Today I sit down with John Craig, aka The Fake Tattooist, at his huge new private studio in Hove, Brighton. Having previously been on Channel 4's First Dates and more recently SAS Who Dares Wins, I wanted to understand his artistic background and journey into tattooing and the industry. 

We cover the difficulties shop owners face with running a busy studio and the seemingly impossible task of trying to achieve balance in life. John's positive and assured outlook was refreshing and it was inspiring to sit down with someone with such a determined attitude.
