This week, Seb sits down with Anna Belle, a horror-inspired tattoo artist originally from Australia, now living and working in the US. Recorded live at the Gods of Ink Tattoo Convention, this episode dives deep into Anna’s whirlwind decision to join the convention just five weeks ago and her reflections on what it means to travel the world through tattooing.

Anna shares how starting over in a new country meant rebuilding her client base from scratch, and why connecting with people is both the hardest and most rewarding part of her work. From the nuances of cover-up tattoos to her massive Exorcist-themed piece in the Best of Show competition, she gives us a glimpse into her creative mind and bold style.

They talk about the differences between the Australian and US tattoo scenes, the rise of female artists in the industry, and how her husband Chris keeps the show on the road while Anna focuses on the art. The two also get into machines, tech, and why growth never stops in tattooing.

Looking ahead, Anna hints at her next stops—including Italy—and dreams of where tattooing might take her next. It's a fun, honest, and inspiring conversation you won’t want to miss. Find Anna Belle on Instagram.
