    Ep. 50 | From the Streets to the Shop with Gio Martinez

    This week the For Folks' Sake family is joined by Gio Martinez, the Owner of Violent Delights Tattoo in Tacoma, WA. His designs are known for being bold, custom and beautiful pieces made individually for each person that walks into the shop. Gio’s journey starts with spending time doing some illicit activity and deciding to change his life and become a Ranger. Once he was finished with his time in the Army he dove into the tattoo world and found his passion within the tradition of tattooing.   I am so beyond appreciative of Gio and his time. Its not often that you meet someone as genuine and passionate as him and I feel honored to have this episode in my catalog.
