  • Ep. 204 "Ticks, Birds & A.I." (2:2 Diary Entry with Gabe Ripley)

    There's a wonderful parable in this Diary Entry, about boundaries and it really helped influence me a lot. My hope is that it will give each of you Listeners, food for thought as you soak up the wisdom of the wonderful, Gabe Ripley of Tattoo Now. (In connection with Reinventing the Tattoo and Fireside Tattoo).

    Have a beautiful week Listeners and to all who read these show notes, I wanted to tell you about the best movie I've ever seen (Cabrini . You might not have to pay to see it as Angel Studios has a Pay-it-Forward program). Go... watch it! It WILL give renewed hope.

    Thank you so much Gabe. You are one of the good ones my friend! You are an inspiration as well. :)

  • Ep. 203 "What Can be Given Can be Taken Away" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Gabe Ripley)

    I'm so thrilled to bring the man behind so much, to our Listeners: Gabe Ripley of Tattooed Now and truly, an icon in the tattoo industry.

    Gabe is behind a lot of the growth that has happened in the world of  tattooing, over the last few decades. His work, behind the scenes, in the tech world, has meant worlds to us artists. Tattoo Now is a leading forum that when I was a wee apprentice, was where we all went to grow as tattoo professionals. 

    With the help of Gabe, many artists have risen to baller status over the years. No matter what anyone can say about him, one thing is for sure... He cannot be removed from the history of the industry as we all know it.  

    Gabe, my friend... Thank you sir! You always make me smile and I'm so bless in your friendship. I thank God for having met you, but no matter the force that brought us into each other's lives, there's gratitude and mad respect!

    Thank you Listeners and have a powerful week!

  • Ep. 202 "Permitted" (A personal Diary Entry from your host)

    This is a personal entry where I, Amy Nicholls, talk about my time with GRAB firearms, Guntry, handguns, tattoo licenses, different states, barriers to entry... It's thick and circuitous, but it all wraps up in a nice way so that we all know by the end that permission doesn't really have much to do with proficiency.

    Please email me if you'd like to learn more. :)

    As always, thank you for your listening time; God bless and great week!

  • Ep. 201 "Compounding Interest" (Diary Entry 2:2 with Bailey Jene Moran)

    Since, in the beginning of Bailey Jene Moran's life, she took the stable job route and worked at a bank, this two part, Diary Entry, is teaming with banking references. ;) It's also so illustrative of all the risks someone has to take to cash-in on investments.

    We can't wait to watch this budding talent as she navigates her apprenticeship years; See what kind of "returns" she'll get for pursuing her passion? ;) Frankly, we have full confidence in her.

    Like her parents, we see greatness in Bailey. Make sure to follow her as she grows!

    Thank you Bailey! Thank you to your family, loving husband for always being a support system (She does need all of you and it does matter that she has you all). This show is honored to have met you in Paradise.

    God bless and as always, we are so grateful to our Listeners!

  • Ep. 200 "Investment Banking" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Bailey Jene Moran)

    Wow!!! Our 200th Diary Entry! Such a cool thing and it was so great to mark this moment with our time recording Bailey Jene Moran of Karma Body Modifications, in Tulsa, OK.

    Bailey is just starting her journey into tattooing, but because she struck us as someone who knows how to invest well, in the beginning, we decided to have her on the show.

    Thank you so much Bailey (Rick too, as her mentor). You're already making moves that will pay in dividends, later.

    God bless you Listeners!

    What an amazing story of hope. Just goes to show you that in life, it's worth risking big if the reward amounts to the kind of success that Jess and Kevin Farrand, have found.

    Make sure to watch this power couple as it seems like they are paving the way for lots of big things ahead. Also, they are guest-spotting in Hawaii and this show wishes them the safest of travels. 

    Thank you so much Jess and Kevin. We'll have to stay in touch and the hope is to interview more of the souls over at Mesmer.

    Here's to the rewards of the future! Just love it!

  • Ep. 197 "Risk" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Jess & Kevin Farrand)

    This was an instant joy as both Jess and Kevin Farrand, come with bright smiles and so much hope for wonderful things in this world. 

    This is a couple who have "risked" much to pursue all passions. It's a powerful story and so far, it's produced glorious happenings. 

    Our hope is that this gives Listeners a boldness of spirit; We can only ask outside of ourselves so much until we just have to risk high and obey the inner truth.

    Thank you for this gift Jess and Kevin. You both give me sooooooo much hope and I look forward to keeping in touch as we all grow and risk, in the future ahead.

  • Ep. 195 ”D.I.Y. Punk Rock Vibes” (A Diary Entry with Nick Baxter)

    It's so odd to say that Nick Baxter, of all people, has earned his place with me as an icon. He was epic when I started my apprenticeship. He was deserving of much praise then, but at that time, I couldn't find the energy to care. I noted the obvious: That he's an incredible artist with a perpetual youthful look. However, it took another 15 years for me to watch this incredible artist and finally, get to the point of a bit of anxiety in interviewing him. 

    Nick Baxter of (Art Realm Tattoo and Art Gallery in Austin, Tx) has always been worthy of respect. When he commits, he does so with his whole being. 

    Thank you Nick. It was such a huge deal to me (truly). This show is honored to host your Apprenticeship Diary Entry. 

    As always, bless you and thank you, Diary Listeners!

    X : TheApprenticeshipDiaries~We were suspended from Twitter but now that it's "X" we decided to delete the past and move forward; Trusting that the information is out about what happened (so the story stays straight). Let it be known that this wasn't a confession of guilt; Rather a movement made where none was happening. Twitter was a past life... We move forward on X.

    We are on these listening platforms: 

    Spotify

    iTunes or iHeartRadio

     Amazon

    Stitcher
