Customer Reviews
Real talk. (Important talk)
Guardians is an amazing podcast for anyone, tattooer or not! It’s about the work behind the work, the struggle behind the struggle. The real deal in life. Sometimes we got to go here to get there and this is what it believed this podcast really digs into. Through the ups and downs of life/work relationships, listening to this podcast has brought me insight, new perspectives and help me to dig myself out of my hole.. again.
I personally feel the discussions in some of the podcast leaves you with a bit of accountability also. We all could use a little more of that.
I absolutely recommend giving it a listen. If your looking for a different approach then what you’ve probably already been listening to then here it is. Go HERE so you can go there.
Thanks Matt, Josh, Hip and guest.
….I’m easily forgettable.
I’ve been an artist a long long time,1984, working to support myself then my spouse and then a family. Most famous tattoo artists including Joshua I have met in my travels but I’m easily forgettable. I’m not a tv artist, instagram hit or amazing artist. I just kept my nose down and tattooed in shop after shop for many years. Now I feel after so many tattoos, art projects (published or not, sold or not) and years I have found an almost religious experience in Tattoo Guardians.
I have been blessed by these guys!
My perspective have changed, my attitude have changed, all for positive. My everyday guidance to be not only a better tattoo artist, but a better person as well. Thank you!
