The same people that care more about the reaction and have no confidence in their tattoo decisions now, would have been the same ones 20 years ago, that wouldnt have touched tattooing with a ten foot pole, when tattooing wasnt a popularity contest. I wouldnt have been drawn to it nowadays for sure, collecting for almost 3 decades now (27 years)

Im really blown away by your train of thoughts Andrew! I hope your podcast will go on forever :-)

I called it “tattoo city 90’s style’’ when I’ve got tattooed by eddy Deutsche I ask him to do a tiger tattoo ‘’tattoo city 90’s style’’ and he knew exactly what I wanted.
