Episode 41 of the Unite and Win Podcast features tattooer Phil Hatchet Yau.
Phil spent most of his career working at Tahiti Felix’s Master Tattoo in San Diego, where he built a strong foundation and developed his approach to tattooing. He’s now working at Fast Time Tattoo, continuing to grow while staying true to what got him here.
In this episode we talk about how he got into tattooing, what brought him down to San Diego, and the experiences that shaped his career along the way. Phil also speaks on how he got into doing coverups and how that became a big part of what he does, as well as how he developed his signature style over the years.
A lot of real insight in this one about longevity, staying consistent, and navigating the tattoo industry without losing yourself in it.
If you’re into tattooing or just like hearing real stories from people who’ve put in the time, this one’s worth checking out.
