Rob’s a master of neo-traditional tattoos, but don’t put him in a stylistic box—he’ll bust right out of it (with perfect line weight). We cover everything from bidets and bubonic plague to urethral E. coli (yes, you read that right).

The Tattoo Buds are reunited and it feels... weird!After over a month apart, Jimmy Jam’s back from tour and Sanae’s back from guest spotting in Hawaii—and they’ve brought travel stories, snacks, and sunburns. This week, they’re asking the real questions, like: Why don’t tattooers take photos with their clients anymore? Is it time to bring back the awkward arm-around-the-client shot? The Buds also let AI guess what they look like, and it’s alarmingly accurate for one of them. Speaking of creepy

He and Sanae reunite after a brief separation (no, they’re not mad at each other) to react to the latest so-called "innovations" in tattooing—including people getting full pieces done under general anesthesia.

This week, we spiral into the great beyond with a hot take on aliens: are they just misunderstood? Have Hollywood and the government given them a bad rap? Does Sanae have a reason to be scared ?
