    The Future of Tattoo Tools with Russ Abbott

    The intersection of technology and tattooing has always fascinated me, which is why I was particularly excited to dive into a recent conversation with Russ Abbott about the evolution of Tattoo Smart. From its humble beginnings as a digital marketplace in 2016 to its current position at the forefront of tattoo design innovation, Russ's journey reflects the larger transformation happening in our industry.  What started with simple brush sets and digital palettes has evolved into something far more revolutionary - especially with their latest venture into 3D modeling for tattoo design. But this story isn't just about new tools; it's about how the tattoo industry adapts and grows while staying true to its artistic roots. Thanks for supporting what we do, and we hope you enjoy!

    The Tattoo Collector's Perspective | Jenny Chambers

    Something a little different this time around. We're not talking to another tattoo artist today - we're diving deep with Jenny Chambers, a serious tattoo collector who's got stories that'll make you see this whole world differently. In the current tattoo climate, it's not just about finding an artist who can slap some ink on you - it's about building relationships, understanding the craft, and respecting the process. When Jenny talks about collecting work from legends like Jeff Gogue, Phil Garcia, and Ande Chambers, she's not just name-dropping - she's sharing a journey that most people never get to see. This isn't your typical "hey, I got a tattoo" story. This is about the real hustle, the behind-the-scenes grind that happens before that needle ever touches skin. So buckle up, because we're about to break down tattoo collecting in a way you've never heard before.
