The Tattoo Budcast will also be featuring guest tattoo artists and the most interesting tattoo clients, listeners will feel like they’re right there in the shop.

    Passion Over Wealth: Firefighter to Tattoo Shop Owner | TATTOO BUDCAST Ep. 69

    The Buds are back with a brand new episode, and this time we’re sitting down with Nestor Zelaya. James first met Nestor when he was still a fireman. You know, back when he had a “real job,” a steady paycheck, benefits… and allegedly more happiness. Now he’s a tattooer. So clearly something went wrong. Nestor walks us through what made him leave the stability of a traditional career to chase the chaos of tattooing. From immigrating to the U.S. as a kid and chasing the “American Dream,” to realizing maybe that dream wasn’t actually his, and deciding to build something of his own. He talks about learning to tattoo, opening his own shop, and redefining success on his terms. Naturally, we then take a completely normal turn into discussing the wildest way to get out of mandatory military service in a certain country. Because that’s how this show works. Nestor opens up about his humble beginnings, the life reminders that keep him grounded, and then closes it out with a Tattoo Cover Up story that will leave your jaw on the floor and almost left him… testicle-less. Yes. You read that correctly. So sit down, press play, and enjoy another episode of the Tattoo Budcast where stability is optional and the stories are unhinged. ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast  Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast  Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/  Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam    Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast  Dreamland Art Co: http://www.instagram.com/dreamlandartco    NESTOR IG: https://www.instagram.com/zelayatattoos  SHOP: http://www.instagram.com/fearcitylb   ----more---- 🔥 BUDCAST EXCLUSIVE 🛒 15% off tattoo supplies 🌍 kingpintattoosupply.com 🏷️ Code TATTOOBUDS15

    Get Jiggy: Tattoo Shop Valentine Chaos Ft. Jared & Iggy

    We’re sitting down with star-crossed lovers and certified Best Bud royalty, Iggy and Jared Starbard aka Jiggy from Bone Deep Tattoo. We reminisce about the “good old days” when tattoo shops were basically adult daycare centers and ask the hard question: why does nobody hang out in shops anymore? Who hurt us? We pitch our ideal Best Bud dates, then immediately rip off The Newlywed Game with our totally original, definitely legal game called Better Buds. Is it competitive? Yes. Does it expose friendships? Also yes. From there we spiral into early viral internet videos and remember just how lawless the early internet used to be. No rules. No HR. Just vibes and permanent consequences. We try to land the plane with something wholesome: “What’s one thing you wish the world knew about your Bud?” It gets sweet. It gets emotional. It almost feels safe. Then Iggy closes the episode with a Tattoo Cover Up story about a reality TV star who walked into their shop and somehow left without her panties. Literally. So grab your Best Bud, hold them close, and enjoy this very romantic, slightly unhinged episode of the Tattoo Budcast. ----more---- GET 15% ALL TATTOO SUPPLIES WWW.KINGPINTATTOOSUPPLY.COM ENTER CODE: TATTOOBUDS15 AT CHECKOUT! ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast  Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast  Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/  Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam  Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast  Dreamland Art Co: http://www.instagram.com/dreamlandartco  ----more---- Guests: Jared Starbard IG: http://www.instagram.com/jaredstarbard  Iggy IG: http://www.instagram.com/iggyink  Shop: http://www.instagram.com/bonedeeptattoos

We talk about how he became one of the funniest tattoo content creators out there, the unexpected path that led him to where he is now, and what it’s really like turning tattoo life into viral comedy. The laughs are nonstop, but things take a turn in the Tattoo Cover Up segment, where Beaverduck shares the wild, life-changing events that shaped his career and pushed him forward. Trust us, you will never guess what it was.

    Tattooer Drinking Game: Bumping Uglies & Smellies, Kidnapped in Mexico | Tattoo Budcast Ep:66 | Comedy Podcast

    The Buds are back, and this one is a classic tattoo family episode. We’ve got Dreamland Art Co coworkers Goonies and Johnny Bones in the studio, and just like Goonies’ first Budcast appearance, things immediately spiral when we decide to play EDWARD 40 Hands. That choice naturally leads to vomit stories, a very necessary intervention about Goonies’ drinking, and a discussion about her Frankenstein car that honestly might need to be put down. We break down our go-to hangover cures, Jimmy Jam relives his glory drinking days with a party trick that absolutely falls flat, and somehow Forrest Whitaker catches a few strays along the way. The Buds also fill you in on a recent shop cutting, where we all quickly realize we would be completely useless if we were ever held hostage. To close it out, Sanae brings a Tattoo Cover Up story that sounds like it came straight out of a movie. Grab a 40oz, strap it to your hands, and laugh with us. ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast  Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast  Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/  Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam    Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast    Dreamland Art Co: http://www.instagram.com/dreamlandartco    Goonies IG: http://www.instagram.com/ohmy_goonies  Johnny Bones IG: http://www.instagram.com/bonesart

    Wayne Fredrickson: Pick Pocketed Abroad, $10 Tattoos & Opening Shops | Tattoo Budcast Ep. 65 | Comedy Tattoo Podcast

    Wayne Fredrickson is back on Tattoo Budcast and somehow… he’s opened ANOTHER tattoo shop. 😂 One of the original tattoo YouTube vlog pioneers (before everyone had ring lights and “day in the life” reels), Wayne pulls up to talk about building shops like a madman, the rise of unorthodox tattoo shop chains shaking up the industry, and the wild world of creating content as a tattooer without losing your sanity. Then things take a turn when Wayne tells the story of getting pickpocketed in England while on a tattoo trip — because apparently international crime is just part of the tattoo lifestyle now. 🇬🇧💸 If you’re into tattoo industry chaos, social media grind talk, and hearing how success sometimes comes with stolen wallets — this episode is a must. ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast  Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast  Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/  Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam  Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast  ----more---- Wayne’s IG: http://www.instagram.com/waynefredrickson Shop IGs: https://www.instagram.com/uniteandwintattoo http://www.instagram.com/norcotattoo http://www.instagram.com/luckydollartattooparlor Tattoo Supply: http://www.uniteandwintattoosupply.com Podcast: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyKGcPYJHJaCrqdyADN4ZOB803KO6Kz3S&si=4UN41eBfzhSf9D3N

    Japan Apprencticeship, Rotary Pens, Hot Ones & Desk Pop ft. Brizzo | Tattoo Budcast Ep.64 | Comedy Podcast

    On today’s episode of the Tattoo Budcast, we’re joined by a very special Bud in the shop. An OG friend from Sanae’s teenage years who also tattoos, straight out of Mesa, tattoo artist Aaron Brizendine, better known as Brizzo. We kick things off by letting AI create opposite-sex versions of the Buds and Brizzo, then asking the most important question possible: would you let yourself hit? From there, things escalate quickly as we test a Hot Ones–style hot sauceinspired by Hot Ones, and James may or may not survive the heat. Brizzo shares stories from his tattoo apprenticeship in Japan, including learning tattoo machine building and how that experience shaped his opinions on rotary pens versus traditional machines. Once again, James may not survive. We finish strong with a wild real-life story involving a desk pop at an old tattoo shop. Yes, a real pewpew accident. Yes, it’s exactly as unhinged as it sounds. This episode is high energy, childish, and 100% on-brand Tattoo Budcast chaos. Put your pewpew back in its holster and laugh with us. ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast  Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast  Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/  Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam  Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast  Dreamland Art Co: http://www.instagram.com/dreamlandartco  ----more---- Guest: Aaron Brizzo IG: http://www.instagram/Brizzo_tattoos

    Tattoo Artist Survives Parasite & Becomes a Tattoo Grandpa | TATTOO BUDCAST Ep. 63 | Podcast

    Marco Gomez pulled up to Tattoo Budcast with THREE things: wisdom, horror stories, and parasites. 🫠   In this episode we talk about Marco’s journey overcoming gut parasites (yeah… we were disgusted too), his approach to mentoring apprentices, and how he officially became a tattoo grandpa—because his apprentice graduated and now has apprentices of his own. That’s generational tattooing, baby.   Then Marco casually drops one of the most terrifying haunted experiences from his childhood and suddenly the whole vibe turns into Paranormal Activity: Tattoo Shop Edition.   If you like tattoo talk with a side of trauma and comedy—this one’s for you. ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast  Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast  Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/  Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam  Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast  ----more---- Marco’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/donjuandemarco1 Shop IG: https://www.instagram.com/warhorsevintagetattoo

    Bryan Kienlen of the BOUNCING SOULS - Punk Rock Tattooing & Touring | TATTOO BUDCAST Ep. 62 | Podcast

    We’ve got a very special episode for you today. Another RoadBuds installment, and this time we’re filming on location at the House of Blues Anaheim. We’re sitting down with a very special bud, Bryan Kienlen. A tattoo legend out of Jersey and a full-on punk rock icon. We get into the early days of touring with The Bouncing Souls, how those tours compare to life on the road now, and how Bryan made the jump into tattooing, shop ownership, and somehow manages to balance it all. And just when you think he might not be human, we go there. Imposter syndrome. Self-doubt. The struggle of pricing your own work and knowing your worth. Kick up your boots, hang with the Buds, and enjoy. 🎙️🖤 ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast  Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast  Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/  Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam  Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast  ----more---- Bryan Kienlen IG: http://www.instagram.com/bryan_kienlen  Shop IG: http://www.instagram.com/anchorsaweightattoo  Shop website: http://www.anchorsaweightattoo.com  Bouncing Souls: http://instagram.com/bouncingsoulsnj  Beach Rats: http://www.instagram.com/beachratsnj
