She really is!!

Ryan you deserve all the success in the world. Not just because you’re incredibly talented. You’re genuinely a good person.

I'm impressed by how quickly Colton responded with that "The Office" quote 😂.

Listen. My brain has a VERY limited capacity. 90% of it is reserved for random Office quotes. -Colton

I love how humble she is with her skill level and talents.

I recently lost my dog to his quickly progressing diabetes all the while I was coming to terms with my bladder cancer diagnosis. Luckily, I was able to catch it on its early stages and while I was dealing with this my dogs health was deteriorating. On the day of my surgery for the biopsy and complete tumor removal, my dog was driven 2 hours to an emergency vet hospital that I could afford to pay treatment for him. He was put down the day after my tumor removal was considered successful. It felt like he gave his life for my betterment even though I was hoping we’d both be able to recover and continue seeing more of the world together. I love all of my dogs but this boy was my baby boy, he is so very special to my heart and I will truly never forget my Oso. Ryan’s story hits incredibly close to home and it makes me admire this woman more than I already had. She’s so well spoken and has so much wisdom and consideration for people it’s genuinely not something you see nowadays and it’s refreshing. Much love for y’all.

Listening to these videos have been what I’ve been needing for years, being a female in the industry is nearly never talked about. And even if it is talked about, it’s brushed over and not seriously talked about. So empowering to finally hear these big artists share their stories, a day in their lives, and how they’re moving forward. I’ve never been so inspired to keep going like how these videos have made me feel. Thank you for creating these videos and shedding light on these vulnerable moments.

This was a great podcast. I recently lost both of my dogs at the same time due to a tragedy that I blame myself everyday. I totally lost it and balled when Ryan talked about her dog. I understand the feeling. I just started tattooing full time and yall are such an inspiration.

Thanks for watching!!

I freaking love this so so hard!!! The positivity and good advice and warm energy throughout this whole discussion Actually brought me so much joy, hope, and clarity for humanity! I’m a mommy of 8 and a new baby tattoo artist facing complete rejection from family and loved ones, but I feel so moved to tattoo and help people in various ways have a positive beautiful experience. I was an at home illustrator and hobby musician (Diana Dai’lyn) for a long time and just always wanted to tattoo! Thank you so much all you inspiring artists for giving us little folks hope!🥹💖🙏🏻🫶🏻

Like the others here, I really appreciate this conversation. I have been treated horribly at work in very similar ways to what was spoken about, mainly from other women. This has helped me feel less alone, thank you.

A network of connections via friends and groups who can be walking advertisements of your work will promote you to the top. Right place right time. Love her attitude of positivity and being a successful female artist who is willing to share knowledge and skills is amazing. Working in a culture of women, it’s rare for women to build up other women. A terrific trait to have. Great story of humility

SQUEAKING IN WITH THE FIRST COMMENT ✨ Gonna listen to this while I draw!! Also, Ryan is one of the prettiest people I've ever seen 😭💕

I'm about halfway in and stunned at the absolutely *massive* emotional whiplash Ryan went through. Like, hard to fathom a higher high and a lower low happening at once. I can't even begin to imagine.

Just finished, and wanted to say thanks to all of you for sharing these stories. I might not be in this industry yet, but every podcast makes me more excited, feel more assured this is where I belong, and welcomed. I love that my wishes for a compassionate industry are being vocalized by the biggest names in the game. I can't wait to be in remotely the same league as you guys. 🖤

That story was insane!

I love Ryan ❤️

Why does this not have more views and subscribers? Our skills get casted over by algorithm.

I agree with Ryan Ashley, just because we went through long brutal apprenticeship doesn't justify incoming tattoo artists having to brave the same treatment. The apprenticeship pathway is not supposed to be a gateway into tattooing, there's many other paths. It's a way to get a mentor to learn and evolve your skills. What you push for is what you will get out of it. If you put in constant work and continue learning from skilled artists, you can join the ranks.

Just finished listening to this and I had to come in and say a couple things (I never leave KZread comments and have no idea if this is an appropriate comment). So many little tidbits that I'm spinning off on, but overall I am extremely drawn to the vision that you all have for the future of the industry. I'm an artist, Art Director and now leadership in the Video Game industry for nearly 15 years, and I can draw SO MANY COMPARISONS to what the game industry has gone through as what you all talk about in this episode and what I've seen in the tattoo industry. Gatekeeping issues, poor work environment issues.... to where it is today, the Game industry has come a long way (not perfect, but getting there). Thank you for being a champion for this continual growth and legitimacy in the tattoo industry - it's worth the effort! Finally, the point that really made me come to comment was an idea from Ryan about how cool it would be to have someone who could connect the right Clients to the right Tattooer. I work for a very large Video Game services company with over 70+ studios across the world who partner with Game Developers to get all the games made. 3 years or so ago, I pioneered a new role in my company which pulled me OUT of a specific studio in the group, to represent 26 studios that focus on Art and Game Development. My job is called "Solutions Architect", but I refer to myself with clients as a "Spirit Guide" for my company to help our partners navigate our studios and find the best possible team for them to work with using my deep knowledge of game development to understand what a client needs, and the goals, strengths, capabilities and culture of every one of our studios. I help take the guesswork out of "who should I be working with in your group" and provide them with an honest recommendation - because it's not about making a sale, it's about building longstanding partnerships that live beyond just the immediate need. This is how you create sustainable business with a longterm view rather than just focusing on the immediate sale. What I've seen become possible by providing this to our partners has been amazing, and has actually fuelled a lot more opportunity for collaboration across our teams. I'm SO encouraged to see that there are similar sentiments happening in the industry... I would love to discuss this further as an idea, Ryan...hit me up ;-)

That's so neat! It's been cool to have so much feedback from so many different industries and the parallels between them in this episode specifically.

@@edenbodyartstudios Totally - especially in creative, passion-driven spaces where it's so easy for people to take advantage of the desire to make and express things by reinforcing the misguided and frankly belittling mentality of "Well, you love what you do, that should be enough and you should just be happy you 'get' to do this as your career". This exists all over different industries. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for producing an awesome, uplifting podcast and I can't wait to see where you guys take it. Deanna is so inspiring in how she gives back to the industry, I hope it continues to grow and build and 'make ripples' that last.

My mentor was BOOG back in 2000, when he managed Fine Line

I’ll be your collab client 😂 great episode guys!

Keep an eye out!!

Also, with politics not everyone’s wrong is the same thing. If you disagree with someone’s opinion it doesn’t make either one right or wrong. For example, my beliefs make homosexuality a sin, therefore I’m not a homosexual, but it’s not job to decide if it’s wrong for you! If you’re a true Christian, the Bible says that you will be judged with the same measuring cup. You judge others by. That is very heavily paraphrased lol but I can’t decide what’s right for another person. I can only decide what’s right for me!

Omg pick me for the colab piece! 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

Is there a reason why one who tattoo's isn't called a tattooist instead of tattooer ?

Bobby was worthy of the title, but my opinion, Freddie deserved it more. But opinions are not facts! It’s not a fact that Freddy deserved it more, it’s an opinion.

Just want to remind everyone Gian Karle was the rightful winner of ink master. Ryan only won because it was a publicity stunt for a girl to win it. That is all thank you.
