We had Squire Strahan on the show while he was in town for a seminar. We talked about his 20 year tattoo career, things he dabbles in outside of tattooing, his road trip around the country with his family in an RV, and more.
Squire is nationally renowned for his unique illustrative tattoo style as well as his attention to detail. The way he creatively uses his illustrations and interest in graphic design makes his merchandise and its packaging, convention booths, and seminar presentations all head-turning. He’s a frequent teacher, a serial learner, a business owner, a family man, a Florida man, one of the most humble tattooers out there. It was great getting to know him better!
