Joining me this week is, Joe K Worrall

In this episode, I sit down with Joe — tattoo artist and co-owner of Heart and Arrow Tattoo Studio, which he runs with his wife Cassie, an incredibly talented artist in her own right. Together, they’ve built a respected studio known for strong work and a solid creative culture.

Joe has made a name for himself through detailed portrait tattoos, with a particular focus on film and horror. From classic cinema to cult favorites, his work captures the character and mood of the source material in a way that really stands out.

He’s also a serious movie fan — especially when it comes to horror — and that passion clearly influences his art. We talk about how film inspires his tattooing, building a studio with your partner, and what it takes to carve out your own style in a competitive industry.

If you’re into tattoos, movies, or hearing how creative careers actually come together, this is a conversation you’ll enjoy.

We had a great conversation, while I got a tattoo. If you want to watch me get the tat, go to YouTube
