The Apprenticeship Diaries: Recent Episodes
theapprenticeshipdiaries
A Podcast about beginnings: How the tattoo artists (and professionals) we revere, got their start; What it took, what it takes, and the stories that are made!
Your Host missed another week. Last week, I had wanted to fill you all in, but circumstances being what they were, has led to a Diary Entry, a week later, explaining a bit of what "had happened".
Love you Listeners and super grateful for your time. God bless you always!

If it's between listening to this podcast or taking a moment to reflect, collect and heal... Choose the latter. I've been forced to take a moment.
Hopefully this will communicate gratitude, humility and merit, of the past few weeks. As always, praise God! Lot's of things... All good to some degree. Whether good or bad, it's all a gift.
Love you Listeners and super grateful for your time. God bless you!

This is a personal Entry. It's a bit of a ramble so be forewarned. I just wanted to share some updates and give glory to God. It's pretty positive, overall, so my hopes are that you will feel uplifted while listening. If not, just turn it off and listen to better people than me. :)
Love you Listeners and super grateful for your time. God bless you!

It was a common theme, throughout this entire time between Swasthik Iyengar and me, that it's very hard to keep things simple. Simplicity often gets misappropriated with ease or easy, but this couldn't be further from the truth
Hat's off to Swazzy however, for she's managed the task of changing continents, within her journey, thus far. In many ways, life could have been simpler, but then agein, this wouldn't have yielded such a beautiful story and human.
Swazzy is a resident artist of Good Luck NYC. She likes to pull from her culture and faith in her artwork. Lately, she's been gearing up for her first gallery showing in LA at the Devout Gallery. It's June 21nd. Mark you calendar!
Despite being in a major flow-state, painting, making, meditating... Swazzi gave quite a bit of time to this show. This is the conclusion of our 3 part Entry, with this beautiful talent.
Thank you Swazzi and thank you Listeners. God bless you all!

We are back with our 2nd piece of this 3 part, Diary Entry with Swasthik Iyengar, of Good Luck NYC. She's a fantastic artist who's gearing up for her first gallery showing in LA at the Devout Gallery. It's June 21nd.
Despite being in a major flow-state, painting, making, meditating... Swazzi gave quite a bit of time to this show by sharing how she combines her practice in tattooing with her faith.
This is the continuation of a fantastic time, meeting this beautiful talent.
Thank you Swazzi and thank you Listeners. God bless you all!

Wow... What an amazing time meeting this awesome person, talent, and tattoo artist! This is the first part of our time with Swasthik Iyengar of Good Luck Tattoo in NYC. She's here, sharing her culture and at the same time, loving our culture here in the states. Our recording marked her 1st year anniversary. Welcome Swazzi!
She's lived in multiple countries and really is a rich human in terms of experience (and all the other ways that really matter)... So much in so little time, it's really wonderful to witness.
God bless you Swazzi! This show is so grateful for so much of what you gave us. Moreover, the US is really lucky to have you here... makes perfect sense that your home studio right now is Good Luck Tattoo.
As always, thank you Listeners. Come back next week because there's definitely more with Swazzi!

To catch Swasthik's showcase in LA, block your calendar for June 21st at the Devout Gallery.

I think my mic might be going... That's one more prayer I need answer to... Why my audio has this terrible sound in the background? Is it the mic or the cord? Guess I'll get a new cord and see... Please God... Let it be the cord!
This week is just a call for prayer. Your host is stressed and needing some spiritual cheerleading.
Thank you Listeners... God bless us all as we traverse this crazy, non-stop, existence. Let's keep our chins up. He is risen...He is risen indeed!

We are back with the rest of the wonderful time, we spent with Erika Lalita of Sylph Art Studios. In this next half, we learn more about being a chalk artist; Except, now that the all the wonder of this job has been revealed, we must talk about the realities.
This next part is about self care, being realistic, and what sort of things Erika manages when she's not pursuing passion.
There's always a toll to pay on the road to one's dream. Some of us discover that it's just a dream and look into something else, while some of us make dreams into chalk art for all to see.
Thank you for sharing and giving so much time to this show Erika. Thank you for pursuing your passion and making the world a more beautiful, fun and joyous, place.
As always, God bless everyone!

Well, we certainly can talk! It's probably because Ken Madden and I don't see each other often, that we are bursting by the time we finally get together? I pray we don't wait so long next time.
However, in this 3 part Diary Entry, there was a reoccurring theme of God and the gifts we are given to express God's love in this life. Ken, like me, recognizes this tremendous calling and in this 3 part series, we really look at how Ken has worked through his walk with God, all while sharing his gifts of drawing, design, gab, etc...
This is a wonderful last bit... Please join us and as always, God bless you all for your efforts given to this podcast. We are humbled and grateful.

Alright folks... We're set for this week and next, with the wonderful Ken Madden of MaddK Studios.
Ken got excited when I started to share my walk with God and wanted to show me and all of you, how God works and speaks, in his life.
It was so nice catching up with this distant, friend who I just keep learning more and more from. Please continue to listen as Ken an I talk about all the different ways God works and moves in our lives, our art and what's in the works for the future.
Thank you always Ken and God bless all of us in our pursuit of passion.

Our good friend, Ken Madden, is back and beyond catching up with me personally, he shares his personal story of accepting Christ.
This podcast goes in and and out of many conversations, as we often do, but Ken has a great relationship/story in regards to his walk with Christ... Check it out Listeners! Come back next week too... As there is more to come.
God bless you all!

This is Part 2 of our Diary Entry with, "Therealnoshoes" (or Scott). He's an audio producer and has quite the following on YouTube (ever growing). Definitely check him out! He's sincere and makes a point of giving authentic "reactions".
In this 2nd piece, we talk about learning practices as well as discover how Scott adopted that "forever" smile; It's not always kept him out of trouble, but it does allow him to deliver hard information, when he needs to.
No hard information in this Entry... We love him and it was a pleasure to host Noshoes, with this 2 part Diary Entry.

Thank you Scott, Diary Listeners and praise God for this wonderful connection!

This week, we have an 'interview' with Scott, AKA "Noshoes", who had to workshop his name a bit to work with the internet, making him "Therealnoshoes". He's an audio producer and is making his name known via 'reaction' videos. Definitely check him out! He's sincere and meets his viewers with a smile.
God put Scott in front of this show and it felt wrong to let the opportunity go by without gathering a Diary Entry from him. He's extremely prolific and very passionate.
This is a 2 Part Diary Entry, so we hope Listeners circle back next week for Part 2... In the meantime, click here to be routed to all things "Noshoes".
Thank you Scott, Diary Listeners and praise God for this wonderful connection!

Early today (12:20am), this Diary Entry was recorded. It's been a full week and full day. This is just another personal share, but within the week and upon declaring more personal entries, there's been many beautiful people who've offered to record and share their stories. It's like God telling me that this show must be more than just a relationship between me and him... It must expand and continue to gather.
What glorious things to look forward to ahead! We'll have some new stories and some stories continued. Either way, the show goes on and the gratitude is endless.
Thank you Diary Listeners and God bless us all!

Lot's to share in this week's Entry. I changed a few more things and grow more and more, excited to keep "playing" with this show/podcast/diary. I'm having fun exploring.
Much happened, so I'll let you all listen.

There were several themes this week as I'll let you discover for yourself. We're sticking to the title being the date, but some growth has happened in pre-show preparation. Praise God!
Drink more water Listeners and remember:
"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you."

Happy MLK Jr Day and Inauguration Day!...
I'm rushed to production today. This Diary Entry was not as streamline as it was last week. Of course, "God laughs when man plans".
So, this week's Entry is rather all over the place. I call for prayers to be made and announce prayers answered. I also give some drama advice (both in cinema and within interpersonal relationships).
Please, do me a favor and subscribe to our friend Gunnar Gaylord's new YouTube Channel! (Reflective Journeyman) His first video is up and I'd love for you all to go listen for 13 min and give him some love. Gunnar has been on the show and is a wonderful man to know. I feel certain you'll only stand to gain from the information he shares.

This is something a bit new. I'm (Amy) amazed how long I was able to speak and how much more I could have concerning the happenings this week.
This is my first attempt to chronicle how God moves and speaks, in my life. I'm leaning into this being both a Diary and a work dedicated to the glory of God.
This was pure and mostly freeform. As I admit, it's not concise, but if nothing else, I pray it will be entertaining. Above all, I want to share my life as a perspective and my walk with God as an invitation to others to explore with me.
Worse case, I'm in the world and not of the world... Which might lose me worldly favor, but save my soul. I pray it's enough.
God bless all Diary Listeners. Your time and attention is an honor to me.
Have a powerful week!

In this year of our Lord 2025, your host changes the "look" of the show and shares more about what's planned ahead. Mostly, things are being put in focus and one determination is clear... All to the glory of God.
As always, there is endless gratitude and love for all our Diary Listeners. We pray for many more years of Entries ahead.

Thank you for coming back and checking out this second piece of our talk with Nicole DeRoy of Ascension Tattoo in Sedona, AZ.
We talk about the "street-shop" vibe and what gifts it yields to a newer artist. Nicole is also, one of the only artists in Sedona that integrates energy work with the tattoo service. She does "ceremonial" tattoos and shares some of the benefits of this kind of tattoo experience.
Then... We get a quick visit from Rico who eats soup with us and shares a bit of his experience.
Thank you for this time and attention. Things are moving and changing. We know that much is going on but what we want each of you to know of our wants: We hope we all rise together.
God Bless and Enjoy the last few days of 2024!
Here are some quick links to follow all things "Nicole":

Nicole is back! This is another check-in with the wonderful, Nicole DeRoy (now resident artist at Ascension Tattoo).
We've lived more life, learned more things; We're officially a Condo Crew! Post Paradise, we just wanted to sit down and talk about the latest happenings.
This is a perfect, chill, reflective, show that we hope, helps keep folks moving towards personal betterment and healing... As well as reminding us that the greatest joy can only be had in the "present".
Hope everyone had a great Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa! Ours was overwhelming, but a pure blessing. Praise God!
Thank you always, Listeners!

This is historic!... This Diary Entry is less than 15 mins long. This is an "Amy" record and hopefully, the mark of a fresh new year.
Have a powerful week Diary Listeners! God bless you all.

Part 2 was so much fun with Allie Oxenblood, the Treehouse Tattooer. We finally talk about her apprenticeship. Yay!!! It is wild and the source of so much laughter, despite the very real and scary situations. As determined within this show, life can either cause tears or laughter... Either way, we gotta get through.
Allie... Thank you so much! This was a wonderful time and you were so gracious and gave such great advice at the end. Bless you and let's do this again.
God bless you all!

This is Part 1 of our 2 Part Diary Entry with Allie Oxenblood, the Treehouse Tattooer. I think Allie does a great job introducing herself in her IG bio: "Tattooin, Tale-tellin, pot-stirring, liberty loving, dissident mountain mama. Ceremonial treehouse tattooing in Appalachia, WV."
In this piece, we talk all things God and explore some of Allie's time tattooing. In truth, this was off-script from the start and in order to get to Allie's apprenticeship days, we might have to meet again.
Hopefully, this podcast went rogue in the best ways. Your host certainly enjoyed herself.
Allie... Thank you to the moon and back! This was a wonderful time and you were so gracious to play along. Bless you and let's do this again for sure.
Listeners, come back next week as we're not done talking to Allie.
God bless you all.

In this last third of his Diary Entry, we talk about wisdom with Kevin Kline of Tattoo Icons (Perryville, MD); How important wisdom is and all the different ways to acquire wisdom (the funny and stupid ways). Kevin shares what his hopes are for the next 5 years and shouts out some epic influences he's had already; Influences that give him hope and inspiration for the future.
Overall, this show is honored to know such a sweet human as Kevin. It's obvious that he cares deeply about the work and those he practices with.
Thank you so much Kevin! This was an amazing time. Thank your cat too. As much as we recommend life out of the closet, we can appreciate the moments where we just gotta hide.
Praise God for all the blessings. We are honored by the time of each guest and every Listener.

Welcome back to our time with Kevin Kline of Tattoo Icons, in Perryville, MD. In this second piece, we talk early days getting tattooed, healthcare, imposter syndrome and inspiration.
Thank you all for coming back to this "good conversation" with Kevin. We hope this is the first of many Diary Entries with this new talent.
May we all rise together and keep doing the reps to make us better. I love you Listeners and have eternal gratitude. Thank you Kevin for all this time. It was so nice to finally chat with you and learn more about you.
Come back for the conclusion, with Kevin, next week.
Bless you all!

Part 1 of this 3 part Diary Entry is called "A Wise Choice" because Kevin Kline made a wise choice to get fully into tattooing again, before he came on the podcast. He knew the ups and downs of his time, trying to get into tattooing and he wanted to put a good foot forward before he talked too much. Now, as a member of the Tattoo Icons crew, he can start sharing with us and we can shout out his story.
More, it's November 5th, General Election Day and we all should be out to make solid choices today.
Thank you so much for this time Kevin. God bless you and all who listen in.

This wasn't an assessment of the Paradise Tattoo Gathering. It was a personal assessment of how I felt after I went to this gathering and the specific ways that I really stretched beyond my limits.
At the end, as tired as I am, I'm so grateful and have nothing but great moments to recall.
This life is a blessing and so are each and every Listener of the show! Thank you to all who made Paradise amazing (you know who you are). God bless you all... as well as the pets!

This is Part 2 and the last portion of our time with Lewis Bunn or "Lewie" . Lewis is an Englishman, living in Australia and he's been working his body to the bone to give his kids and wife, a better life. In this second half of his show, we hear about the really cool family Lewie has; They are all wicked talented!
Lewis was in construction but wanted to pursue a better life for his family. By giving into his heart, moving across the world and seeking a life as a tattoo artist, Lewis is really a great example to all those out there who are struggling to tattoo as a career. He has three kids, a wife, and the regulations of Australia, to balance, along with his passion for art. He's really showing how much a man can do if he simply is willing to hustle.
Pardon the conversational style of this podcast, but Lewis has been a friend to this show since 2019; We kinda just caught up, in this show. We hope it's fun for everyone to listen to.
Lewis Bunn works at Sageleaf Gallery of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Make sure to keep your eye out on him as he hopes to make it to the States in the future.
Thank you Lewie and thank you Listeners. God bless!

Lewis Bunn or "Lewie" , has been apart of this podcast, on the back channels, since the beginning. In the background of this podcast's growth, Lewis was trying to get into tattooing. He's an Englishman, living in Australia and he's been working his body to the bone to give his kids and wife, a better life.
Lewis had a trade but wanted to pursue a passion in the arts. Tattooing is this for many out there and since 2019, Lewis has been keeping in touch with this podcast; Trying to make friends and get into a field that isn't easy... Especially with a family to support.
Pardon the conversational style of this podcast, but I am just so excited to finally have Lewis on the show. We don't talk often so this was, in many ways, a personal catch-up that is shared with all of you.
Introducing Lewis Bunn of Sageleaf Gallery of the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Thank you Lewis and thank you Diary Listeners. God bless!

I had a movie day with family today (hence my late podcast release) and this is one of two movies that I've seen lately. For a person who typically doesn't find too much reason to go to the movies, I'm rather struck by the saturation of movie-going; I'll give my take on one of the movies that I've already seen as well as let you all in on why I went (today) to see the other one. Now I feel like I need a whole other podcast recording, just for my movie reviews.
I chat about post-marital-bliss and announce (terribly) the line up of what's ahead as far as interviews. Sorry Lewis (if you listen, you'll know why I apologize)!
God bless you Listeners! I'm so blessed in each of you. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and just hope this personal Diary Entry, can be enough to consider (perhaps inspire), for this week. That's all I ask.

Alright... We're back with the second half of our time with the lovely PMU artist, Jordan Kiser, of Magic Mirror Tattoo and Piercings ( in Millersville, MD). In this next part, Jordan shares some specific success stories and how deeply in-love with permanent makeup, she is.
This time was all a wonderful blessing and Jordan was gracious enough to forgive me, when I stood her up (with my birthday celebrations) and had to reschedule. I'm so glad she's determined and forgiving, as we really got a great 2 part Diary Entry, from her and her family.
Bless you Jordan and as always, thank you Diary Listeners!

Jordan Kiser is a wonderful PMU (Permanent Makeup) artist at Magic Mirror Tattoos and Piercing, in Millersville, MD. She was awarded "Best PMU tattoo artist of 2022" and keeps aiming up. This is only Part 1 of our time with Jordan... We had a storm naturally, split our time up. I do believe it was divine.
What you'll see in this 1st piece, is that Jordan has been quite encouraged to tattoo; She'd have to have been pushed to leave a dream job where she got to swim with dogs for a living.
Thank you Jordan! Bless you for not giving up on this show when we stood you up the first time (complete mistake). We are so grateful to meet you and get to shout out your experience to this point. We're also so happy to have met some of your family.
God bless you Jordan and all our Diary Listeners!

I'm already so critical of so much but the most important thing to note about this episode is that Rico and I are getting married this upcoming Sunday.
I just wanted to share all that I've been thinking and feeling with you listeners, as Rico and I get closer and closer, to the big day.
Next week, I'll no longer be Amy Nicholls but Amy Illiano. It'll probably be the only way anyone would ever confuse me with being Italian.
God bless you Listeners. Your love and support of this podcast has meant the world to both of us. We are so very grateful for all of you.

This week is the wrap up with Wheelyum Dee, of The Wilted Rose, located in Chattanooga, TN.
This whole time has been a divine blessing. "If not for" a hacker who almost hacked your host (using Wheelyum's identity) this podcast wouldn't have happened. It's crazy how we come together in this life and what's more, it's not over.
We look forward to having more moments with you Wheelyum. This was a great podcast series (Diary Entry). Let's do this again. In the meantime, you rock your cotton candy and we'll try to keep providing a good show... We already have some of the best Listeners.
God bless you all!

Welp, we pick right up where we left off last week with Wheelyum Dee. We learn more, not only about Wheelyum's journey into tattooing, but also his approach to a lot in life. Mostly, we can see a lot of faith in God; A lot of humility, as Wheelyum has had a lot of trials in his life.
We know that you still struggle with a lot Wheelyum, but you're not alone. You got friends and fellow souls who understand the struggle. Keep smiling and you keep planting those seeds. Your heart is showing and what it shows is a lot of genuine care.
God bless you Wheelyum and Diary Listeners. Without you, this show wouldn't exist and life wouldn't be half as fun.
To work with Wheelyum, you'll be looking for The Wilted Rose in Chattanooga, TN.

How divine an intervention that brought Wheelyum Dee into the forefront of this podcast's world? Even more divine, we are able to wish Wheelyum's daughter, Ashley, a "Happy Heavenly Birthday" today, as this first part launches on her birthday. Wheelyum honors her passing, each year by giving away a Disney tattoo.
God is good in so many ways. Please make sure to block "@wheellyyum.dee" on IG (Wheelyum was hacked) and follow the real Wheelyum, over on Facebook. He's working in Chattanooga, TN at The Wilted Rose.
Thank you so much for your time Wheelyum! Praise God for this intervention!
God bless you Listeners!

Mary Minahan is back! She's more broadly known as Miss Vampira and when this show first met Mary, she was a wee apprentice who moved from coast to coast, to pursue her passion to be a tattoo artist.
Her first 2 part, Diary Entries (Ep. 90 & 91), were the perfect illustration of where Mary was... Trying her heart out but with bad audio engineering (the fault of this podcast host... Sorry Mary!) and a starter tattoo studio, only so much could happen within.
Now... Mary is at her dream studio with Grit N Glory and Megan Massacre (kinda a big deal). We are touching base with this fresh start. This is super exciting and such a good episode if you're a new artist, struggling to know if you should "earn it" (because someone insinuated you hadn't) or just "go for it" (because you know what you want)?...
We're so happy that Mary went for her dreams and didn't bench her potential for someone else's comfort. God bless you Mary and as always, we thank each Listener of this podcast.
You can also find Miss Vampira working in upstate NY, at Woodstock Tattoo Studio. If you'd like a bit more of a slower pace and less city vibes, Mary's got you covered here too.
Super exciting!!!!!!! Life is so amazing! Thank you Mary. You're an inspiration my friend. Big hugs!!!!!

We pick right back up where we left off last week, with Jake Meeks of the Fireside Tattoo Network. You'll have to listen in to see what else we discuss, but I promise that you will stay entertained. Jake always has so much to offer.
Thank you so very much Jake! We are honored by you and your time; Thank you for your continued efforts to inform and educate yourself, as well as the next generation of artist. You're a great guy!

Super stoked to get Jake Meeks of the Fireside Tattoo Network, on the podcast. This is a story that really hasn't been aired much as on Jake's podcast, he really tries to take the focus off himself and give the floor to his guests.
In this first part, we'll learn how Jake found himself in both art and tattooing. We'll understand the relevance of good driving and how much it played a role in Jake's early days, cutting his teeth, in the tattoo world.
Thank you so very much Jake! We are honored by you and your time. Thank you for this 2 part Diary Entry and your continued efforts to inform and educate yourself, as well as the next generation of artist. You're a good dude!

In this second half, Gunnar Gaylord offers a powerful message about personal accountability. He expands on where he's at in his journey now and gives more beautiful insights. He's also a great pet sitter.
Gunnar is such a great human and incredible talent. He's been tattooing for 27 years and is going to be presenting his seminar "27" at this year's Paradise Tattoo Convention.
Do yourself a favor and look into the APT (Alliance of Professional Tattooistis) by clicking here. Do so, even if you're not a tattoo artist; As a tattoo collector, it would be wise to know what regulations and requirements your artist has on them (what your state requires).
Legislation is going to hit tattooing whether we like it or not, so the Alliance aims to keep it in the hands of tattoo practitioners (which is a great mission as far as this podcast is concerned).
Thank you Gunnar and thank you Listeners!

Gunnar Gaylord is such a beautiful person and incredible talent. He's been tattooing for 27 years and is going to be presenting his seminar "27" at this year's Paradise Tattoo Convention.
Listen in and fall in love with Gunnar, as he talks about his early days and his love for tattooing. Moreover, do Gunnar the pleasure of looking into the APT (Alliance of Professional Tattooistis) by clicking here.
Legislation is going to hit tattooing whether we like it or not, so the Alliance aims to keep it in the hands of tattoo practitioners.
This is a 2 part Diary Entry, so be sure to come back next week and hear the full deep dive. (In truth, Gunnar and I could have talked for days. Such a good person and so much knowledge).
Thank you Gunnar and thank you Listeners!

This Entry confronts an inevitability of life... Death.
There have been a few big deaths for the tattoo industry, along with your host personally and these recent events have spawned this week's reflection; How to confront death and what is so incredible when we seek to serve others.

At the end of this Entry, there's some exciting news that involves tattoo education and the foundation of a legacy. Please listen to learn and make sure to catch tomorrow's Fireside podcast (hosted by Jake Meeks). Moreover, go ahead and follow Tattoo Career Builders as you'll want to be on the ground floor of what Derek Youngberg is constructing.

I'm coming out and elaborating in this week's Diary Entry. There's a few confessions and attempts to outline my concepts of things.
This is a further submission to this podcast expressing a want to be as transparent as I can be with Listeners; A willingness to be seen.
Check it out and remember: If you're not having a good time listening, no one is holding you hostage. If it hurts you, know that I want everyone to do what feels best with the precious time we have. I love you all regardless if you agree with me.
God Bless and great week Listeners!

This is a personal entry that really celebrates the return to health and well-being.
As most who listen know, your host was suffering burnout and then, as if it could be bet on, fell ill last week. We don't know what this mysterious plague was but it leveled your host enough that all work had to cease for the most part and no show could be recorded.
Now, there is a renewal of self and a want to rebrand (cause we can never stop!).
Listen in to hear the almost 100%, well, voice of @anichollstattoos and what's ahead for this show.

Kyle Devaney's (Kyle Ghost) is a very tenacious human who keeps high aims for himself and we (I) think it's best if all who listen to this podcast, know the expectations. If you want to work with Kyle at his new studio (Ghost Gallery Tattoo Company) , expect a serious place that will push you. Especially expect as much if you're wanting an apprenticeship from Kyle. As you'll hear, even those closest to Kyle, don't get off lightly.
Thank you so much for this time Kyle. You're a Dad and now a shop owner; I know how hard free time is to come by and I'm so very grateful for this donation to the show.
Thank you always Listeners. Your time in participating in this podcast is always a gift. Bless you and have a powerful week!

I only kid because I love you man! Had to do an Aussie spin-off with the name of this first piece of Kyle Devaney's (Kyle Ghost) Diary Entry.
Kyle has been in the business for 7 years and pretty much had to frog-hop to one situation to another, in order to be the artist he is today (very talented btw!); He's landed in his own studio (Ghost Gallery Tattoo Company) and I thought this would be a great time to reflect on all that's been learned.
Thank you so much for this time Kyle. You're a Dad and now a shop owner; I know how hard free time is to come by and I'm so very grateful.
Thank you always Listeners. Your time in participating in this podcast is always a gift. Bless you!

A few days late and perhaps a dollar short? Not sure of much right now as I ( your host ) have been super swamped and am completely late with this Diary Entry.
This is just a check in and a chance to share some cool audio I got of a storm in Oklahoma. Moreover, I kinda announce that I'm getting married? It is an announcement but because I tell it as I do, I really can't account for how unofficial it comes off. LOL!
Happy late Cinco de Mayo and officially, Happy 38th birthday to my man, Rico Illiano. Make sure to follow his rifle page below as a birthday gift. You can find the link below. Also, buy blueberry bushes... Listen to see why!
As always, much love for all the Diary Listener's out there. Thank you for being a reason to get out of bed, along with my hungry cats.

I had a blast on my roadtrip and wanted to share some of the highlights of my time in Oklahoma City with Gold Fang Gallery as well as my time in Tulsa with Karma Body Modifications.
It was a wonderful guest visit at both studios but so much more happened along the way.
If you're in an industry that can travel, do it! It's very good for both the soul and progressing as a professional (networking). It can be done on a budget and in terms of vacations, I find it's best to combine work and play.
As much as there's much to get back to, now that I'm home, I didn't have to stop life so much that I'm out lots of money and catching up with a life that I would have had to put on pause; All continued and on top of that, I got quality time with my Dad.
God bless you Diary Listeners and biggest thanks to all the souls that made the time in Oklahoma, special. Praise God for this amazing life!

Legos!!!! At first I thought that JD Brosius (of Rapture Tattoo Emporium in PA) said, "Let go!"... but no... He said, "Legos". In truth, whether I heard one or the other, the bliss one gets is the same if Legos are bought or if one just decides to "Let go". LOL! Listen in and see what JD does with this wonderful medium.
JD is someone that your host is going to make some more time for because, like your host, he and his wife (Chandra), are professional nerds who love to do art nights and share those times with the internet. We must become legion!
This is just Part 2 of JD's Diary Entry...

Thank you so very much JD (and Chandra for letting me steal him away for a bit).

I really loved this time with JD Brosius of Rapture Tattoo Emporium (PA). Every time I record with someone, I learn so much about all the people that surround me and how very vast they are; I also lament how limited I I am in that I don't have infinite time here, on Earth, to play with them.
JD is someone that your host is going to make some more time for because, like your host, he and his wife, are professional nerds who love to do art nights and share those times with the internet. We must become legion!
This is just Part 1... Be sure to come back for Part 2 next week.

Thank you so very much JD (and Chandra for letting me steal him away for myself for a bit).

This is when we really start seeing Josh's passion ignite. He truly dedicates himself to tattooing in this next half. It takes a lot to know when to make the next move, as we'll learn by the end of this last Diary Entry; For now. :)
Thank you so very much Josh and all the beautiful humans over at Rapture Tattoo Emporium.
Love you Listeners! Thanks for added grace today.

"Aimless" is the view of Josh Hoffman (his word), but the truth is that he just really cared; Cared so much that he didn't want to ruin something he loved very much (art).
Josh is now a professional artist who pursues his craft through tattooing, over at Rapture Tattoo Emporium (Mechanicsburg, PA).
Sometimes, caring too much causes paralysis. It's important to know that there will be failure, but as long as we genuinely give a shit, it's going to be alright; We also have people around us who care and will help shepherd us in our journey.
Thank you Josh! So glad you didn't bench yourself in retail and that you're the type of guy who really cares. You have so much more to express, not only because Part 2 is next week, but because we pray you have a whole life of art making ahead.

Bridges are collapsing and your host is feeling the feels. Something that wasn't mentioned within this Entry was that I've been trying my hand at some decorative sewing and within trying to do this embroidered, bathroom sign, I kept messing up on the word "Hope".
It's been a week (to say the least) for your host and this is truly a venting session. The "hope" is that it has bigger impact than this moment in time, but, at the very least, something was said, made, posted and released... So there's that!
Love you Listeners and God bless you in all that you do. You got this!

Not only are you going to get the "skinny" on Cabrini today (A fabulous film produced by Angel Studios) but also getting to hear a bit of my terrible singing voice as I attempt a bit of a Alanis Morrissette, classic. I'm dealing with the beautiful buds physically, as my allergies are raging. It's a little Diary Entry, that hopefully will have you go see a great film and take some Claritin.
Happy Spring Diary Listeners!

There's a wonderful parable in this Diary Entry, about boundaries and it really helped influence me a lot. My hope is that it will give each of you Listeners, food for thought as you soak up the wisdom of the wonderful, Gabe Ripley of Tattoo Now. (In connection with Reinventing the Tattoo and Fireside Tattoo).
Have a beautiful week Listeners and to all who read these show notes, I wanted to tell you about the best movie I've ever seen (Cabrini . You might not have to pay to see it as Angel Studios has a Pay-it-Forward program). Go... watch it! It WILL give renewed hope.
Thank you so much Gabe. You are one of the good ones my friend! You are an inspiration as well. :)

I'm so thrilled to bring the man behind so much, to our Listeners: Gabe Ripley of Tattooed Now and truly, an icon in the tattoo industry.
Gabe is behind a lot of the growth that has happened in the world of tattooing, over the last few decades. His work, behind the scenes, in the tech world, has meant worlds to us artists. Tattoo Now is a leading forum that when I was a wee apprentice, was where we all went to grow as tattoo professionals.
With the help of Gabe, many artists have risen to baller status over the years. No matter what anyone can say about him, one thing is for sure... He cannot be removed from the history of the industry as we all know it.
Gabe, my friend... Thank you sir! You always make me smile and I'm so bless in your friendship. I thank God for having met you, but no matter the force that brought us into each other's lives, there's gratitude and mad respect!
Thank you Listeners and have a powerful week!

This is a personal entry where I, Amy Nicholls, talk about my time with GRAB firearms, Guntry, handguns, tattoo licenses, different states, barriers to entry... It's thick and circuitous, but it all wraps up in a nice way so that we all know by the end that permission doesn't really have much to do with proficiency.

Since, in the beginning of Bailey Jene Moran's life, she took the stable job route and worked at a bank, this two part, Diary Entry, is teaming with banking references. ;) It's also so illustrative of all the risks someone has to take to cash-in on investments.
We can't wait to watch this budding talent as she navigates her apprenticeship years; See what kind of "returns" she'll get for pursuing her passion? ;) Frankly, we have full confidence in her.
Like her parents, we see greatness in Bailey. Make sure to follow her as she grows!
Thank you Bailey! Thank you to your family, loving husband for always being a support system (She does need all of you and it does matter that she has you all). This show is honored to have met you in Paradise.

Wow!!! Our 200th Diary Entry! Such a cool thing and it was so great to mark this moment with our time recording Bailey Jene Moran of Karma Body Modifications, in Tulsa, OK.
Bailey is just starting her journey into tattooing, but because she struck us as someone who knows how to invest well, in the beginning, we decided to have her on the show.
Thank you so much Bailey (Rick too, as her mentor). You're already making moves that will pay in dividends, later.
God bless you Listeners!

What an amazing story of hope. Just goes to show you that in life, it's worth risking big if the reward amounts to the kind of success that Jess and Kevin Farrand, have found.
Make sure to watch this power couple as it seems like they are paving the way for lots of big things ahead. Also, they are guest-spotting in Hawaii and this show wishes them the safest of travels.
Thank you so much Jess and Kevin. We'll have to stay in touch and the hope is to interview more of the souls over at Mesmer.
Here's to the rewards of the future! Just love it!
Find Jess and Kevin in Rochester, NY at Mesmer Tattoo with their growing crew. Make sure to follow them and all surrounding. These two know how to grow. For the website, click here.
God bless you Listeners and endless gratitude!

This was an instant joy as both Jess and Kevin Farrand, come with bright smiles and so much hope for wonderful things in this world.
This is a couple who have "risked" much to pursue all passions. It's a powerful story and so far, it's produced glorious happenings.
Our hope is that this gives Listeners a boldness of spirit; We can only ask outside of ourselves so much until we just have to risk high and obey the inner truth.
Thank you for this gift Jess and Kevin. You both give me sooooooo much hope and I look forward to keeping in touch as we all grow and risk, in the future ahead.

It's so odd to say that Nick Baxter, of all people, has earned his place with me as an icon. He was epic when I started my apprenticeship. He was deserving of much praise then, but at that time, I couldn't find the energy to care. I noted the obvious: That he's an incredible artist with a perpetual youthful look. However, it took another 15 years for me to watch this incredible artist and finally, get to the point of a bit of anxiety in interviewing him.
Nick Baxter of (Art Realm Tattoo and Art Gallery in Austin, Tx) has always been worthy of respect. When he commits, he does so with his whole being.
Thank you Nick. It was such a huge deal to me (truly). This show is honored to host your Apprenticeship Diary Entry.
As always, bless you and thank you, Diary Listeners!

Happy 2024 Diary Listeners!!!
This Entry is exactly what the title asserts: I talk about what I'm resolving to do at the start of this year (as cliche as it is).
Please help keep me accountable and I will be praying for us all as we usher in another year. I'll be grateful for each moment I get, here, on Earth, in this life. As always, I'm grateful for all of you who take the time to listen and share with me and this podcast.
God bless you all! Looking forward to rising with all of you.

This is titled as a question because it's hard to say what any individual's experience would be, but in the case of Byron Brooks, it seems that no matter the "falseness of the confidence", he always manages to succeed.
Thank you Byron! Listeners: If in Raleigh, NC, go to Goodnight's Comedy Club and catch Byron, as well as many other amazing comedians.
Wishing you all a safe, fun, joyous, New Year's Eve and a powerful 2024!

In order to title this podcast, an article was referenced on Goldcomedy.com, entitled: "How Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can make you a better comedian", by Dagmara Citron. (Just a bit of light reading, in case you'd like to learn more.)
You see, the focus of this week's podcast is Byron Brooks; A BJJ instructor at Ground Control Owings Mills and a stand-up comedian.
It was an honor to finally talk more with Byron and learn more about his beginnings in both BJJ and stand-up. He's a very talented guy as he also is a graphic designer.
This show is so grateful for the guests, the listeners and all that's transpired in 2023. Merry Christmas Listeners! 2024 is going to be amazing.
If you have nothing to do for New Year's Eve, check out Byron at Charlie's Goodnights Comedy Club in Raleigh, NC.

We hope that as you tune in to listen to this 2nd piece of Lita Edwards Diary Entry, that you'll go, follow and check out her work at Boobs and Tattoos.
This podcast go reprimanded the last time we dared to show the wonderful work of this artist who really likes to help people reclaim a sense of beauty through tattooing boobs, nipple restoration and scar cover-ups. Social Media doesn't seem mature enough for this content. We ask that you seek it out yourself as you listen to this champion of an artist, who gives back what she's been given.
If you want to work with Lita, you can click here and go to her website to start the process. If you want to work with Dawn (Lita's wife) we ask that you follow her IG page and reach out via the website as well.
Thank you Lita! Looking forward to times ahead with you. This won't be the last time we talk and connect.
As always, thank you Diary Listeners!

What a fantastic lady! Yet another gem of a human that Rico and I, had the pleasure to meet at the Paradise Tattoo Gathering:
Lita Edwards of Metamorphosis Ink in FL and lead to Boobs and Tattoos, is this week's star; As well as next weeks!
We highlight many things in this time but the biggest thing that I saw about Lita is how much of a courageous human she is. In all incidents, she rose to the challenge and did so with quite a bit of humility. Bravo to her and many thanks. She blesses this show with her story as it's unique in so many ways.
Also, we'd like to wish all our Jewish listeners, a very happy Hanukkah! Tonight is the first night and we hope the holiday is amazing for all of you.
To all Listeners... Thank you! God Bless!

What a fun human to have met. I really got into this conversation with Killian Moon (Located in Atlanta, Georgia and works out of "The Magic Eye").
Killian is a mover and shaker. I appreciated this very fun exchange we had. Hopefully, as much as it wasn't an "interview" as much as it was a solid back and forth (we shared a lot of ideas), I hope that it shows Killian well and yields some great nuggets of wisdom for you Listeners.
Thank you so much Killian! You're to be admired my friend.
God bless you Listeners and we hope that the Holiday season treats you well. Pace yourselves and know that we love ya!

One of my favorite beers is Killian's Red and that's one of the fun facts I shared with Killian Moon, when I met him at Paradise Tattoo Gathering.
Right away, I was caught by Killian's personality (He's like a human cat <3). I loved him instantly and later, realized that he does gorgeous tattoos of almost every kind (another thing I really admire as he does all styles well).
His seminar was on how to work with and photograph, all skin tones, but the man is multi-talented and a true pleasure to experience. We know you'll enjoy this 2 part Entry.
Happy Thanksgiving Diary Listeners and Killian... Thank you so much. We are grateful.

This is a wonderful second half with Nicole DeRoy, as in this part of her Diary Entry, we get the sense that she's taking the power back and finding her rhythm in the tattoo world.
Listen in to hear the origins of this phrase "Sponge ya lata," and what this symbolizes for Nicole in her tattoo journey.
Remember, you can find Nicole working in RI at Acme Ink Tattoo. You can also follow her spiritual work by clicking here.
Thank you so very much Nicole. So honored to meet you early in your life as a tattoo artist. Your passion is evident and with a drive like you have, we don't see anything being out of reach for you.

After Paradise Tattoo Gathering, it was clear that this show needed to gather the apprenticeship journey's of both "Nicoles" that Rico and I got to stay with at Jiminy Peak, MA.
This week, we hear from Nicole DeRoy of Acme Ink Tattoo, in RI. She's had a very fettered start as her apprenticeship started in 2020. Beyond Covid, Nicole found many hurdles in her learning journey that we break down in this first part.
Listen in and hear another wild 2020, origin story; It certainly required stamina and grace.
Thank you Nicole! We know that you're on your way lady. ;)

In this second part, of Nicole Williams' Diary Entry, we hear nothing but gratitude. She admits that this is all so much better then she had imagined and how glorious her mentor Scott, has been. Scott owns and operates Trident Tattoo Company in PA.
Nicole is so humble and super voracious for knowledge. She is just getting started and already has gotten tattooed and put before legends in this industry. What's more, she does the task of taking inventory so that she never forgets why she's where she is.
We are so happy to know Nicole and we know this will be the first of many podcasts ahead. More than likely, Nicole will be on much more prestigious shows than this raw podcast. We will pray that is the case as she is so talented and a very good example as to how to move in this industry.
God bless you Nicole, Scott, your family and as always, our Listeners!

Deepest gratitude to Casey Hart, owner and operator of Fox wood Tattoo Collective, located in Eldersburg, MD.
In this last part, we hear about some of how Casey has integrated her her education in holistic healing with her tattooing practice. It's really cool, to put it mildly. ( I want (your host) to experience it, to be frank!)
I can't tell you all the gratitude I have for Casey and this 3 part podcast submission (Diary Entry Series). Casey really inspired me and I feel assured that the energy of this time will continue to ripple outwards to all who listen.
Thank you so much Casey Hart and God bless all!

Welcome back to this second part with Casey Hart. In this second piece, Casey continues to share space with this show and yield more and more insights with our Listeners.
As we sat in Casey's studio (Fox wood Tattoo Collective) , in these comfy chairs, we talked about a lot of discomfort and the necessity to embrace discomfort when the aim is to transform.
This entire, three-part-podcast, is littered with inspiration. Casey has invoked so much in her life and what's more is that she continues to welcome more; It shows immense perseverance and adds credence to her message. It's clear that with her current choices, there's room to keep inviting life in. A lot of times, with such immense change, there's a tendency to invite too much in. Casey is showing her sincere knowledge of boundaries. Only what will serve will be entertained... The rest will be gracefully, let go.
Thank you Casey and God bless!

So much was going on in the life of Casey Hart, over the past few years, we just had to catch up and get the scoop.
Our last time with Casey, she was in Covid-land with the rest of us. She also worked along with her mentor (in his studio) and had just taken on her first apprentice.
NOW... Casey, in just a few years, has opened her own studio (Fox wood Tattoo Collective) and her apprentice has graduated to fellow tattoo artist and partner in all things business. Not only that, but Casey has transformed her body, mind, view... the list goes on.
I can't tell you all the gratitude I have for Casey and this 3 part podcast submission. Casey really inspired me (your host) and I feel assured that she'll inspire you Listeners, as well.
Thank you and God bless you all!

Again, we got that same audio challenge this week, but we're confident that John Simmonds is worth struggling through. He's truly a wealth of knowledge. Thank you Listeners, for your patience with this podcast's audio engineering deficiencies.
In this second part, we learn more about the spiritual connection that John has to all that he does. He's so amazingly articulate and we know that this time illustrates what an astounding human he is in all ways.
John's company is Eden Health Md and you can read about and contact John here.
God bless you John and also all our avid Listeners.

X : TheApprenticeshipDiaries~We were suspended from Twitter but now that it's "X" we decided to delete the past and move forward; Trusting that the information is out about what happened (so the story stays straight). Let it be known that this wasn't a confession of guilt; Rather a movement made where none was happening. Twitter was a past life... We move forward on X.

So excited to introduce my friend and acupuncturist, John Simmonds. John is smart with his health and well-being, so he doesn't fetter his life with social media; Instead, you can find John and all the brilliant services he offers, on his website that you can view here.
The title of this show was inspired by the journey of the Koi as John has this Japanese legend tattooed to him; 1/2 of this "koi journey" was tattooed on John's left side, by your host (Amy C Nicholls).
Koi, Yin Yang, holistic medicine as well as some amazing entertainment recommendations, are found in just this first part of John's Diary Entry. We do hope you'll come back next week for the second half, but as always, we want to thank you for your listening time today.
God Bless you Listeners as well as you John!

Okay, so the one thing that I think is discovered for sure is that I, Amy Nicholls, will not be recording from the car anymore. There's been an issue with how the audio is saved/formatted and converting it to be edited/produced, so please enjoy this last time, Amy decides to record in her car.
Beyond this preface, you will have to cross the "table" to find out why this podcast is named as it is.
It's wonderful discovering with all of you Listeners. Sending love and light to all of you as we remember 9/11.
God Bless!

I'm pressed for time as 7pm is my new deadline, so I'll be brief:
This was an odd week, but you'll experience a sense of that in today's Entry.
Happy Belated Labor Day! The hope is that everyone had a very good holiday and with this podcast release, the prayer is for everyone to have a blessed week. Love you Listeners!

Just as in "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", the "answers" that are revealed in this week's Diary Entry, might not live up to the hype of "Ultimate"; This is quite fine and we do hope that there is much life to live and many more questions to ask/answer.
God bless you Listeners!

Rico says "probably definitely", too much to not note; It felt right as a title for this week's Entry.
In this Entry, I (Amy) shout out a lot of people. My hope is that they all will get a "follow" or some interest, from those who tune in.
Sending love to all my fellow August babies as I'm about to turn 42 on the 24th of this month. As you'll learn, it's "prime time" and I'm probably, definitely, moving on that.
Love you Listeners!

Just checking in this week Listeners. I've been a hot mess lately and it's mostly because my routine (if ever there was one) has utterly, been shattered. Listen in if you need your "Amy" fix. I have some insights that might interest you as well as some beautiful sound bites from the chicken farm.
As always, this show has endless gratitude for your time and attention.

We go from "Juggling" to "Dropping Balls" and it took 2 solid, very long, fettered, weeks, to know what to pick up again.
Listen in to see what these last 2 weeks have been about and what they have to yield for us all.
Thank you always Listeners. Have a very blessed week!

"Just" sharing some feels and insights as I (Amy) keep walking this fettered landscape of "hurled opinions"; Trying desperately, to manage (juggle) all that I feel important, as I attempt to gracefully, walk with God.

This should have been all about Mike Fisher Dubois, but in typical "Amy" fashion, I talked too much about myself.
If you're reading this, just go over and follow Mike in all ways you can: The Tattooed Mind Podcast, look at Mike's work place, West Loop Tattoo Collective and follow Mike any where you find him.
If you're interested in getting some beautiful black and gray work done by Mike, be sure to email him at duboisarts.tattoos@gmail.com
Thank you sooooooo much for your grace with me Mike and as always, you beautiful, Diary Listeners.

As June comes to an end, I've (Amy) been feeling many things. I'll not belabor this by telling too much here, but within this show, there is an analysis of the concept of "Pride" and how, as I try to deepen my relationship with God, I'm changing in the way I see, live, work, etc... It's been wild and I hope you enjoy this Entry.

First, we hope that everyone had a very happy weekend and a fantastic Father's Day. Poor father's, they rarely get the kind of observance that they are due. Admittedly, this Entry doesn't mention fathers or Father's Day at all, so we hope grace will be given as this show is no better... Sorry to all Dads!
Late as this Entry may be, it's full of the reflections of this past week. "Making Time" was the chosen title but so many could have easily took its place. Listen in to get your weekly dose of Amy and see why you're already on the right path if you make time.
No matter what, this show is grateful for all it gets. Praise God!

Can't save time nor go back in time. If that were possible, this podcast/Diary Entry would have been available to listen to Monday at 9am (That, by the way, is the standard aim for each week's podcast release). Instead, this coming at you a day late.
Listen in to hear my (Amy's) confession and to hear how this relates to A.I. at all.
Thank you to our listeners and thanks always to a gracious God.

This isn't the cleanest recording folks, but it's rather similar to finding a groove with how to funnel clients and how to bring someone into the mystical realm of tattooing; How to navigate the initial conversation so that everyone feels assured.
We hope that everyone had a great Memorial Day, however you celebrate. Hopefully this Entry will prime the week ahead and lend some tips to try out. As always, thank you so much for listening to the show.

As you are in tattooing, you'll find that you're unable to avoid the connections that are made under the needle. In this week's episode, we meet back up with a long-time client and friend, Nicole Stecca ,as she talks about her most recent tattoo acquisition.
"Just take a breath" and "Fuck Cancer"... two stark messages from a lady who is not only a Chemo Nurse, but having to see Cancer as a patient as well. A dual episode for the student and the teacher in all of us.
Thank you so much Nicole. I know that you think you have no other option, other than to be brave, but there are those that give up and you are not doing that. I love you and am overwhelmed by your strength.
As always, we give eternal gratitude to our Listeners.

Post Mother's Day has, with the start of May, brought many things into my awareness. Listen as I share what things I've experienced already; Commune in a place that is either foreign (so fraught with perspective) or a space where the thoughts and feelings are all too familiar.
It's all love and as imperfect as I am, the one thing I want to make certain anyone can say of me, after this life has ended, is, "She always tried."
Thank you eternally for your time and attention.

This was a fun exploration.
In this Diary Entry, we submit a Black Box episode and meet "Red Rebel", who shall remain annonomous until such time as he's able to hangout in the open. For now, Amy has an unattached chat for all to hear. This is much like the many tattoo sessions that are intimate and range in discussion. Amy is trying out a possible show "regular", all while opening up what's hers to not only Red Rebel, but all of those who come each week to listen in.
Thank you always for your time and care in listening. Forever grateful. Red Rebel... Thank you!

Coming off a hard week that was made less hard with perspective and the grace of God. I'm just sharing my week and some of the gorgeous humans that I got to spend it with. Many trials got in the way of the pursuit of "Happiness", but by week's end, it was realized that the trials are all perfectly placed so as to maximize "Happiness." Your host is grateful and ends this week with a wide smile.
Thank you always, Diary Listeners... you're part of the grace that brings joy!
People mentioned in this Entry that we are assured will appreciate your love, prayers, good vibes, hopes, etc...

It's a rare opportunity to meet someone who has been shackled and carted away to an emergency, mental health facility. In this last episode, we learn that both our host and Anthony Red'd', have had their experiences with mental breakdowns. (Amy likes to call them awakenings however.)
The world is a torturous place for those of us unwilling to trade our souls or make concessions when it comes to cultivating a life. Listen in to hear about how Anthony rose from his low and why he cares to keep rising.
This was such a tremendous gift Anthony. Your art is really good and we are so glad that you kept pushing, even when so many discouraged your dreams (even this host in 2002 :P.)
Thank you!

Like most "Part 2's," in any series, this part connects the beginning and the end while continuing the plot; Like most journeys, there will be hard times and much to reflect on.
Amy tends to dominate this episode with Anthony as they relive the past (pardon Anthony). Listen in to hear about why it's all worth the time and care.
As always, thank you Listeners!

This is a great way to move into spring and new beginnings; As sad as the reason was for Anthony Redd and Amy to reconnect, it's wonderful that this can offer the opportunity to share and shout out the amazing talent that Anthony has been honing for quite some time.
This 3 part Entry, explores a very raw talent that has gotten very refined (and not by taking the roads that most traveled by).
Hear about how Amy knows Anthony and how wonderful life can be if we try to take the perspective of being a perpetual student, always looking at pitfalls as a way to grow.
Thank you so much Anthony. This was so wonderful and we know that it will benefit everyone greatly.

This personal Entry is about how your host is entering this time of year and how she feels about it.

It's simply been too long since we got to hear from this beautiful and talented woman. Moreover, we recorded this Diary Entry in January of last year (2022). At the time of this recording, Carol LeBaron (our good friend and master textile artist), had just lost her mother.
In this 2 part podcast with Carol, we get the very intimate, insights, surrounding the death of a parent. Our hopes are that with Carol's story, we can move forward into the spring (in the short term) and better celebrate our parents with Mother's Day and Father's Day; In the long term, our hopes are that this podcast will help inform a beautiful attitude when in the face of the inevitable.
Thank you sweet Carol. We can't love you enough.

So cool that we got to start this journey with John Greaney on his birthday and now, on the eve of Valentine's Day, we get to wrap with love.
John, you're a very cool guy and the love this show has for you is immense. It doesn't matter the mode of experience, you are consistently awesome despite the distance and the need for Zoom.
Follow John wherever you can and if in Edinburgh, Scotland, check out Relatively Painless Tattoo for your tattoo and piercing needs... We can vouch for the owner. ;)

Happy Birthday John Greaney (Sounds like Grainy)!!! John owns and operates Relatively Painless Tattoo in the UK (Scotland). Listen to discover all the 'names' and learn more about our good friend John.
Amy has never met John in real life, but even via the computer and all the crap we have to navigate in this tech world, Amy and John were able to make a connection and become friends. It's amazing what happens when we risk, take a chance and lead with love.
Thank you John and enjoy all that you've created my friend. The world is better because of you and this podcast is honored to celebrate you with this Diary Entry (1:3).

As we start 2023, we will be moving ahead without Chuck Nunn as our audio guy; We're all moving on and up. It's time to ask these baby birds to fly the nest to new, thrilling, higher, feats. As Chuck would say and did say, "find what you can't not."... and then go after that.
Thank you so much Chuck! You're a forever friend and I'm eternally grateful for all that you've given me. Jen's really amazing too and both Rico and I are blessed by your friendship.

Well, there was a lot of things that we could have called Part 2 with Chuck Nunn, but overall, this episode really explores nuance and specifics to the job of either Performance, Learning, DJing or Tattooing, that may or may not, be so evident.
Chuck shares all that led him to being a DJ and we hear together, how Chuck came to working on The Apprenticeship Diaries. Lots of respect goes to Chuck in this episode as he discusses the hard knocks to getting to where he is today.
Again, endless thanks to our Nunn Chuck. Just like the bassist in a band, we really need him. Love you Chuck!

What better way to start the New Year than to FINALLY spotlight the man behind the podcast, trying ever so much to make this tech-ignorant band of podcast-newbs, sound good... Chuck Nunn?!!!
In this, we'll hear about Chuck's beginnings and how he found himself working and loving, the life of a wedding DJ. This is a really cool chat as Amy tries to draw as many parallels to the world of tattooing to that of a DJ. No matter what Amy's able to comprehend, the point is that Chuck is the kind of guy who follows his passions; He doesn't make excuses as to why he can't, rather, he seeks to walk into the unknown and help his friends along the way.
We loved starting 2023 out with you Chuck (and Jen too). Thank you!

Did you ever want a list of, as we dubbed it Christmas Day, the "Rushmore" of tattoo artists to follow? Never fear because Jason Leeser's coming in clutch with his top inspirations. We feel bad cause we had to cut him off at some point (it was pushing 3 am by the end of this recording).
In this episode, you'll see that you are in fact, the sum of who you're around; Jason has made a point of not only being inspired by many artists, but putting himself in alignment with them; Either by traveling, where he ultimately met so many amazing people or by getting tattooed with the hope to gleam some insight and start a relationship. What you'll learn in this last episode is that your idols might be far more "touchable" than you might imagine.
What you'll really see is that Jason is a great guy who not only hustles his heart out but is willing to go any distance to make sure that not only is his body covered in elite tattoo work, but that he gets to meet and experience the epic talent of the tattoo community.
Thank you SO much Jason! You made the world a smaller place for us and gave us hope that all things are in reach. Such a great way to end 2022.
The List in no specific order:
Guy Aitchison, Clint Danroth, Steve Moore, Fibs, Whole Tex Family over at Deadly Tattoos, Chris Dunn, Shane Ford, Rich Wren, Bill Canales, Dave Tevenal, Ian over at Yellow Rose Tattoo and finally, all of Reinventing the Tattoo.
Make sure to follow the studio's associated with all of these brilliant artists; You'll find even more talent to gush over.

So happy to introduce Jason Lesser to our Diary Listeners. We took the time to come together, amongst a very full schedule, at this past, North East Meet Up, put on by Needle Jig.
This interview went on into the wee hours and this is only the first part. Many cool thoughts and experiences are exchanged.
Thank you so much Jason. You've always been a friend and we're sorry if we every made you feel otherwise. We loved this time and we will have to come visit you in Philly; Pop by The Ink Well for some hugs and laughs. Or, maybe do one of those huge painting collaboratons we talked about.

In this next part, we hear about what it's like to be "essential" for Nathan Rearden (a current nursing assistant and aspiring tattoo artist), specifically during the Covid pandemic.
We also hear about when and where we can hope to see Nathan next. If you happen to be near the KY area and have an interest in comic books, you might want to pay attention to this next episode so that you can not only invest in a passion for graphic story, but also go meet Nathan and the wonderful team of tattoo artists that he'll be exhibiting with: Check out Lexington Comic and Toy Convention...Should be a blast!
Thank you Nathan; Not only for your time on this show, but for the many ways you've served... This could not be more perfect as this podcast comes post Veteran's Day and right before Thanksgiving. We are very grateful for you.

This was a cool interview and we know that it will be one of many as Nathan Rearden keeps moving towards his passion to be in the tattoo industry.
Coming out of work experience involving naval, military, service on a vessel (which you'll hear more about in the interview), to learning electrical work, to his current job as a certified nursing assistant, Nathan has gathered an array of perspectives. He's still looking to serve people, but he knows that an investment in his art will be key to both his happiness and the kind of aid he's able to give the world.
Learn how Amy met Nathan and celebrate this new talent by cheering him on. If you're local to KY, go to Comic and Toy Con and you can meet Nathan as he will be exhibiting with tattoo artist friends, selling prints of his art.

In Part 1, Amy introduced "Bella" and we learned about Bella's "apprenticeship" with her mentor "Victoria".
When we broke off last week, we were at the place where Bella was really starting to understand that she was in a bad situation with a studio that wasn't interested in helping her climb in her budding, career.
Tune in to see what happens next and thank you Listeners for coming back for Part 2.

Very excited to announce this new segment of the podcast!
This is the "Black Box Series": Stories that need telling but are not about highlighting the "Who" of the podcast, rather concentrating on the "What", "When", "Where" and "Why's"; Leaving the specific players, anonymous.
The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Moving ahead, this podcast would like to offer this kind of anonymity to those who's stories are heavy, abusive and otherwise, uncomfortable.
We hope this offers more room for those who have stories to tell, but worry about the backlash, to come forward and share. Sometimes, this is the best way to heal and to help, not only you Listeners, but the storytellers themselves.
Thank you Bella. You mean a lot to this podcast and we are honored by your courage and your story.

Paulina Romain was an instant friend (current friend too). She sounds to be a person, along with her family, that really strives for the best and all the while, keeps it lighthearted.
As someone who grew up in a small business family, I know that Paulina has all that is takes to see the kind of legacy she wants to cultivate, happen; Great attitude and support from many angles.
We hope our listeners will go to Paulina's new IG page for her own, tattoo studio "The Art of Ink Studio" and give it a follow. There's no posts currently, but this is a chance to really watch a place grow as it starts. This new studio is looking to blend the kind of service found in most hair salons and spas, with tattooing. I picture warmth and light, flowing everywhere. :)
Thank you so much Paulina. This podcast is excited for all the things ahead.

Super excited to introduce Paulina Romain to our listeners. She's had a very interesting journey into the world of tattooing. As Amy talked to her, she learned many things that are not only specific to Paulina, but also more about laws in other states; There seems to be unique challenges faced by PMU artists when wanting to get more into the tattoo artistry.
This is only part one Dairy Listeners. There's 2 parts to this one interview and by the end of the this airing, Paulina will probably be open to business at her own tattoo shop, "The Art of Ink Studio".
Make sure to follow Paulina in all ways as this is a multi-talented woman.
Her Hair Salon: Mill Pond Salon
Her current Tattoo Studio: Wing Nut Tattoo

In Part 2 we hear more from Halo and Darren Monnity, of Black Lotus Tattoo Studio (located in Hanover, MD). Darren has been apprenticing for quite some time now. Going on a year if not over that mark now.
Be sure to keep your eyes on Darren by following him on IG and also TikTok . Keep an eye on Halo and Black Lotus as I'm sure all will be excited to get Darren busy tattooing, when the time comes. This will be such a talent when tattooing starts (We're confident), so get in on the magic in the making and maybe you can help this artist by donating skin to the story.

Amy wanted this interview for a while and just like setting up a time to actually go and meet with Halo and Darren Monnity, this podcast airing had to be pushed.
We extend our sincerest apologies to the fresh blood, Darren Monnity, over at Black Lotus Tattoo Studio (here in MD). Darren is the apprentice of Halo (a friend of the podcast and Season 4 Ink Master). This is just Part 1 and as this is all pre-recorded from earlier in the year, we know that this story just keeps unfolding, even past Part 2 (the conclusion next week).
Thanks to both of you for your time and patience with us. :) It's a grace we, very much so, appreciate.

So this is the Resurrection phase... As Sabrina is in her tattoo apprenticeship now, I'm sure this is more the phase she finds herself in today, rather than at the end or this podcast series.
Like a Phoenix, there will be many deaths within the life cycle of a creative. Sabrina Mati exemplified this journey completely and we hope to see all the many places she flies to in her future.
For now, you can find Sabrina at Famous Tattoo in Ventura, CA.
We are beyond grateful to know you Sabrina. Thank you for your time and love.

The ash is honestly the stage that both this podcast and Sabrina Mati met in. The ash stage is the stage where we aren't what we were or what we want to be. It's a call to reflect and to accept. In truth, this whole interview/conversation was really "The Ash" phase, but over all... We had to pay homage to the legend of the Phoenix as it's such a great symbol and so tattoo-centric.
You can find Sabrina working at Famous Tattoo in Ventura, CA. She's their apprentice and a damn good one (if we get to say anything about it).

As introduced, this 3 part interview with Sabrina Mati, really is most like the life cycle of a phoenix.
Sabrina is a new apprentice in the tattoo world, but a vetted art professional as she's spent most of her adult life as an animator; Even working on the hit "Rick and Morty".
Amy met Sabrina on a FaceBook Forum for apprentices and from the moment Amy saw this talent, she knew she had to meet her. (What she was able to teach herself was amazing to say the least.) Sabrina is already such a force, but as far as what she's going to be in tattooing... The sky is the limit for this Phoenix.
Sabrina has since been apprenticing and working at Famous Tattoo in Ventura. Please follow this studio and this talent to really be a part of the legend; We did.
Thank you so very much for all of this time Sabrina. Our podcast is honored by you!

This is our 3rd and final piece to Amy's talk with the artist and surgical technician, Tony Albanese. As you'll hear, Tony's journey has been very unique. Time will tell all things but as it stands now, Tony has many accolades that your hosts don't. We hope he's proud of his own path and all the amazing artwork that's already in his portfolio.
You have our endless thanks Tony... for your service to this country, to the surgical room and for your passion to keep making regardless of the medium (a common default is a surgical drape). We are honored and will enjoy watching all that's ahead for you.

In this second bite, Tony Albanese has a lot of questions for Amy about her experience in learning to tattoo. It's nice because we all know how difficult it is for Amy to listen :P (she's working on it always).
It's still such a mind-blow that tattooing gets so much attention in mainstream culture now; We can thank social media for that, coupled with curiosity and a natural, human, connection to art/creating.
Tony is already an artist and we believe, still looking at tattooing to see if it's the right path for himself. This comes with wisdom as many tattoo tales are told by younger players who leaped into tattooing without really looking. It's clear Tony is looking and paying close attention. Solid play if you ask us!
Wow... Long time coming for this one. (Apologies Listeners.) Tony (Anthony) Albanese is a surgical technician (Not a nurse) and an aspiring tattoo artist.
Tony wanted to meet us and be on the show as he really had a lot of questions himself. Amy was happy to oblige as we all know that she loveds to talk about her experience as well (:P).
Tony is an incredible talent no matter what he ends up applying it to. Thank you for your patience with us.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week as we release the 3rd and final part, to our time with Garrett Rautio (owner and operator) of Black Coffin Tattoo (and Piercing) . Garrett's goal is legacy. He runs a stable of amazing talent and is father/mentor to Ivy Rautio. (One of the tattoo artists at Garrett's studio.)
In this episode, Rico joins us and the convo goes many fun places as it often does when Rico comes in. :) Just so our listeners aren't deprived of the information, Garrett had mentioned "Mr. FlashMachine" right when Rico came in, and we never circled back to this inspiration. We hope to make up for that by mentioning him and calling attention to the talent.
Thank you again and again, and one more time for measure, Garrett. We will look you up when we go back to MN and do some ice fishing. We've always wanted to do that.

Hope everyone, including Garrett Rautio (owner and operator) of Black Coffin Tattoo (and Piercing) , had a fantastic Father's Day! Garrett is, not only a father but a mentor to his daughter, Ivy Rautio. (Ivy is a force already as a tattoo artist. Make sure to check her out too.)
When we meet a man like Garrett, visions of our youth spring up as both your hosts grew up in small business families. Our parents wanted to build something for us and show that we could do anything in this world, if we put our hearts and minds to it.
Garrett is an amazing man and as you'll discover in this 3 part interview, he's still going and dreaming big. Now that he's built his shop, he's looking to help other's build theirs.
Thank you so very much Garrett. We appreciate all your time and attention to our podcast; We are grateful for you.

Getting back to St. Paul, MN with this interview; We are happy to spotlight, this week, Garrett Rautio (owner and operator) of Black Coffin Tattoo (and Piercing). His studio was established in 2015 but Garrett has been tattooing for over 2 decades.
Amy met with Garrett first (both in real life and in this interview) and Rico joined in later. It was clear, from the start, that Garrett has much to offer the world of tattooing. He's a man that clearly cares and gives a lot of himself to this craft. From running a studio, to F.A.R.T meetings, to building legacy, to finding time to meet with us, Garrett is a pretty amazing guy (no matter how humble he is).
This is a 3 part interview and we know that it'll be fun and informative, through and through. Thank you so very much Garrett. We appreciate all your time and attention to our podcast.

We are all pursuing love in our own ways but one thing that Adam Rothstein knows about the game of life is that ya don't sacrifice your Queen for a Pawn; Or, in less Chess-like terms, you don't sacrifice forever for the moment.
Whether it's a net at the end of an ice rink or financial freedom, Adam Rothstein stays focused and in the game. He's done so much more than your average guy in his late 20's; He authored two podcasts (The Blue Oasis and The Goalie Kid), has written books, does voice acting and is on his way to being debt free... Not something a lot of people can say for themselves, even if they've had more time to do it.
Thank you Adam. We know we kept you talking longer than you ever do. It was very appreciated. We also want to thank you for the extensive work you've put out on YouTube; You will help so many with what you've done already.
Also, Happy Memorial Day Listeners! Don't forget those who sacrificed the ultimate to have all that we have today.

Adam Rothstein is one of the many awesome human's that Amy has met on the Nomad Network (a Jason Stapleton community of entrepreneurs).
Adam is many things really. Mostly, he's guy, willing to do the work and learn whatever he has to in order to make his way in this world; A perfect person to chat with on this podcast where we like learning about the "path".
Adam produces several podcasts: The Blue Oasis (FB page here) is a hobby podcast and Goalie Kid is a fiction podcast. Goalie Kid is a story written by Adam, chronicling a young man who loves hockey and who's finding his way as an entrepreneur.
In this 2 part podcast, you'll get some great tips and tricks as well as a heavy dose of sport related allusions.
To find Adam's audiobook on Chess click here. If you're in the market for a daily journal, click here. Go give Adam some love.
Thank you Adam. I know I talked you out. Adam is very open about being on the spectrum and I know that this 2 part podcast really flexed all his social muscles. What a sport! ;)

Last weekend was Mother's Day and we've been holding on to our talk with Logan Liebetrau for just, such an occasion.
Amy couldn't see beyond her week of work, so ideally, this would have been out the Monday after Mother's Day; In a perfect world, things would happen as we want, the way we want, when we want, but that's just not how it turns out (most of the time).
Logan's journey to becoming a mother was much like the release of this podcast: Delayed, filled will obstacles, but over all, epic and yielding.
In these days of hearing all kinds of talk about women, personal autonomy and controversies over family planning, we thought this conversation would be refreshing and offer another perspective.
It's never easy to be a mom, but rarely is it so challenging to become one. Listen to hear what it was like for Logan to get her dream.
Hosts: Amy Nicholls & Rico Illiano (Rico knows Logan a bit from Club House, but mostly, he let the ladies take this one.)

Remember: The only difference between you and your mentors is time and how much you want to get the fuck out of your own way!
Pardon the lateness of this "hot take". We try our best, but at times, things get busy...
NOW... Apologies out of the way:
In this episode, Amy talks about her displeasure at hearing about Minnesota's want to pilot a "learn to tattoo in prison" program.
Amy met with one of the correction's commissioners and had a good, passionate, talk, about all the flaws of this very expensive, hit to the tax payer (as well as the tattoo industry).
Now, we would have loved to have shared Amy's actual meeting with Nan Larson ( Commissioner with the Corrections department), but Nan didn't approve of an "on-the-record" meeting, even though Amy found out about this program via mainstream media; Isn't always funny how the powers-that-be, paint the picture they want you to see?
Hopefully this podcast episode creates a discussion and gives added dimension to the fluff piece done here: https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2022/04/13/tattoo-supervisor-job-posting-minnesota-corrections-department-inmates-rehabilitation/
I would post the link to the job description, listed in this online article, labeled "posted the job late last week"... but it would seem that when that link is pressed on now, no job comes up as it did prior. Another funny happening since my conversation with Nan.
However, if you feel intensely about this as I do and have more to add to this conversation, you know you can always email us or Nan herself at : nanette.larson@state.mn.us
There's also her staff: kristine.flores@state.mn.us (Kristine) or their HR representative: katie.wynn@state.mn.us
I gotta say, it really makes me happy to influence this way. I hope all can hear this episode and understand this issue more.

In this second installment, Carol LeBaron and Amy, get a little more on the metaphysical. Carol explains where her inspirations come from and both her and Amy get really nerdy about art.
As part 1 was released, we had some great feedback: A violinist said that she approaches her craft/art the same way, as well as similar mindsets when teaching. It was neat to hear that other artists connect, despite the form of art, medium, etc.
These diary entries are meant to inspire and get the creative juices flowing. Carol LeBaron is so full of wisdom and more; She's open to forever learning as she moves throughout life. Please make a point of following this talent anywhere you can find her. Her impact on textile art is significant in itself but more, Carol is a powerful creative force that's worthy of your time. She can be found on IG, FB and YouTube.
Her website is: https://carollebaron.com
Make sure to sign up for her mailing list as she offers a free look into some of her stitch meditations.

Finally! They say that great things are worth the wait and that's certainly the case with this podcast with Carol LeBaron.
Amy met Carol (Not Karen), on the Nomad Network, back in 2020. They became fast friends as being an artist in the modern world is fettered with new technology and a lot of extra steps that seem to arrest "the flow" of creation.
Carol is an amazing textile artist. You can find her on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and maybe one day, she'll come back to ClubHouse, along with your hosts.
Thank you for this awesome 2 part podcast, Carol! You make being a little different, a little less lonely.

After learning about all the characters and life lesson that Pat (Patrick Ross) had meet and learn from, we find that he's still learning, growing, seeking... It never ends!
We hope that our listeners who are seeking a career in tattooing, can listen to this journey and realize that even after decades in a business, the needle keeps moving. You'll look back one day, and realize that there's so much more ahead and hopefully, take some time to appreciate all that you've done... Just as Pat did with Amy in this 3 part walk down memory lane.
Thank you Pat! It was a pleasure meeting you.

From apprenticeship to instant tattoo studio owner, Patrick Ross has really experienced what it is to just keep on keeping-on.
In part 2, we talk a lot about the people we've met along the way; How they influenced our journey and our sincerest gratitude for the experience. Pat has some very rare experience with tattooing and the disabled world... Listen to discover.
It's funny how Pat wanted to teach in special education and through just his time learning the tattoo business, the universe still knew his heart and primed him for what's next in his life journey... Very cool how that works.

This is a wonderful series (3 part interview) with a tattoo artist that has operated for over 2 decades and is ready to take on new challenges, starting with being a Stay-at-home-dad. Meet Patrick Ross!
We dubbed this episode, "Clear the Way" as it's important to always make room for what's next. It was an important step when Pat entered tattooing and it's important as he's entering another important point in his life.
Thank you so much Pat! Loved this talk.

As we continue to talk with Charlie Barba-Cook, (Offensive Line) Part of the Minnesota, Vixen, we discover that Charlie does far more than leading the charge against an opposing team; Charlie helped to found and coach a separate woman's football team (great in their own right), the Minnesota, Minx(Follow them on IG). Moreover, Charlie is very involved with activism. Stay tuned to the end of our time with Charlie so that you don't miss all the wonderful things this human is trying to do.
As it would seem, Charlie takes the offensive-line position in life; It's part of her "direct" approach. Moreover, she's open to field questions or give information (pardon our football puns). If you have questions, Charlie welcomes the interaction... Hit up those DMs!
Right now, we are hoping that this podcast will back up to an announcement: We're waiting to see if Charlie makes Team USA and can go represent us in Finland. Get em' Charlie! :)

Continuing the discovery of Women's football and the Minnesota, Vixen: Here's Charlie Barba-Cook!
Charlie is an offensive line player for the Vixen and a Disabilities Service Case Manager when not on the football field.
Throughout Charlie's whole interview, there's the theme of guarding, managing, and a care that goes beyond her own best interests at times (which Amy can relate). As much as Charlie is ready and able to take an offensive position, she does so in the defense of all that she deems sacred.
Thank you for your story Charlie! So much more awaits our listeners in Part 2, but to start... Charlie with her passion for her job and football, takes the lead.
If you would like to sponsor a player or the team, please visit the Vixen website and give these ladies some love and encouragement.

Sam is a rising star and adorns the lucky number "13" as she lives her passion, playing women's football for the Minnesota, Vixen.
Both personally and professionally, Sam is someone to admire. It's rare nowadays to find a human so focused and authentic. Fell in love with Sam as she answer's the question of "Who would she want to meet if given the opportunity?" Listen to not only get the answer, but to share in the awe of this very cool lady.
We loved meeting you Sam and we hope that the world picks up more of the energy you are putting out into the world. It's great stuff and we're rooting for you in all ways.

Ever heard of the Minnesota, Vixen? Neither had we until Amy went to Minnesota and heard about this amazing, women's football team.
We'd like to introduce Sam Barber, a carpenter by trade but a passionate athlete whenever, wherever, she can be. She's on of the ladies of the Vixen.
Please join us as we meet Sam and if you're as turned up and excited as we were after this interview, consider sponsoring Sam and her team; Definitely check out the Vixen website and get to know the next big movement in the game of football.
Thank you so much Sam! Listeners, don't forget to come back next week for Part 2.

So happy that we can introduce Krista Reid to everyone. Amy met Krista via Jordanne La Fae, and like most humans that Jordanne knows, Krista is a budding talent and great human; She also has a really unique origin.
You can find Krista at her studio Oak and Iron in Buffalo, NY (It's a full salon and tattoo studio). This is a 3 part interview that has an amazing story and quite a beautiful vision for tattooing in general.
Thank you Krista!

Derek Hartmann (Derock to his friends) is a listener and now, a guest of T.A.D. We loved hearing his journey and what inspires this new face in the community. It was so easy to work with Derek in regards to podcasting that we can imagine that it's a wonderful experience to collaborate with him on a tattoo. Moreover, Derek has an aim to always be gracious and kind with future artists; He's had to start his career amidst a pandemic, lockdowns, supply issues... so he knows the hard-knocks well when it comes to pursuing passion.
Derek works currently out of Art and Soul Tattoo Gallery in New Glarus, WI. He's most into Neo Traditional as a style in tattooing and uses music as artistic inspiration. If you want to know a very current apprenticeship story, Derock is here to tell you his path in tattooing over the last few years.
Make sure to follow Derek on IG and keep an eye on this growing talent.

It was so nice to meet this budding young artist in Part 1. Derek Hartmann (Derock to his friends) is a newer tattoo artist and he shares his journey with us; Through multiple career paths that finally lead back to art, enduring shut-downs and finally, a position in tattooing.
Derek works currently out of Art and Soul Tattoo Gallery in New Glarus, WI. He's most into Neo Traditional as a style in tattooing and has quite the array of interests. Listen in as we meet Derek and hear what a very current apprenticeship journey looks like.

All the way through this interview, we've gotten to know Fawn Baker of Red Tree Tattoo in Columbus, OH. In this last part, we share some insights into how it is to be a podcaster and we get a podcast referral that we know everyone will see themselves in.
Fawn is one of the hosts on The Tattoo Collecting Podcast and like all our guests, has a very unique story and personality.
We really admire Fawn and found a kindred soul in her. Please be sure to keep your eye on this talent (We are going to). We will touch back in the future and certainly make a point of getting Jordan Rookus on here too (Fawn's team member on the Tattoo Collecting Podcast).
Thank you Fawn!

Fawn and Amy discovered another thing in common in our second episode. Find out why being a Vicki's Girl is an essential step to being comfortable in the world of tattooing.
Fawn Baker works at Red Tree Tattoo in Columbus, OH. Fawn is one of the hosts on The Tattoo Collecting Podcast and she's quite the wiz at working tech, tattooing beautiful work, all while creating a fantastic atmosphere, for her, her clients and her podcast followers.
We really admire Fawn and found a kindred soul in her. Please be sure to keep your eye on this talent. It seems like she's only getting started. :)

Such a wild week! Hopefully, Fawn will see the funny in this title for part 1 of our 3 part interview with her. We had so many little goofs all the way up to the posting of this episode. On our end, we just got back internet as it's been down for days. We had to get our audio wizard (Chuck Nunn) involved and he did our wonderful Intros and exits this week.
We know that you'll love Fawn Baker (tattoo artist at Red Tree Tattoo in Columbus, OH), just as we do. It's hard for us not to love her as she shares so many things in common; She's a tattoo artist, a fan of a good blunt and a fellow podcaster. Fawn is one of the hosts on The Tattoo Collecting Podcast and she's quite the wiz at working tech, tattooing beautiful work, all while creating a fantastic atmosphere, for her, her clients and her podcast followers.

Sad to see this series end as it's always an adventure with Linette Ramos De Soto . She is the owner of Breads & Threads Handmade in Flint, MICH and a professional "Chicken Lady"; Yup... You heard it right... A Chicken Lady! In this episode we get the fortune of hearing a book reading as well as some bonus stories about what happens on Linette's mini farm.
You can catch Linette regularly on Clubhouse .
Please be sure to check out Linette's magazine at: Breads & Threads the Magazine . The magazine is all about empowering women and minorities to make their business dreams come true:
https://www.breadsnthreads.shop/start-your-business-journey ~Linette does regular business coaching and her next group of students will be sometime in January, so make sure to follow her on IG where you can get updates.
Now that we've had a glimpse into Linette's personality and listened to her voice, the next step is getting a copy of her book, "Ramblings of a Chicken Lady". As you read, picture this beautiful, Puerto Rican, mother of 5, reading you a bedtime story about life, love and all the wonderful things that come from being a Chicken Lady.
Thank you Linette! You're an amazing person to know and call "friend".

Okay... So, right out the gate, we know Steve is going to blush when he sees the title of this episode... Own it and feel the force Steve! We all have doubts but the force is strong with you. Moreover, there's lessons learned in what others label us; They sometimes can see more than we can.
Steve Cochran is a manager and artist of Reckless Heart Tattoo in Greenville, SC. He's a wonderful guy and Amy had a great time meeting him (Rico wasn't available...shame, but we persevered).
Thank you Steve. We'll be coming to visit in the flesh at some point, or, if it happens at a convention sooner, be prepared for a big hug from both of us.
Hosts: Just Amy Nicholls this time (Rico and Steve exclusive in the future.)

Last time, we learned about how Steve got going in the tattoo world... Not the most savory of places he admits. Hey, when the light comes in, it can only be seen clearly in the darkest of places.
Steve Cochran resides in Greenville, SC and manages Reckless Heart Tattoo. Having had a very unusual beginning, Steve truly cares about legacy; About how he impacts the world around him. Steve's gone through a lot of living. He's witnessed more than the average and knows what tattooing has done for him. Because of what Steve's experienced, he now aids in the coaching/education of other artists. (He just had one baby bird take flight into her own career.)
Some things to note:
The quote that Amy pointed out (the one about pain being transformed or transmitted) was said by Richard Rohr.
The artist, both Amy and Steve discussed, who does hand painted calligraphy, is @deliavico... Check out both references as these are people to know. :)
Thank you so very much Steve. We now have our time set with Rico and Tattoo-Steve ... This will be fun!!!

This was an amazing 3 Part interview and we can't wait to share it with you!
Steve Cochran is an amazing guy, artist, manager, and undoubtedly, father. Steve resides in Greenville, SC and manages Reckless Heart Tattoo. He's not only gone through his own unique apprenticeship, but now helps apprentice other aspiring tattoo artists.
Steve has been a lot of places and experienced so much more than the average human, let alone, tattoo artist. He's truly worthy of having a book of his life written... and the amazing thing is that his life isn't even over yet; So many adventures await.
Thank you so very much Steve. We will be hitting you up to do an exclusive interview with you and Rico. Sorry he missed you this time. This exclusive has to happen because it will assuredly be the most fun podcast we've ever done.
Hosts: Just Amy Nicholls this time (Rico and Steve exclusive in the future.)

How perfect is it that the last part of our time with Terrie Christine marks our 100th episode. We're only sorry that we were delayed in this post, but as Terrie says, energy is everywhere. We also believe that everything happens in it's own time.
If this podcast resonates would have to recommend Terrie's great book: "The Secret Power of You." You can get your copy on Amazon . The book is the perfect bite of not only Terrie's experience, but what might help others find their true powers.
We are so grateful for your time Terrie. Thank you so very much.
You can find Terrie Christine on FB, IG, YouTube; Please be sure to like, follow, subscribe, and if you're really cool, you'll write reviews and share. Sharing is the best because as we said up top, it ripples further than can be imagined... you might just save a life.

Terrie Christine is an Intuitive Energy Healer and Psychic Medium. This is the second half of our discovery of how Terrie realized that she needed to not only pursue another career path, but change her life entirely. "Love will come," says the universe.
If this podcast resonates, we recommend you start your healing , go to Amazon and get your copy of Terrie's book, "The Secret Power of You". The book is foundational and might excite you more for (not only) the conclusion of this interview next week, but your own future self.
We are so grateful for your time Terrie. Thank you so very much.

This is a podcast you'll not want to miss Diary Listeners. Terrie Christine is an Intuitive Energy Healer and Psychic Medium. This is certainly one of the most unique professions that this podcast has had the pleasure of learning about. It was certainly powerful.
If you would like to do as Amy did and catch up to the story, please go to Amazon and get your copy of Terrie's book, "The Secret Power of You". If you don't buy it before the rest of the interview unveils, we feel certain you'll want to check it out after. It could very well save your life.

This was a wonderful meeting of minds. Amy met with EJ Tron of Unmask the Kids. This connection really started long before Unmask the Kids, as Amy has tattooed and done art for EJ's family since the early 2000's. Talk about legacy and community connection!
In this episode, we are publicly voicing our rejection of mask mandates. In truth, we reject mandates of any kind when it gets in the way of personal freedom, but this is specifically about masking children.
Every once in a while, it's important to declare a position. The members of this podcast try very hard to be transparent and open with who we are. We take pride in showing our passions and vulnerabilities. We believe that it is the best way to move forward authentically.
If you feel the same as EJ and this podcast, please reach out to EJ. She is on Instagram as @ej_tron and is the administrator of the Unmask the Kids group on Facebook (1.9K members to date). Also, EJ has created lovely shirts for the group, and if you would like one, please message or DM EJ. She will not stop in her fight for the children and all funding will go towards supporting the mission to unmasking children at school.

In this second part, we learn how passionate Chris is about his art. It's incredible when we find the thing in life to keep pushing for. Of course, our families and loved ones, but it could be the hope and need to paint again.
Thank you so very much for this time Chris. We can't wait to visit, see your studio, watch the stars and find one more human to keep being inspired by.
Chris is the owner and operator of Kellers Sign Shop in Hagerstown, MD. If you're local, you probably already know Chris, but if you're out of state or country, you can find him on the internet: IG, Facebook Email Chris at: kellerssigns@gmail.com

Chris Keller is a stellar guy. He's the owner and operator of Keller's Signs in Hagerstown, MD. In this two part series, we really get to know Chris. He's a man of high integrity and it's clear that he really cares about what he puts his mind and hands to.
This episode chronicles how Chris got going, who his mentors have been, and his views on the profession as he's climbed in the industry as a name.
Chris is a key component to not only his own personal brand, but many other brands too. What's in a sign?... Listen and find out how much care goes into this profession that's been passed down for generations.
Like his page on FB too... Let's give him some love. :)

So... We are late posting this interview, but we won't do that without providing a lot for our delinquency. This is a 3 part interview with our new friend and awesome artist, Jordanne Le Fae, owner and operator of Weird Ink Society of St Paul, MN.
There were so many cool points to Jordanne's story that we couldn't decide on a title for all 3 parts, so we decided to give them all their own name.
Thank you Jordanne for this wonderful time with you. We are coming to MN, if not this year then next. We love your style lady. It's full of color, community and life.

Miss Vampira (Mary) is back with Part 2! Mary has been hustling her heart out to get into tattooing, ever since she got clear on what her heart really wanted in a career. Hey, those heart strings can pull us in many different directions. In Mary's case, she's moved from West to East coast. Not only that, but she's just getting started as she's in her first year of tattooing.
Make sure to follow Mary Minahan coined "Miss Vampira" on IG . You will not be disappointed.
Mary works presently at Red Baron Ink . When you check her out, you'll be blown away by her skill (side nod to Grant Lubbock, Mary's mentor). It shows that this gal has certainly been spending her nights working hard. (Hey, Vampires need to eat too!)
We know the audio of this podcast wasn't ideal, but we will have more time with Mary in the future. We've made plans. ;) In the meantime, thanks for touching back for Part 2. Let us know if there's any information that wasn't clear... we'd be happy to touch back and clarify.
Miss Vampira... We thank you for the love and for this time. We couldn't be more honored!

We are so proud of this interview. Miss Vampira (Mary) slipped into our DM's and told us how much she liked our podcast. WE were so honored and struck by her kind words, we just had to know more about this rising star... So we got her on the show.
Mary Minahan coined "Miss Vampira" on IG when iPod touch was a thing and with that kick-ass name, she's been building one hell of a tattoo portfolio.
Mary works presently at Red Baron Ink and she's been tattooing for a year now. When you check her out, you'll be blown away by her skill (side nod to Grant Lubbock, Mary's mentor). It shows that this gal has certainly been spending her nights hustling. (Hey, Vampires need to eat too!)
Miss Vampira... We thank you for the love and for this time. It means so much to our baby podcast. This is just Part 1 and even when Part 2 is released, we know that there will be much more in store... We all have just begun!

So good, we felt it needed an episode all its own, here, on the Diaries. Kire Franklin and Amy met in MA for a live stream supported by Reinventing the Tattoo. We had a great time and wanted to make sure that everyone got the information.
If you're new to the podcast, this is a good one to cut your teeth on. In many ways, our podcast has be culminating to this moment.

We hope everyone had an amazing Independence Day (4th of July for those non-Americans).
What better way to wrap up the holiday than to check back in with Amy's interview with Max Klein; A special needs and neuro-diversities advocate for The Boy Scouts of America (who are now open to girls too).
Thank you so much for your time and for work you do Max. We feel that good mentors are hard to come by and it's a wonderful thing to meet someone that has so much passion to aid the youth and their families; It's much needed.
Keep doing all that you do. We look forward to your event with #stopthestigma in late August. Mental health awareness is much needed and we are so happy to know a direct influence for change.

Clubhouse is a new social app that is filled with potential. Rico and I have both joined and fallen in love with the wonderful people that we've met around the world there. Max Klein is one of the many awesome folks we've had the pleasure to meet there.
Max captivated us right away and Amy set up an interview to highlight all the many things that Max is about; Predominately Max's work with the Boy Scouts of America and specifically being an advocate for the neurodiverse.
You can find Max on IG and especially on Clubhouse (@maxkleinbsa). He's doing some really cool things with #stopthestigma and building towards an event in August.
Thank you so much Max! We don't know who scouted who, but you're a gem man. We hope to shout you and your efforts, out in the episodes to come. Let's stop the stigma together. We are completely on board.

This is the wrap up of our time speaking to Tom Seest (a senior software engineer)and he's a pretty funny guy. Tom has led a very unconventional life so far. We are excited to see what's next for him; Our guess is a bike ride across America. No matter what he does, it's bound to be a route less traveled.
You deserve a Monster Energy endorsement Tom! Fingers crossed they hear this amazing story of yours... your signature can could be neon green to white... The Beast Seest flavor? LOL.
If ever there was a story that challenges excuses, it's Tom's.
You are a beast Tom. Thank you so much!
You can find Tom on IG, Facebook, Medium, Twitter, Substack, YouTube, and more... He's making his way coast to coast (literally and virtually). Tom also has an alias know as The Pun Guy, also found on Twitter, Substack, and YouTube . Tom is also on sites that this podcast doesn't know about yet... listen to the end and you'll be able to find Tom in all corners of the internet.

So, it's never been so hard to title an interview. In the end, we went with a common rhyme of Rico's... "Tom, The Beast, Seest."
There's just too much to say about Tom Seest. Truly! From neon yellow, to curing heart disease. LOL... How do you break that down into a ditty? You don't... you just listen to this interview and like mining for gold, you'll find nuggets everywhere in what Tom has proven with his life; Tom was even kind enough to push through a bit of a cold for us. He is a Beast!
If ever there was a story that challenges excuses, it's Tom's.
You are truly remarkable Tom. Thank you so much!

We know you've wanted to hear Part 2 (the conclusion of our time with Casey)
Just remember that the dream is built on small actions that lead to the bigger picture. Also, never underestimate a petite woman with a tattoo machine; She'll own her size, assume the name "Baby Hands", and then show that size never matters, but especially in being a baller tattoo artist.
Now, Casey found her way back to her roots (Matteo Ink in Westminster) and is able produce from a place of integrity. She's also involved in training the next generation of artist.
We are so proud of Casey! She's killing it in the tattoo game by following her heart and just keeping it real. Love watching her go. This is a must listen for anyone who aspires to tattoo.
Find Casey on IG, Facebook, and give her a "Like" and "Follow". If you wish to work with this crazy, talented, artist, please visit her website and submit a tattoo request.

Man... This was a fantastic time and it's only Part 1!
Amy sat down with the lovely, Casey Hart, of Matteo Ink, in Westminster, Maryland. In this interview, Amy was able to catch up with a friend who has grown so much in such a small amount of time (pardon the pun Casey) :) ;P :D. (Casey's nick name is Baby Hands because she's a petite human who creates wonders with small paws).
Like most, 2020 had Casey re-examine what was important and probed her to make some moves for her life and career. All in all, she decided to reconnect with her roots and produce from a place of integrity.

Here it is listeners: Part 2 of the tail of Ken Madden. We know that it was hard to wait another week for the conclusion. Hopefully, in the background, you all have been looking Ken up and finding his personal exploits on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn... he's worth a "follow" and a "subscribe" wherever you might find him.
Seriously, Ken's like us and we could have kept talking for another 3 hours but we figure that we are all creating and growing (the ambitious people we are) and we would just touch base later, as we are all creative friends.
This relationship started on the Nomadic Network. Please check out this amazing network of creators. Jason Stapleton is such a great connector. If you've been trying to turn up what you're doing and push back on some excuses in your life, we recommend Jason and his tutelage.

So excited to deliver this conversation to our listeners. We met with our new friend, Ken (Kenneth) Madden and asked him all about his time in the car and motorcycle world. Not only that, but we heard some amazing stories about Ken's family of origin.
Ken designs motorcycle parts as a main profession now, but it wasn't always such a stable landscape; Ken had to follow his passions in many ways, some for profit, some for experience. It has paved the way to a life where now Ken finds himself able to step away and do art for himself. He's doing some really amazing things and we have enjoyed watching him go.
Please check out Ken on IG, FB, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter... and we believe that a podcast might be coming soon as well.
We met Ken through the Nomadic Network that was founded by Jason Stapleton. If you are looking to meet amazing go-getter-types, we highly recommend this social space.

This week had a bunch of movement with little to show on the podcast front. So, we took this time to shout out some cool happenings, and highlight some of our friends and collaborators.
We really are sad that this episode ran into technical debacles, as it was supposed to lead with a challenge that @soulkation is doing on IG (April 26-30). We're too late for this challenge, but we wanted you all to know about Logan and her efforts to nurture the soul. Very important stuff if you're on a path of learning as we gotta love ourselves to move forward. Thanks for your work Logan and we hope we can shout out your next challenge on time. Maybe we can get you seen a bit... and that's always good.
Also, we shouted out Clubhouse, Jason Stapleton , Carol Lebaron, Ken Madden, Joey Matto (Dotson)... All people that I've been getting to know more, and talk with. There are more folks to shout out, but we started with these peeps and will continue to showcase more of our friends.
One last thing... Sarah at Your Sauna Studio... I miss you and sweating. I'm gonna come soon hun. Sorry I dropped the ball. Go check out Your Sauna Studio in Rockville, MD everyone... It's awesome and beyond needed over here.

Here it is... Part 2! We're still collaborating past this conversation. Kire Franklin and I are going try to put together an apprenticeship event. Please look out for call-to-actions from The Apprenticeship Diaries, Kire herself, Reinventing the Tattoo. This all is gonna be super cool and we're excited about what we're dreaming up. We hope you enjoy this first jam session. Pardon the pauses. The tools WILL meet our ambition one day. :)

Say it however you wish... Kire (Kire Franklin) is open to all ways to say her name cause she's walking through fires and perhaps, with us and Reinventing the Tattoo, starting a few.
This is our chat where we are dreamscaping and seeing where we're at within each other and what we can make happen (Rico couldn't join; Running personal errands). We are hoping to have regular meetings, events... Really, whatever we can do to combine forces to deliver more to you (our audience) and satisfy this nerd like fixation on art, education, etc...
Please reach out and let us know what you all might want to see. We want it to be something that's fun for everyone... This is only Part 1... We got more to say about all of this, so join us next week to hear more about what we're thinking.

Not quite sure why, but somewhere in sending this episode to Chuck, we lost the tail end. Of course, Chuck makes us sound better than we ever could on our own. It's all meant to be and we've lived long enough to not overly question the universe.
The big stuff discussed:
Reinventing the Tattoo (get 10% off your subscription today by clicking the name.)
We're on Clubhouse (Every Tuesday at 12:10pm). Come join Amy for now and when Droids get access, Rico later. We'd love to hear your experiences and get to hangout. Amy has 7 invites for 7 cool people, so please reach out via DM.
Also, we'd like to get your help to stop a ban on tattoo inks (Blue 15 and Green 7). Click here, and you'll be taken to Intenze's action page. Also check out and follow Save the Pigments on IG and Facebook. We can't stress how much this means to our industry. Please stop this ban and sign the petition; Your artist will thank you.
Amy's favorite number is '7' and this is Episode 77. We thought it was a good time to touch base with our listeners and give everyone some current events.
Thank you for listening!

This is Part 2 of our interview with Jen Armstrong. We were able to reach all the way to England for this interview. We are so grateful for this connection. Jen Armstrong, or as you might know her: Vegan Queen V (@veganqueenv), is a singer, song writer, and animal activist.
From a client's investigation into vegan eating, to a song, to a tattoo assignment, to posting the finished tattoo with a tag (@veganqueenv), to reaching the a gorgeous human who wrote the song, to a podcast interview. This is 100% the power of connection and the internet. If we can use these tools to keep doing things like this, think of what we could do for the world at large?
Thank you Jen! We're gonna look out for your album drop (We love what we've heard so far).
Passion is what it takes folks. We truly believe in the ripple effect that can happen when you choose to stand for something; It's amazing what it can inspire in others... especially if you have a voice and talent as awesome as this lady. :)

The universe was certainly set to give us this interview (going far on our basic Zoom plan; All the way to Yorkshire, England); So excited to have a chat with Jen Armstrong, or as you might know her: Vegan Queen V (@veganqueenv). She's a singer, song writer, and animal activist.
This interview shows the power of connection through art, the internet, and of course, love. This is part one of our deep dive into the story that spawned this gorgeous human and amazing talent. Thank you Jen and we look forward to your album drop (We love what we've heard so far).

Here's how we wrapped our time with Lucky Barnard(@luckytattooer). Lucky owns both Artful Dodger Tattoo studios, one in Seattle, WA (@adtcseattle) and the other in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (@adtcda)
In Part 2 we discuss the name 'Lucky' a bit and the nature of 'luck' itself.
Again, as we said last week, this is a sparkling example of a professional journey, great attitude despite all the hard knocks and just an all around, great human.
We know that the audio of this interview is regrettable, but Lucky is worth so much attention and praise for what he's accomplished. We pushed on despite the lack of sound quality to get what we could. We've talked to Lucky and there will be more chats down the road. This was our first try. ;)

So amazing how things go down in life. We truly believe that if you stay positive and be the kind of person that is hard to hate, you'll do great things in this life. With that being said, we are super excited to have met Lucky Barnard (@luckytattooer).
We don't know if our listeners remember, but Wyatt Cecil gave a sparkling review of Lucky and the way he runs his studios. Lucky owns both Artful Dodger Tattoo studios, one in Seattle, WA (@adtcseattle) and the other in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (@adtcda)... Amy now knows how to pronounce Coeur d'Alene too.
Lucky has his own, 'fun', start where he learned all of what not to do. Listen and see what Lucky does when the universe gives him opportunity... From what we can tell, he comes prepared and meets the challenge.
This is a tattoo artist that has an amazing legacy. We are truly honored to have met him and gotten to sit down for a few hours. This is a two part interview, so please join us back next week.
Up front, please muscle through the audio we were able to get. Sometimes, we can't get the best with remote recording. This was a case where we had to push on and get what we could. We've talked to Lucky and there will be more chats down the road. This was our first try.

Pardon the late release of this episode Diary Listeners; Especially, pardon us Jay or ( Jerrad Santmyer).We know we kept you waiting on Part 2 of our chat with @glasskid
Jay is an amazing glass artist that we had the pleasure of getting to meet via our good friend (and cohost) Faith Frazier or @faithbakescakes.
Enjoy and please go see Jay's art, follow him... you will not be sorry you did. ;)

This whole interview was brought to us by the lovely Faith Frazier; She invited us to a magical art day where Rico and I met the wonderful, Jay (Jerrad Santmyer or on IG: @glasskid).
As his interview will illustrate, Jay is a wealth of knowledge, eager to spread the love of glass. He's known for minatures in the glass world; Little jars full of fantasies, small wine glasses, bowls, baggies of nuggets... really anything! We're also, pretty sure, he broke some record for smallest, functional, bowl.
There is no way to share the joy that is meeting and knowing Jay. He's such a kind, giving, talented, and true human; Figures we'd meet him via our friend Faith who brings the same kind of passion to cake decor as Jay does with glass.
This is a great time, all the way through. We hope you catch part 2 next week. As Jay says up-top... Glass is endless!

Thanks for tuning back in for our second part of the interview with Wyatt Cecil. As you'll discover, he has sooooooo much left to tell, and truly this part of the tale holds one of the coolest universal happenings!
Right when you think you might have been left behind, you might find yourself on a whole other journey; full of amazing folks, you never would have met... had you gotten discouraged.
Wyatt has such an amazing soul and beautiful attitude. He says he's an old man at heart, but we'd like to see that as having wisdom of his experience.
Amy's here to tell ya that if you can check your ego, you might be able to meet cool people like Wyatt Cecil (of Tattoo Temple in Rathdrum, Idaho)

Meet Wyatt Cecil of Tattoo Temple in Rathdrum, ID!
Amy was a crazy person one night and couldn't sleep; She went to the worst place in the world with that kind of crazy (FaceBook) and she stumbled on to a post that Wyatt had made in a tattoo group. Her opinions got the best of her, as Amy launched a tirade in Wyatt's inbox (being really honest cause that's how we grow). As a crazy human would, she confronts Wyatt, only to learn that he's a really cool guy who's willing to take the time (at 3 am Eastern time) to have a sensible chat about differing opinions.
In retrospect, this couldn't have been more kismet. Wyatt is a wonderful human that was able to bring Amy back to center... so much so that she thought beyond her opinions and asked to interview.
Soooooo happy for this interview! It's truly a treat everyone. Wyatt is an amazing artist and such a great person. He really is genuine and if anyone knows what it is to be humbled by experience... it's this guy!

In part two, we chat with Tara Bell about introspection. We learn best tips. It's a cool journey to consider. Amy has to learn what an 'interview' is... and stop talking so much!
Tara is a very talented and so patient. We hope you follow her on her journey and then we can all grow together. Art is grand that way!
Rico's consistent as always and helps with the laughs. (what class is complete without its clown).
Thank you Tara! You have so very much to offer. We're going to have you back and gag Amy so that you share more. (Amy's learning listening. It's truly a challenge and she's sorry!) :P
This is a powerful lady folks and we hope you enjoy her beginnings as much as we do. Biggest hugs Tara!
Thank you Diary listeners!

In part one, we are introducing our friend and Amy's new student, Tara Bell. Tara is a very trained artist who really just wants to put her art to work for her. This made Amy nostalgic in that, there was only, really, a desire to do her art as a profession. We're going to do many things together in this year, and see what shakes loose.
Rico's always the support in all that this podcast does. He gives us all the laughs and makes the time learning, bearable and light (what class is complete without its clown).
Thank you Tara! This was your first podcast and you nailed it! We really didn't prepare you well (we're getting better... Swear!) ; We appreciate you showing up and just trusting the universe, yourself and us.
This is a powerful lady folks and we hope you enjoy her beginnings as much as we are.
Please join us next week too as Tara already has so many wonderful insights to share. Part 2 proves to be equally awesome!

Lots of challenges in this year ahead and we feel that as long as we manage expectations, work from a sincere place, we cannot fail (perhaps learn a heap, but not fail).
Meet Eric Anderson everyone, or Veteric (@artbyveteric on IG)! Eric and Amy are going on an experimental, apprenticeship journey. We are taking a huge leap of faith here and gonna document as much of this journey as possible so that we can share this with you all.
Eric is coming from a very secure career as a veterinarian. Listen and see why Eric is making the moves he is. This is the very first installment of a journey that we will report back on frequently.
Amy is making it clear that she doesn't know if this will work. Eric's expectations are low, so he's managed already. Rico's always ready for anything!
To the tattoo artists who think that we shouldn't apprentice anymore people, please write in. We'd love to interview you. Get your perspectives. Amy is looking for critique as much as she's willing to give it to someone else.
Happy New 2021 all!!!! Let's make this past year count for something and turn a frown, upside down. :)

Rico and Amy attempt to get more 'business' minded in this episode. We both lack the attention span to be honest.
This is right before Christmas (a holiday Rico loves and Amy loathes). Jesus took the wheel of this episode as some stats were read, observances made... Amy still doesn't know what's happening on Spotify??? "I don't remember the password :/"
We're figuring it out! Perfect reflections before the New Year. We're setting some goals and hoping to make 2021 amazing!

So excited to introduce you to our lovely friend Ina Vigilato (@inacorn on IG). When you think Ina, so many things come up: tattooing, painting, yoga, essential oils, nature, health, connection, the list goes on... Just like her dazzling collection of sea shells, Ina's a rare gift of a human; A person who's not only learned the art of tattooing, but how to flow and follow her intuition.
We are so happy to share Ina's stories with you; It's like listening to a sea shell and learning the secrets of the ocean.
Thank you Ina! Your insight is precious and we are so incredibly grateful!

In part 2, we wrap up our talk with the lovely Suzanne Witt (a scientist who also trains strongman/woman).
As if taking on global issues weren't enough, Suzanne pushes cars with her down time. She's a key player in this viral world we all find ourselves in and when that's not on her work list, she'll be figuring out how to keep all of our water safer for years to come. To put the cherry on the top, her way of de-stressing is to pick heavy things up and put them down... What an inspirational human!
Thanks Suzanne for being such a support to all of us. Here at the Diaries, we're happy to have had a moment of your time and really gotten the chance to understand the work you've done and continue to do today... We are really happy to know ya!

Introducing the very cool, Suzanne Witt!
Amy met Suzanne first as a client (perks of the job) and through working together on a tattoo, Amy learned how cool a human Suzanne is (a chemist who trains and competes in strongman/woman and powerlifting.) Once Rico learned that Suzanne shared his passion for strength, he was an instant fan of hers.
It was a no brainer to ask Suzanne for an interview. We're happy to showcase her and her path to becoming what she is today. She is an inspiration and what's really cool about this interview is that a lot of professions and interests came together for an awesome, two part conversation.
Thanks Suzanne for not only entrusting your skin, but donating a story to our podcast. We are really happy to know ya!

We know you've been waiting and we're happy you're back to hear part 2 of our time interviewing Rylee West Anderson (currently tattooing out of Minneapolis, MN, at Brass Knuckle Tattoo (@brassknuckletattoostudio).
Rylee is a joy of a human and a wonderful artist. It's very cool to meet someone who knew, from a young age, that they wanted to become a tattoo artist (and seriously meant it!). This is definitely a tale of preparation meets opportunity; No luck can keep a heart in tattooing... only love and crazy passion.
Give Rylee a follow if you haven't already... His work is beautiful! He's known for his snakes but if you look, you'll just see gobs of talent everywhere: @rylee_west_anderson

What a cool person! We were able to spin off the ever so amazing Dakotah Rose, by making IG introductions with her good friend (and the man who designed her dope T-shirt) Rylee West Anderson. Another gem of a human!
Rylee is currently tattooing out of Minneapolis, MN, at Brass Knuckle Tattoo (@brassknuckletattoostudio) He's got a wonderful style that has predominantly 'Traditional' roots... Probably because Rylee started to learn how to tattoo as a high school senior (around 2009) and had a lot of biker culture around; A good skull was always a sick tattoo! However, it's clear that, through years of obsession and honing, Rylee has made something completely his own.
Give Rylee a follow if you haven't already... His work is beautiful! @rylee_west_anderson

What a wonderful learning experience! Taxidermy is so much in one package; art (all forms), biology, conservation, chemistry, and apparently a great way to meet people and have a lot of fun!
Dakotah Rose was amazing and we wanted to thank her for sharing so much with us. Please check out her website; There you can learn more and see more of Dakotah's creations (she's got some amazing items for sale too!).
Be sure to, after listening to this podcast, do yourself a favor and get on Amazon Prime to watch "Stuffed"; A documentary that features Dakotah's profession (features Dakotah and a wonderful baby zebra) and shows how truly beautiful taxidermy can be.
We fell in love with not only taxidermy here, but Dakotah herself. Thank you to our listeners and all who have given us your time. We appreciate all of you so much!

Taxidermy has been a love and fascination of both Rico and Amy. We got the pleasure of asking whatever we wanted of the very talented, Dakotah Rose of Dakotah Rose Taxidermy.
Dakotah is such a wonderful person in every way possible. As we talked about some of her many experiences through learning, competing and now, teaching work shops in taxidermy (when able), we all found so much in common and laughed a lot.
Be sure to, after listening to this podcast, do yourself a favor and get on Amazon Prime to watch "Stuffed"; A documentary that features Dakotah's profession (features Dakotah and a wonderful baby zebra) and shows how truly beautiful taxidermy can be. Moreover, it gives new life to honor creatures of this planet.

Thank you Jerry Magni (@jerry_magni) of Tenth Heart (a private studio) in Milan, Italy!
We hope to continue to learn from you. Amy's still digesting information and trying to figure out how to map her designs on 3D armatures. We'll see if that comes to anything??? So grateful for the tutorial that led us to you.
Jerry is a deeply passionate person and artist; Right away, you see the dedication he puts into everything.
Jerry started his professional art career in comics first, doing a number of titles and covers; He's put out books, designed for big companies and is a phenomenal tattoo artist.
This is Part 2 of a two part series where Jerry shares a lot of his thoughts about his own journey and his hopes for the future of tattooing. It's a wonderful conversation that wouldn't have happened if your hosts had it all together themselves; They needed information and went in search for the answers. Amy could still listen more. :/ :D

So this was so unexpected but such a gift from the Gods; Thank you Jerry Magni (@jerry_magni) of Tenth Heart (a private studio) in Milan, Italy!
We discovered Jerry on our own quest for knowledge. Amy hit Jerry up over tutorials and from there, figured this was the perfect type of human to talk tattoos with on the diaries.

This was quite an amazing interview for us. We found a kindred spirit in Eric Bovenzi (Tattooing out of Rockville, MD). There is instant love for this guy! 'Romance' is the feeling in all that he creates (at least that's what Amy feels).
We'll let you all listen and decide for yourselves, but we found a forever friend in Eric. We also fell for his pup, Stanley.
Find Eric at: @bovenzitattoo He'll be tattooing at Stay Humble Tattoo Company (@stayhumbletattooco) from Sept 14-16. Our guess is that he'll be booked, but we see this guy getting real busy fast, so put your requests in for sure; Pretty sure you're looking at next year already... so contact him!
Follow the lovely Stanley at: @stanley_bovenzi
Thank you Eric... You're a joy man!
Also, check out: @stonethecrowtattoo ... Eric credits them highly in his journey as an artist.

Tony is a multi-international, award winning, tattoo artist, as well as a swell guy. It was so cool to get his time for a little bit and hear about the wild ride that amounts to a career of 23 years tattooing. He now resides in Hannover, Germany and works out of South Side Ink.
The best part of this interview is that Tony keeps learning even though, by all accounts, he's arrived at so much.
Really a pleasure all around. Please be sure to give him a follow on IG at: @scientific11 and look out for him if ever you find yourself in Germany. Follow the studio on IG at: @ southside_hannover

This episode shares some of the happenings and thoughts of your hosts. Please DO contact us if you have insights. We always want to hear from our listeners.
The title is more a nod to a personal story that Amy shares during this episode. Within this story, Amy shares her views of certain social media dialog and how she likes to view it. She also makes it clear that when someone does come at her, or the things she values, she's more than willing to defend her position.
Rico, as always, calms everything down and makes us all smile.
Thank you for listening folks.

Here's part 2 of our time meeting the lovely Angela (IG: @bella_ana_art). This was truly a wonderful time. Being open and honest is such a mark of character and bravery; It was awesome that Angela was willing to come see us. Just goes to show the guts needed to embark on an apprenticeship journey.
We're so happy that the ball is rolling for our friend. Her first tattoo home and apprenticeship is at Hokey Pokey Tattoo in Rising Sun, MD. Please make sure to follow them here at Hokey Pokey Tattoo and on IG @hokeypokeytat2
If you start following Angela now, you can be the person to say you knew her when she was cutting her teeth on pig skin and cantaloupe! This is a very promising talent and we are so excited that she's passionate and determined, no matter what obstacles are ahead.

Angela (@bella_ana_art) is an apprentice in this 2020 landscape; We thought it would be a good idea to see what that's been like and to ask her some more details on the specifics of her journey so far.
We met Angela for the first time in-person, this past week, after an initial IG relationship where Angela was just starting her apprenticeship inquiries.
We're so happy that the ball is rolling for our friend and she was able to find her first tattoo home and apprenticeship at Hokey Pokey Tattoo in Rising Sun, MD.

Man did we have a great night with Faith Frazier and Shawn Ferguson(@migosdad and his dog: @casamigo_reposado)!
Shish kabobs and cake!!! We made the meat and Faith, as her IG handle would imply, brought the cakes! (@faithbakescakes) Now a days, she's more exclusive to decorating cakes, which is a mastery all its own.
Food network might be in this ladies future, but whatever comes her way, a cake will always be involved. We certainly appreciated the wedding sampler we got to try of Sage Cakery (Where you can find Faith decorating). @sagecakery on IG and www.sagecakery.com/order

Our first three part episode; This is the conclusion to our time spent with the awesome Ely Wick.
Thank you Ely for giving us so much of your valuable time. You're a busy lady and we were so honored.
Find Ely Wick at Idle Hands Tattoo Emporium in Glen Burnie, MD for tattoo art. You can see her beautiful inventory of T-shirt designs at either Teepublic or Amazon: Just search Ely Wick
Ely has a great website where you can see her work and see all the wonderful ways she nurtures the world around her: www.elywick.com
The next installment of the wonderful Ely Wick! We know you've been wanting to hear more...
Thank you for sharing your rawness Ely and allowing our rawness in podcast-land, to infiltrate your home and take over... We laughed, ate, shared and got to reminisce about days gone by. As a tattoo artist of 16 years, Ely has many a story to tell... In this episode, Ely also shares some of her background before tattooing, in psychology.
We gained so much perspective from Ely and had so much fun! Ely currently works at Idle Hands Tattoo Emporium in Glen Burnie, MD. You can find her at www.elywick.com. As well as items at: http://www.teepublic.com/user/elywick Her IG is: @elywick
I hope this 3 part series will convey the magic of this day spent learning more about a fellow tattoo artist and friend. Thank you endlessly Ely!
Special thanks to Chuck Nunn (Audio Wizard) for helping us remaster our Intro and Exit tracks. We certainly loved the original but didn't feel classy enough for it just yet. We're a bit more "Raw" than "Refined". Chuck helped to embody a more playful tone with his Jamuary 10 (list of Jamuary's found here at: Soundcloud.com/chuck-nunn )
Thank you so very much my friend!
In recognition of the 'OG' theme music, thank you Brandon Carter at (Brandon Scott Carter Publishing). The name of the original track is "Ink Apprentice". If you liked our original music, and want to work with Brandon, you can email him at: (brandon.carter@outlook.com) Great human! ;)

Excited to get back to work and start making contact again, Rico and I made the journey to Harper's Ferry to meet with the wonderful, Ely Wick, at her cabin in the woods.
Ely was kind enough to let us bombard her whole day and stay well into the evening. We laughed, ate, shared and got to reminisce about days gone by. As a tattoo artist of 16 years, Ely has many a story to tell.

We got up and said, "Hey, let's just talk at ya and fill this spot with our morning coffee banter."
Rico and Amy share thoughts and personal perspectives.
The hope is that this will be foundational work. Each time we run low on interviews (due to many reasons, but still overly disappointing) we take the opportunity to stretch our podcasting muscles and just impromptu talk.
Not every work is a masterpiece. Sometimes, it's just practice. ;)

Rico's been promoted but he just found out. Lol!!! Amy shares some newbie business owner frustrations; Nothing too crazy but worth a perspective.
Let it be known that all was figured out; Amy got her ink issue handled and all parties seem to have reached a rapport.
Thank you continually! We hope you're enjoying the banter. We're having fun talking at ya! :)
Chuck... You are most excellent my friend. Your part in this podcast cannot be understated.

In this episode Rico and Amy share what's been going on and some solid tips; Learn fish recipes and hear how to 'fish' your clientele.
Very fun interacting with our audience. We hope to do that more. Please share your fish recipes! :)
Growing slow is important; just as patience is an attribute of fishing, it is of good communication. It's important to learn our community and to help in any way we can.
Ultimately, Interviews will commence; A fishing day will have to be sacrificed to the tattoo gods!
Thank you listeners... You make us what we are.

Short and sweet this week. We didn't find an interview for this week, but we did do things...
Hear about some of the things that your hosts have been up to! Rico and his family are big time fisherman and they've been sharing their secrets with Amy (She's been adopted to the fisherman family).
In hair the phrase is, "I'm a Beautician, not a Magician," in fishing it's, "Be a Fisherman, not a Wisherman!"

All the places he's been... Hear more stories from my friend Jeff Bult; Artist at Bloodmoon Collective, right outside of Albany, NY!
You certainly have seen a lot Jeff! Jeff recommends you don't figure things out the hard way all the time... It's not a fun way to learn.
We all are looking forward to when we will find a more consistent landscape in life; Peace is sometimes lacking in consistency and needed then to be found in many tiny moments. Thank you Jeff! Looking forward to seeing you in the future.

So great catching up with an old friend. Jeff Bult, of Bloodmoon Collective, in East Greenbush, NY, met with us this past week and shared some crazy tales in apprenticeship land. We decided that a place named 'Curlys', owned by a bald guy, might have been a good read on the kind of education one could expect inside (in hindsight).
Jeff is a fun, kind human who I (Amy) met on an artist retreat. He's always willing to grow, travel, learn and quite obviously, loves tattooing and it's connection to art. Glad to have him on the show and to see where life has taken him to this point. From what we can tell... onward and upward!
Thank you Jeff!

Rico takes the lead on this one as it was his birthday! Amy is perpetually emotional but calming her butt down day by day (Rico with the assist).
Forgive the personal platforming. It's our hopes that you will get to know us (your hosts) and find a connection. Later, once you know who we are, you'll have more fun listening to our conversations.
If you already know us, this episode will cue you into where we find ourselves on this May, the 5th (Cinco de Mayo); catch up with friends.
Thank you to all our listeners! Thanks to Chuck for the extra awesome audio skills!

In this episode, Rico was off being 'essential', while Amy took the opportunity to share a very personal story.
I (Amy) had a lot to share. (What's new... Right?)
This episode shares some information about one of your hosts that is needed before you give anymore support for this podcast. This is a confessional-type podcast, where your host shares a very personal story about who she is, and what motivates the human, she finds herself being today. As Amy's mother used to always say, "There's no holes in these palms!"
Some corrections for the record: Amy misspoke about a few things: 1. She said that she didn't mess up her life more after this moment in history; That was wrong! She definitely messed up her life a lot more, in many ways, that taxed many humans, along her journey. 2. That her aunt died of kidney failure; It was liver failure!
The craziest people are those who don't think they're crazy... Some really crazy times are shared here.
Remember: We all are born with wings that can fly... what you do with your wings is entirely up to you. However, whether it's made of gold or hard, cold, steel, a cage is still a cage!... Even if the bars are invisible... it's still a cage!

My cousin has given 15 years of dedication, muscle (of all kind), to her craft! Meet her! Follow her school, and see her heart as I have (finally... Only took a half a lifetime to notice!). She's incredible!!!!!
Find your strength, challenge what you think you know about yourself by managing your mischief... My family is here to help you start your journey!
~Niff's facility is in a beautiful warehouse space with a huge skylight (please check it out on Instagram!) @secretcircusphilly or on Niff's personal circus account @theniff

Rico and I are so very excited to introduce Niff Nicholls to all of you; She is both family and the owner and founder of Secret Circus located in Philadelphia, PA.
Niff (Jenny, as Amy used to call her) was always a force of her own making! She's also talented in so many ways; She draws, can play a bit of guitar, act, hum a solid melody, and when she started doing aerial, it wasn't any kind of surprise. In a family of talent, it seems she got the full spectrum!
However, it took 15 years and a pandemic for us to really meet and spend time one on one. The admiration only grows as we sit and talk with this amazing entrepreneur. She's a good witch... Promise!
Join us and see why I'm so very proud of my family!

Welcome back to the conclusion to our interview with Brad Hill, co-owner of Golden Yeti Art Collective in Franklin, TN.
Here, we get more personal, and find out more about how Brad thinks. It's always a cool journey when meeting artists; They let their minds go to some extreme places... Probably fuels that endless well of art. Brad's mind, strikes me as a fun place, full of wonder (I'm sure we can all appreciate that in quarantine.) "Big Foot is real!"
Go scope out Brad, and his crew on IG:@elchupacabrad @goldenyetiart
We hope we get to meet more of the Golden Yeti crew, and hopefully, once we are beyond COVID-19, we can go visit and get the chance to see this studio in action.
Thank you Brad! Thank you Golden Yeti Art Collective!... It was an honor!

We are happy to bring you Brad Hill of Golden Yeti Art Collective in Franklin, TN; Brad was fascinated by tattooing as a child, and has taken that love of art and imagery into his partnership with co-owner (and best friend) Jeff Barnard.
Honestly, this was the hardest interview to title. Brad strikes me as a wonderful paradox; Judging from his work, and how he carries himself, he's very grounded in honor and tradition, but he's also very playful, and knows where and when to have fun. Overall, it was an absolute pleasure.
We hope we get to meet more of the Golden Yeti crew, and hopefully, once we are beyond COVID-19, we can go visit and get the chance to see this studio in action.
Thank you Brad! Thank you Golden Yeti Art Collective!... It was an honor!

Not to "parrot" the intro too much (pardon the pun):
This is Part 2 of our interview with Trish Sloan, a yoga instructor that I (Amy) met in RI during my last guest visit at Powerline Tattoo. Trish is an amazing person, practitioner, client, bird-charmer, mom, lady... you name it; Thank you endlessly Trish! We had so much fun meeting you and some of your family. Truly an honor...
If you're in the RI area, in need of some reflection and movement (after this pandemic, we all will be)... go take a class at Synergy Power Yoga... Meet Trish!... Now you can face your fears with someone who is primed to help, as she's trained, and well practiced!
Take a deep breath, and once again... we salute you Trish!

Rico and I met remotely with an amazing person, practitioner, client, bird-charmer, mom, lady... you name it; Thanks for doing this with us Trish! Trish Sloan is a yoga instructor that I (Amy) met in RI during my last guest visit at Powerline Tattoo.
From the moment Trish commissioned my tattoo work, I was positive that her and I were 100% in-sync. Find out what captured me about this lovely person, and if you're in the RI area... go take a class at Synergy Power Yoga... you will have a very invested teacher!

If you liked last week, you'll love this week, as we conclude our time meeting John Denmat of Powerline Tattoo in Cranston, RI. We know you've been waiting to hear the rest of John's story...
John ends with some really good advice for the the future generation of tattoo artist; It's almost fortuitous advice, given the status of America at the moment, and what's to come after COVID-19.
Thanks for coming back to the diaries! :*

Our first full day in RI, John came to visit us at the "Whimsical Wickford" (our gorgeous Airbnb, for what we thought would be a stay from March 10th to the 18th... But the COVID-19 had other plans!) John sat at our kitchenette table and told all, with a passion that was instant to see, and a personality that would make him very hard to ever dislike.
Thank you John for coming out on the edge of a pandemic. We really appreciate you! This is a great tale and we know it will inspire many. It was a great way to start my guest visit to Powerline Tattoo (as We're new to meeting John)... Almost like a team building day activity for networking in the tattoo industry. :) Very cool!

In this episode, there isn't an interview, but our hosts share more about their journey in podcast land. The struggle to get past the feelings of failure; Amy admits to her tendency to being too much, and Rico gives his advice; Who knows if she'll listen... it's not a strength. :/
Rico also gushes over our live broadcast and how he's found his 'thing' in The Apprenticeship Diaries; Amy admits she's too controlling and would do better now that she knows the vibe.
We also shout out Brad Hill: @elchupacabrad who we hope to interview in the future... check him out! Follow!
@griefburrito is a podcast we've been trying to do a cross-promotional with, but have been doing a million things, so here's a shout out to them... Go check out those boys over in the UK.
We also mention Why I'm Single, The Podcast... if you haven't listened, you should; Very amusing!
Next week, Amy and Rico are going to Rhode Island for a visit with Powerline Tattoo. Please check them out @powerlinetattoo Hopefully, we'll get lots of wonderful content while we're in town.

Thank you Chuck (our audio wizard)! He always works with the crap I give him. :|
I sited TED ex Daily podcast and the talk done by Victoria Gill.
Rico shouted out Guy Harvey. However, the marlin guy was Matt Watson... check them both out! I know I am.

I know that everyone's been waiting to hear the wrap up of our interview with Halo (owner and operator of Black Lotus Tattoo Gallery in Hanover, MD); This interview was amazing and we really hope that it was insightful to anyone who ever thought that their dreams were too lofty. Please make it a point to know about Halo and follow him, his studio, and the very talented people who work there: IG: @tattoosbyhalo, @blacklotustat2gallery, and from there, you'll meet all who work at Black Lotus (I'm hoping they'll want to interview with me one day too. Fingers crossed!)

A big thank you to Halo (Owner and operator over at Black Lotus Tattoo Gallery in Hanover, MD)! I loved hearing about Halo and the very indirect way he came to tattooing and art. It was really fun and surprising given what we see now, after 16 years in the industry and watching him on the well known tattoo show "Ink Master" (Season 4).
Jump into a mind that exercises all excuses and continually seeks to improve. Halo admitted that he has an obsession with figuring out how things work; he doesn't self defeat before he begins and understands the baby steps to building a dream.
This is definitely worth two weeks of listening. Meet Halo Grey and learn a bit more about his journey to the man we know today.

We know that everyone has been anxious to hear the conclusion of our meet up with Robyn Jones. Her whole attitude is amazing; So great to meet another wonderful creative. The more tattoo artists we meet, the more we want to meet. It's cool because the more artists we come across, the more our knowledge grows of our craft, our community and the more we want to share with our audience.
Thank you Rose Red Tattoo. Thank you Robyn Jones! Meet Robyn's husband Drew @one_inch_heroes. Follow Robyn @jonesytattoo see her at www.robynjonestattoo.com contact her via her studio page www.roseredtattoomd.com

Needed this one to get into the (#Hindsight2020) New Year! Thank you Nicole!
Rico and I join our friend, and long time client of mine, Nicole, for a ramble jam over coffee. Lot's of conversation points in this episode. Find out more than you might have known about the nursing profession, and be regaled by talk of the paranormal.
I announce some new shit:
Refocus for 2020. We want to explore more than just tattoo apprenticeships, moving forward; We think that all apprenticeships are important for "The Diaries" and we want to see the similarities. Please reach out if you've had an apprenticeship of any nature. We'd love to hear your story!
We have a Patreon account now: https://www.patreon.com/theapprenticeshipdiaries
We also have a new logo that we've added to our swag gallery:https://www.teepublic.com/user/theapprenticeshipdiaries

Wow... What a cool interview opportunity! I asked both Marc Gagnier (manager at Painful Pleasures) and John Garancheski (owner of Tattooed Heart Studios, my boss and mentor), to meet with me after the holidays.
Painful Pleasures is a distributor of both tattoo and piercing supplies. As I listened to Marc's origin story, it became apparent that this man, along with this company, shares a lot of the same unconventional paths, as those who find themselves leaning into the tattoo profession.
I discovered so much in this meet up. I was always grateful to have a distributor right downstairs from our studio. More over, Painful Pleasures has sponsored our studio for conventions, supplied machines and products for our studio to try and use. However, getting to know more about Marc and what he did to see Painful Pleasures become what it is today, really makes me proud; Proud of my industry and the people who surround it.
Thank you Marc! Thank you Painful Pleasures! Happy New Year everyone!
Also, I must admit, I'm guilty of this pledge of "not reading". Painful Pleasures (the awesome company that it is) has a blog, and they did an interview with Marc as well: https://info.painfulpleasures.com/blogs/celebrating-20-years-business-20-questions-marc-gagnier
This is a great way to round out the podcast info, and get the full "Marc" story! Really cool folks!

In this episode, we meet my father, Ron (Dad to me). In business, my parents set the tone. My father was the first to apprentice me (twice). I had gone to school, and done the formal, regulated, route, and really felt there was a disconnect between what I was learning and then getting a job; I did not feel prepared (drop out here). Apprenticeship is where I found my rhythm in learning, and professionally; As this episode will outline: This is the efficacy of apprenticeships.
This is a very intimate look into who your host is, and who she came from. These are her stories growing up in a small business family, and using the tools of those who came before her.
Thank you Dad! I appreciate your time. Great Episode to wrap 2019!

First, Title credit goes to Chuck Nunn, our fabulous audio wizard. Rico and I were gonna be a lot more offensive in our title idea, and I think it's best to have some class and foresight (Thank you Chuck), and not get too hostile before the dang holiday even happens.
Who knows, if we treat this season like a vehicle collision, and don't tense too much, maybe we can get out of this with minimal injury. :/
