🎉 HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO THE TATTOO BUDCAST!! 🎉

The Buds are turning ONE and celebrating like only 1-year-olds can (and should) — in baby bonnets, bibs, and up to our elbows in baby food. 🍼💩

Join us for our most chaotic celebration yet and thank YOU, our buddies, for an incredible first year of laughs, tattoos, and total nonsense.

So strap into your high chair, grab a warm bottle of… whatever’s in reach, and tune in to the Birthday Bash! 🧸🎂

🎃 SPECIAL SPOOKY EPISODE ALERT! 👻

We’ve got a hauntingly good one for you this week featuring two extra spooky tattooers — the return of Johnny Vampotna and, for the first time ever, Christina Hock, an LA-area artist with over two decades of experience!

We’re swapping ghost stories (ours and yours), diving into tales of aliens, ghosts, ghouls, and goblins — and of course, talking tattoos. 💀

So grab your candy bucket, throw on a costume, and join the Tattoo Budcast for this very scary, very funny Halloween special!

The Buds are back with returning guest — and newest shop crew member — Johnny Bones! They come in hot with the giggles and dive into everything from Taco Bell nostalgia and Get-What-You-Get specials, to graffiti culture and even people catching feelings for ChatGPT?!

They also unpack why Michigan banned Bactine in tattooing, explore the criminal underworld roots of common tattoo designs, and lean into spooky season with the Scream Movie AI Challenge. Plus — they get weird with the tattooing-teeth trend in Asia, talk mouth breathing, and answer a hilarious listener advice letter.

Grab your headphones and get ready for laughs, chaos, and tattoo talk in true Tattoo Budcast fashion.

This week on The Tattoo Budcast, we’re joined by Mike Panic from Removery — The World’s Tattoo Removal Experts! Ever wondered how tattoo removal actually works? Mike breaks it all down and answers the questions every artist and collector has been too scared to ask.

We also dive into the age-old debate of tattoo price haggling — is it ever okay? Plus, we play a couple of our favorite chaos-fuelled games: F*, Marry, Kill — Tattoo Edition**, and a round of This or That that’ll have you laughing and cringing at the same time.

Tune in, laugh with us, and learn yourself a little something.

This week the Buds sit down with Big Ceeze — tattooer of 27 years, Ink Master alum, and former boss of Sanae (who reminds us she’s still got a big mouth and zero filter). We dive into what it was like working together back in the day, why bodybuilding competitions might be the strangest hobby for a tattooer, and Big Ceeze’s new passion project: The Inked Network, a platform built with unique features for both tattooers and collectors.

And just when you think it couldn’t get better, he drops not one but TWO wild stories for our Tattoo Cover-Up segment — one involving a misspelled tattoo, the other a sketchy run-in with the Mexican Federales.

This is one episode you don’t want to miss — tattoos, comedy, and chaos all rolled into one.

The Buds are hitting the books this week with Professor Kiki Flambé, a Communication Studies proffesor who specializes in interpersonal communication and the art of persuasion. She’s breaking down the difference between persuasion vs. manipulation, teaching us how to make small talk that doesn’t suck, and showing us what a real, effective apologyactually looks like.

Kiki also gives us a few sales tactics that every tattooer (or anyone selling their craft) can use at their next consultation. And because no guest leaves without spilling some ink—she joins us for Tattoo Cover-Up, with a wild story that may (or may not) involve ghosts… or angels?! 👻😇

Come watch, listen, and laugh with us—because after all, listening is the most important part of communication.

We got a Bud Solo on our hands today! James is back from his Hawaiian tattoo trip and—believe it or not—he narrowly survived a tsunami scare. He’s spilling all the wild details about how he escaped his brush with death. 🌊

But it wouldn’t be the Budcast without some laughs—your Buds dive into food talk, fart jokes, and a taste-test of the latest Flamin’ Hot product 🔥. Then they wrap things up with a real tattoo shop convo: the dreaded slow season—and how they plan to make the downtime actually productive this year.

Grab a seat, crack a snack, and join the Buds for another chaotic, hilarious ride!

It’s hard to run a tattoo-centered podcast without eventually touching on piercing—and today, the Buds welcome their very first piercer guest! 🎉 Long-time friend and professional piercer Alexx joins the show. With over a decade of experience, she’s here to bust common piercing myths, drop some piercing truths, and share a few horror stories from the chair. Of course, she’s bringing plenty of laughs along the way.

Tune in for a brand-new episode packed with sharp stories and even sharper insights!

What’s better than one guest? TWO guests! 🎉 This week the Buds sit down with not one but two tattoo buds from Handmade Tattoo: Pops (the shop owner) and his right-hand woman, Emily Taylor.

We get into shop life, coworker dynamics, and even read some of their most ridiculous Yelp reviews. Emily shares how she almost didn’t apply to her first tattoo shop right out of her apprenticeship, and Pops opens up about surviving a two-year closure and what it was like to open a shop at the worst possible time in history.

And of course, both Pops and Emily bring the heat (and the embarrassment) with their stories for our Tattoo Cover-up Segment .
