The Buds are back, and this one is a classic tattoo family episode.

We’ve got Dreamland Art Co coworkers Goonies and Johnny Bones in the studio, and just like Goonies’ first Budcast appearance, things immediately spiral when we decide to play EDWARD 40 Hands. That choice naturally leads to vomit stories, a very necessary intervention about Goonies’ drinking, and a discussion about her Frankenstein car that honestly might need to be put down.

We break down our go-to hangover cures, Jimmy Jam relives his glory drinking days with a party trick that absolutely falls flat, and somehow Forrest Whitaker catches a few strays along the way.

The Buds also fill you in on a recent shop cutting, where we all quickly realize we would be completely useless if we were ever held hostage. To close it out, Sanae brings a Tattoo Cover Up story that sounds like it came straight out of a movie.

Grab a 40oz, strap it to your hands, and laugh with us.

Wayne Fredrickson is back on Tattoo Budcast and somehow… he’s opened ANOTHER tattoo shop. 😂

One of the original tattoo YouTube vlog pioneers (before everyone had ring lights and “day in the life” reels), Wayne pulls up to talk about building shops like a madman, the rise of unorthodox tattoo shop chains shaking up the industry, and the wild world of creating content as a tattooer without losing your sanity.

Then things take a turn when Wayne tells the story of getting pickpocketed in England while on a tattoo trip — because apparently international crime is just part of the tattoo lifestyle now. 🇬🇧💸

If you’re into tattoo industry chaos, social media grind talk, and hearing how success sometimes comes with stolen wallets — this episode is a must.

On today’s episode of the Tattoo Budcast, we’re joined by a very special Bud in the shop. An OG friend from Sanae’s teenage years who also tattoos, straight out of Mesa, tattoo artist Aaron Brizendine, better known as Brizzo.

We kick things off by letting AI create opposite-sex versions of the Buds and Brizzo, then asking the most important question possible: would you let yourself hit? From there, things escalate quickly as we test a Hot Ones–style hot sauceinspired by Hot Ones, and James may or may not survive the heat.

Brizzo shares stories from his tattoo apprenticeship in Japan, including learning tattoo machine building and how that experience shaped his opinions on rotary pens versus traditional machines. Once again, James may not survive.

We finish strong with a wild real-life story involving a desk pop at an old tattoo shop. Yes, a real pewpew accident. Yes, it’s exactly as unhinged as it sounds.

This episode is high energy, childish, and 100% on-brand Tattoo Budcast chaos. Put your pewpew back in its holster and laugh with us.

Marco Gomez pulled up to Tattoo Budcast with THREE things: wisdom, horror stories, and parasites. 🫠

In this episode we talk about Marco’s journey overcoming gut parasites (yeah… we were disgusted too), his approach to mentoring apprentices, and how he officially became a tattoo grandpa—because his apprentice graduated and now has apprentices of his own. That’s generational tattooing, baby.

Then Marco casually drops one of the most terrifying haunted experiences from his childhood and suddenly the whole vibe turns into Paranormal Activity: Tattoo Shop Edition.

If you like tattoo talk with a side of trauma and comedy—this one’s for you.

We’ve got a very special episode for you today. Another RoadBuds installment, and this time we’re filming on location at the House of Blues Anaheim.

We’re sitting down with a very special bud, Bryan Kienlen. A tattoo legend out of Jersey and a full-on punk rock icon. We get into the early days of touring with The Bouncing Souls, how those tours compare to life on the road now, and how Bryan made the jump into tattooing, shop ownership, and somehow manages to balance it all.

And just when you think he might not be human, we go there. Imposter syndrome. Self-doubt. The struggle of pricing your own work and knowing your worth.

Kick up your boots, hang with the Buds, and enjoy. 🎙️🖤

New Year’s Eve chaos meets big ideas on this NYE episode of the Tattoo Budcast. We ring in the new year by diving headfirst into everything from urine therapy and Mexican superstitions to manifesting, the power of the mind, and whether you can actually think your way into winning the lottery. As always, the conversation goes off the rails in the best way possible—mixing humor, curiosity, and questionable life advice.

We also break down strip clubs for beginners, reflect on the unaccomplished resolutions of 2025, and refine our goals heading into 2026 with fresh perspective and zero shame. If you’re into wild conversations, mindset talk, cultural superstitions, and starting the new year laughing, this NYE episode of the Tattoo Budcast is for you.

This is how the Buds are acting when Santa is literally on his way to town.

We welcome back Bud Dalton Elliott to the studio, and things get chaotic fast when he gets tattooed by BOTH Buds at the same time. Dalton is celebrating the one year anniversary of his year-long tattoo road trip, and we’re feeling extra merry about it.

We get into Christmas dos and don’ts, our own holiday traditions and memories, and for Tattoo Therapy we help a listener navigate intense holiday burnout. Do they need to suck it up, or is it time to cut it out?

Throw on your plaid pajamas, grab a cup of cheer, and tune in for a holly jolly episode of the Tattoo Budcast 🎄🎙️
