Welcome back to TATTerbox, the tattoo podcast where we talk honestly about the tattoo industry, social media, business, creativity, and everything that goes on behind the scenes.

In Episode 3, Birmingham-based tattoo artist Megan Smith-Evans sits down with Abbie Wayte, tattoo artist and co-owner of Lucky Penny Tattoo in Leicestershire. Known for her fine line, ornamental, and floral work, Abbie talks about the realities of opening and running a studio, building a community within tattooing, and navigating the pressure of social media in the modern tattoo industry.

We also chat about client education, tattoo conventions, career milestones, growth as an artist after 11 years in the industry, and the changing landscape of tattooing in 2026.

TATTerbox is all about open conversations with no gatekeeping, giving an honest look into tattoo life from artists actually living it every day.
