046 - I'm Back! ft. Bill Rocha
Thank you for tuning again after an extended hiatus! This episode is somewhat of a "drawing room discussion" that happens often at my shop. I thought it would be fun to record it and make it into an episode after being radio silent for a while.
Lots of room for discussion on this one since we are mostly just spinning our wheels from one topic into another. -

Tattoo artist, Sharky, talks about how travels and adventures have prepared her for almost anything, how that same spirit played into the start of her tattoo career, and about her friendship with Lyle Tuttle.

Customer Reviews
This is the gold standard
Listeners beware: This podcast is the gold standard. It is so clean and thought provoking that it will make all the rest of the tattoo podcasts seem silly and unprofessional. Seriously though, the best guests and the best content all approached with class, and presented in an interesting, respectful manner. Seriously love this one! Thanks Andrew.
Where is toothy
Missing the real episode 24 of toothtaker
Great podcast
This podcast helps feed the addiction to all things tattooing nicely. Ever season has been fantastic.
