Customer Reviews
The best podcast about tattoos
Excellent, with the quality of most of the best podcasts. I’ve tried several tattoo podcasts and this hit it on the head
Enjoyment
I really enjoy listening to you. Please come back!😭
Great tattoo history for enthusiasts!
Firstly, thank you so much to the creator of this podcast for putting together a collection of contemporary and historical tattoo information.
If anyone would like to hear some great stories of the history of an American tattoo icon, listen to the tapes of Lyle Tuttle. It’s amazing to hear him posthumously, spectacular that the interview was recorded.
Rest In Peace Lyle.
