On this week’s season finale,  Mike Maldonado sits down with the legendary tattoo artist Yomico Moreno for a round table discussion we’ll never forget. Yomico walks us through his life as he traveled around the world honing his craft & how it all started in Venezueala with a makeshift tattoo machine made out of car parts & a bic pen. His message is simple yet powerful, find your happiness & pursue it with no bounds. Don’t miss out on this inspiring season finale!
