We welcome Alex Eubank from PACT, the Professional Association of California Tattooers, to discuss the purpose for the group and their goal that starts with rights and representation for California tattooers but no doubt effects the entire industry. PACTs success will open the doors for more local lobbying and advocacy groups with tattooers and the tattoo industry's best interests in mind.
