Speaking of Celtic, y'all oughtta check out Sacred Knot Tattoo out of Wales, and Treubhan out of Scotland. They're doing amazing historical Celtic and Nordic tattoos.

Our pleasure!
Love you guys always trowing around a lot of golden nuggets!
Carson hill figured out how to have the needle out of the skin more than in the skin per rotation cycle of the cam. Neuma tattoo machines are unlike anything on the market right now.
10/10 best way to start my monday drawing is with this podcast and some coffee. Keep it up !

Glad you enjoy it!
Very cool interview, but very frustrating cause it feels like hanging with friends but being mute... so much to say about all the topics you brought up, but eventually pretty much spot on on each of those topics. Cheers from Normandie!!! Take care
