On today’s episode I’m joined by Sam Yamini. Sam works at, and is one of the owners of, Dedication Tattoo in Denver, Colorado.

Sam and I talk about how he was introduced to the idea of tattooing by a traveling tattooer, how he eventually transitioned to doing large scale Japanese work, his creative process which focuses more on drawing to scale more so than using the ipad, and the direction he sees the industry going including a discussion on tattoo schools.
