Aaron shares his thoughts on the tattoo process, how his ideas have evolved over time, and what keeps him coming back to the same artist. We dive into what clients really look for in a tattooer, what makes a session feel right, and how the experience as a whole goes far beyond just getting cool artwork. Whether you’re an artist, a collector, or just curious about the culture, this episode gives a real, no-BS look at tattooing from the client’s seat—in the chair.
