    10 - Justin Clark AKA Just 10

    Episode 10: Skating, Ink, and Arkansas Heat (with Justin Clark) This week, I’m back in Arkansas, catching up with an old friend and certified legend—Justin Clark. We grew up skating together, shooting guns, and raising hell, and now he’s one of the best tattoo artists I’ve ever seen. Justin owns Pale Horse, a killer tattoo shop in Hot Springs, Arkansas, with our longtime mutual friend Trey Steelman. We talk about skating, art, running a business in a small town, and what it means to keep doing what you love.

We swap stories, share some hot takes, and maybe even ruin a few classic songs for you. Tune in for laughs, deep dives, and possibly some new additions (or subtractions) to your playlist. 🎸😂🎙️ Listen now!
