Part 2 was so much fun with Allie Oxenblood, the Treehouse Tattooer. We finally talk about her apprenticeship. Yay!!!

This is Part 1 of our 2 Part Diary Entry with Allie Oxenblood, the Treehouse Tattooer.

In this piece, we talk all things God and explore some of Allie's time tattooing. In truth, this was

Ep. 236 "A Wise Choice" (Diary Entry 1:3 with Kevin Kline)

Part 1 of this 3 part Diary Entry is called "A Wise Choice" because Kevin Kline made a wise choice to get fully into tattooing again, before he came on the podcast. He knew the ups and downs of his time, trying to get into tattooing and he wanted to put a good foot forward before he talked too much. Now, as a member of the Tattoo Icons crew, he can start sharing with us and we can

Ep. 235 "An Honest Assessment" (After Paradise with your host)

Nov 02 2024 44 mins

This wasn't an assessment of the Paradise Tattoo Gathering. It was a personal assessment of how I felt after I went to this gathering and the specific ways that I really stretched beyond my limits.

Ep. 232 "Touching Base" (A personal Diary Entry)

Oct 01 2024 84 mins

I had a movie day with family today (hence my late podcast release) and this is one of two movies that I've seen lately. For a person who typically doesn't find too much reason to go to the movies, I'm rather struck by the saturation of movie-going; I'll give my take on one of the movies that I've already seen as well as let you all in on why I went (today) to see the other one.
