    S3: Ep7: Sharon Parks

    In this month’s episode of the Twin Peaks tattoo podcast, I talk with the incredible Sharon Parks who loves River as much as I do. A fellow Virgo, Sharon and I actually have the exact same birthday (that we also share with Beyonce NBD). You can feel Sharon radiating kindness when you’re around her, it’s just who she is. She talks about living as a Vegan and what it means to her and we discuss River’s art that touched her in the Sony and Simply way. We discuss the Grace Zabriskie/Twin Peaks/MOPI cross over and you’ll be interested to hear what River movie she loves the most -its a fun surprise with a Twin Peaks crossover too! I love a world with so many TP links in it. So let’s see... Sharon is a brilliant, nerdy, vegan, Virgo who loves Twin Peaks AND River Phoenix? Yep, we are soul friends and I’m so lucky to have had this time to chat with her.

    S3: Ep6: Nick Renfro

    In this month's episode of the Twin Peaks Tattoo Podcast, I talk to the awesome Nick Renfro who was born and still lives in Bangor, Maine, home of Stephen King. He works in food service and also provides celeb transportation for local comic conventions. He's a passionate fan of video games, movies, and TV esp Twin Peaks. It’s been a few years since we recorded this episode-sorry about that Nick! So you will hear about a convention that already happened including hopefully a reunion of OG IT kids in Bangor. So cool. We talk about Nick’s amazing tattoos, some of which are just not that precious or planned -they just happened. There’s nothing more Twin Peaks than that. #twinpeaks, #twinpeakstattoo, #oneshottattoosf, #comfortsequels, #thegreatmuppetcaper

    S3: Ep5: Chris Mathews

    In this month’s second episode of the Twin Peaks Tattoo podcast, I interview Chris Mathews, another huge fan of the opening credits infamous bird. I didn’t know Chris before our talk, he reached out to me and shared his history with the show and with the fan community and I was excited to meet him. We recorded our episode several years ago, sorry it took so so so long to post Chris! We discuss his love of the show, his various TP tats including one that I adore that I got to finally see in person at the Real Twin Peaks Day event in 2022. We talk about his love of the opening sequence bird that he lovingly refers to as Flappy and how Flappy has taken off in his life and creative endeavors. From an early age Chris has been driven by creativity and a bold extrovert. Starting with his first on stage lead at age 6, to joining a professional boys choir at 11, to writing and directing his first play as a college senior, he has hungered to try new things. Since 1981, he has dipped his toes into music, stand up comedy, television, and film, not to forget his lifelong love of live theater. But it wasn't until his discovery of Twin Peaks that he decided to get a tattoo. This turned into more and more TP tats! I get it Chris, me too. He also has tat tributes to both his children and a self designed logo of DAMN! (Dramatists and Actors Meeting Now!) a theater group he founded in 1996. Peaks fans may know him for his attendance at every TP Fest held in Washington, or his Twin Peaks Live onstage trilogy or his mockumentary Flappy:Behind The Music in The Air. You can find him Midnight Mystery Theater: midnightmysterytheater.com/ Shipyard rose www.facebook.com/ShipyardRose/

    S3: Ep4: Kim Stace Thomas

    In this months first episode of the Twin Peaks Tattoo Podcast, I speak with the super talented Kim Stace Thomas. We recorded this ep several years ago, sorry it took so long Kim! We talked WHILE I was getting Waldo tattooed on me. Its pretty incredible how she can talk and tat at the same time. I recorded on my phone and its a noisy shop, but I did my best to soften the background noise. You will however hear her gentle needles vibrating into my skin. She doesn’t have a TP tat but who knows, maybe I can convince her someday! Kim is a Chicago native whose artistic interests grew from the stacks of back issue comic books. Pulling inspiration from peers, art history, and the zeitgeist of our current culture, she strives to blend the wants of her clients with her aesthetics to create a piece of art that they’ll love. She often tattoos flora and fauna, from small detailed on-shot tats, to larger pieces, she invites projects of any size. She loves tattooing nature themes - birds, bugs, plants, animals, mushrooms, etc. she also loves gamer, sci-fi and cartoon tattoos. You want Yoda riding Appa flying out of a hobbit door framed out by florals? She’s your gal. She tattoos in Redwood City CA at Hidden Haus Tattoo by appointment only and can be found on instagram @kthomato
