering badly with mental health and OCD we talk persevering through the struggles, managing misjudgments and turning weaknesses into strengths. @roblaketattoo

    S2 EP20 - Ellis Cooper

    After trying to get this in the diary for nearly a year, I finally managed to sit down with Ellis Cooper. With a career spanning nearly a decade, from modelling for FHM and Nuts to tattooing across the world, I can safely say that Ellis is one of the most authentic and gracious people i’ve had the pleasure to meet. I wanted to dig deeper to understand the real journey she’s been on - we discuss overcoming adversity, judgement within the industry and expression through creative mediums. @elliscooper002 @elliscooperofficial

    S2 EP18 - Lal Hardy

    This week it’s an honour to join Lal Hardy, one of British tattooing’s most prolific figures at his world famous North London studio New Wave Tattoo. A man who’s been established in the trade for over 40 years now and helped bring tattooing into the mainstream an hour wasn’t nearly long enough to learn of all the stories this man has to tell. An incredibly thought provoking conversation covering the vast changes the art form has witnessed, paying homage to those who came before and what we might expect to see in the future this was just the tip of the iceberg and a conversation I’ll never forget.  @lalhardy @newwavetattoo

    S2 EP16 - Shaun Wainwright & Sophie Brown

    Last stop on the tour, I sit down with Bridge Street Tattoo owner Shaun Wainwright and blackwork artist and fiancé Sophie Brown. A thought provoking conversation spent understanding the secret to the success of Chester’s largest studio, how Sophie creates her bold floral designs and what life’s like for the pair when the machines are down. It’s not every day you get the opportunity to learn from artists with such experience in the industry; this conversation was a personal favourite. @shaun_bst @sophiebrowntattoo @bridgestreettattoo

    S2 EP15 - Paul Terry

    After first meeting Paul at Liverpool Tattoo Convention 2019, I was keen to catch up and see how life and tattooing has changed for him since then. Based at Bold Street Tattoo, Warrington he’s recognised for his graffiti background, bold style, freehand gap fillers and unique colour palette. I was keen to delve deeper into what motivates the man behind the career, known for his resilience training and pushing beyond his limits. @pau1terry_ @boldstreettattoo
