TATTOO TALES ·

2020/11/15

Tony has been tattooing for over 50 years, longer than many of us have been alive. Just for that he deserves huge respect. A tattoo godfather in Australia, he’s well known in the community worldwide, crossing paths over his long career with institutions of this craft such as Lyle Tuttle, Cliff Raven, George Bone, Lal Hardy, Doc Price, Terry Wrigley and the list goes on and on. Listening to him recollecting the magic of other times with a passion that hasn’t changed a bit in over half century is

17. JASON TYLER GRACE- The answer is within

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/10/19

I have a lot in common with Jason, most of all a restless spirit that brought us both to travel the world for years in search of that ”something” we couldn’t name. Years down the line Jason is a more mature man and artist with a newly found sense of purpose. With this interview I wanted to get you to see what I see in him, that special sensitivity that sets him apart, a sensitivity that finds expression in his art and his words. I feel lucky for having him opening up for us and sharing some

16. MEHAI BAKATY- It’s all about the people

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/09/28

In New York the name Bakaty and Tattooing are two sides of the same coin and the city knows it well. A second generation tattooer, Mehai watched his father Mike, respected and loved legend in the Lower East Side, practicing the craft since he was four years old. At the age of 11 he was making needles for the family business that operated underground throughout the long ban that made tattooing illegal in NY for over 30 years. Surrounded by the most iconic figures in the history of the Bowery,

2020/08/19

When you lose yourself into different cultures of distant countries you re-emerge with a newly found appreciation for the people you met and for all the beautiful nuances that characterize them. A deeper sense of wonder and acceptance. This is the difference between a traveler and a tourist. As a consequence your daily reality takes on a different light, without the need for moving away from it. With 77 countries visited(tattooed in 34 of them and in all 50 states) Chad is one of the most traveled

2020/07/05

Two creative souls that found each other, this is the beautiful story of Virginia and Stephanie. They both gained their reputation through years of hard work and dedication at the highest levels of this profession, shoulder to shoulder with the best. What sets them apart tho is their unique sensitivity, perhaps matured overcoming all the obstacles that life put on their way, and their caring. Caring for their industry; caring for issues that might trouble others, being social, cultural or

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/06/18

Some people keep traditions alive, some people push boundaries, others implement their own vision in within a well understood and processed style. Robert is one of the latter. He absorbed the foundations of American Traditional over a long career, crossing paths with some icons such as Dan Higgs and Scott Harrison, translating that beautiful codified language of symbols into a mirror facing inward. His own spiritual practice reflects in his illustrations with the raw power typical of Outsider art

12. SHAWN BARBER- Life through the eyes of a painter

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/05/25

I remember how I used to look at Shawn’s paintings 10yrs ago, amazed by his masterful use of color, composition and personal interpretation of the subject. A fresh voice in the tattoo world. It’s beautiful to have witnessed his personal artistic trajectory which reflects his own journey of growth and self discovery. Today Shawn is a mature artist with a sensitive look on life, reflected through his brushes, and a strong voice in the art and tattoo community. It’s been an absolute pleasure to pick

11. TERRY MANTON- The history of Scottish Tattooing

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/05/17

Why is important to learn about the past? Studying where we come from allows us to understand where we’re at today, to develop appreciation for what we have and to treat it with respect, going beyond short-sighted personal interests in the eyes of a bigger picture. Today we have Terry Manton, a retired tattooer from Glasgow that took on the mission of organically searching on Scottish tattooing history and its most influential representatives from the end of 19th century onward.

10. SHANE ENHOLM- All you gotta be is real

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/05/07

Tattooer, punk rocker, bank robber, surfer, musician... it’s hard to put Shane in a box. His life could be a movie, a good one, made of passion, defeat, revelations and love. Love for what life is, for the good and for the bad. In his words there is the honest portrait of a man who learned the most precious lessons the hard way and that is never afraid of being real. It’s been a privilege to listen to his stories and peek into his big heart. Find Shane on Instagram Get his record

9. HANNAH WOLF- Knowledge is power

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/04/27

This episode is a bit different from what you’re used to. Dense and informative, it shines a light on a new publication, “The science of tattooing”, and those questions not many of us are really able to answer to. The author Hannah Wolf is an American tattooer with almost two decades of experience who took on the task of answering those questions. Her new book wants to be a tool for professional tattooers to be better equipped when facing the growing presence of the government in this industry

8. YUSHI HORIKICHI- Japanese working longevity

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/04/11

On a beautiful New Zealand summer night in Tapua, with the background of the crickets chirping, I had the pleasure of having a nice chat with Yushi. He’s on a world tour with his beautiful family and for a coincidence(is there such a thing?) we happened to meet at Gordon Toi’s house, sharing insights on his over 20yrs career and Japanese working ethics. ⁣ At the end of the interview I share my 2 cents on how to make the most of this time where we’re globally in lockdown. ⁣ I hope you’re all safe

7. GORDON TOI- The Maori pride of a native

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/02/27

I’ve been really looking forward to this episode. This year I came back to New Zealand and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to interview a tattooer truly representating the local indigenous culture: the Maori. Gordon Toi is the man. Over his quarter of a century long career he fought to give Moko back the dignity it deserves, after seeing an involution due to British colonization. Through the course of this interview I learned about the pride and connection Maori people have with their art forms,

6. DEAN SACRED- New Zealand tattooing and Nicholas Cage

TATTOO TALES ·

2020/02/05

At the other very end of the world, Auckland New Zealand, I’ve met with Dean for an honest, refreshing chat. Dean is one of the finest tattooers this country ever produced and he influenced a whole generation with his incredible Japanese large scale work. His competence and talent are surpassed only by his humbleness, which amplifies his achievements and it’s a trait which sets him apart. I hope you enjoy the experience and the understanding of a man who navigated this business for 25 years at the

An honest talk with a dedicated man who found his purpose over a long career and puts his heart in front of every decision he makes. This is Andreas in a nutshell. Committed, inspired, concerned about giving back to the very trade he dedicated his life to and most of all honest, to himself above everything. I really enjoyed this afternoon spent with him in his house in Aachen, Germany, surrounded by his impressive artworks collection and his never ending projects. Find Andreas on Instagram and

This time I ended up in Manchester to meet up with local legend Rambo, owner of what has become one of the city’s landmarks, the historical RAMBO’S TATTOO PARLOUR. Recorded in the pub he owns next door, this talk was another beautiful journey in the history of British tattooing by one of its most iconic and knowledged characters. Rambo describes his upbringing in days where tattooing was very much different, walking us through his tattoo memorabilia collection(one of the most complete and

For this episode I ended up in Montpellier, France, where I’ve met the colorful American duo Scott Ellis and Omar Edmison.
