Great video! Super helpful!!! Looking forward to my first one 😃😃😃
Awesome
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
As someone who knows pretty much zero about the conventions, this was interesting. Thanks so much for the clarity!
Thank you for watching!
FJB! TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸
Is it true that not only have to pay for the general admission to get inside the convention but also you have to pay a lot more to the actual tattoo from the tattoo artist?
Yes, this is true. The cost to get in varies from convention to convention. But the Artists also pay for their booth space as well. They don’t make any money from the actual convention. They only profit from what they charge to tattoo or items they sell at their booth.
💪🏻🇮🇹
Man U lost me at evolution you should read about creation
sick, thanks
🏁🏁🏁🔥💪
Thanks for sharing your story, El Franco! Phoenix, top-notch content as always
My man! Thank you🙌
He’s literally got history on his body. It’s like an ode to the artistry. So cool!!
nice work nice bloke.
Deberías de hacer una entrevistas de los cholos origen sus códigos de vestimenta etc
Dope video! Carlos is a cool dude 😎💪🏽 Nice Art Work!
Nice b##bs
I thought this was a Star Wars bit about Tatooine at first.
P R O M O S M ✅
Straight up legend right here!!!!
Carlos torres is one of the best out there while being incredibly humble wich is something very rare in the industry. Glad he's doing good now he went through a tough time
Awesome work but cut the bs. You got tattooed because they look amazing.
Mis Respetos .
What is Chucos book called? I wanna read more about this Chicano inspirational person, he has inspired me so much in my personal tattoo journey for real man.
I got the book of his website "chucomoreno95237.com" I'm not sure if it's still on there but you could probably email or DM to ask about it👍
I’d say without tattoo artist people would find less safe ways if tattooing themselves, Ik some people will be like tattoo shops aren’t that sterile sure if you go to shady shop in a bad neighborhood, but every shop I’ve been to has been top notch sterile and clean and have always used an autoclave to further sterilize the unopened tattoo needle or for piercing’s the piercing needle, clamps and jewelry!
Why can’t you say the word COVID ???
To my knowledge UA-cam has restricted and or taken down videos that mention it. It doesn't make sense to me, but I didn't want all this work to be potentially taken down so I played it safe.
@@TheArtistConnection no worries brother love your channel and content …
Thank you!🙌@@maxbray6819

Great video. The one and only GTCharlie. I met him in 1975. I took one of my friends to get a tattoo. At that time I was in the Army. Those days were the best time of my life. Keep sending great content. Peace😎
Thank you!🙏
Amazing interview man. Thanks for the awesome content 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the comment🙌
Love the story homs he seems like a down ass vato
Great interview..hope to see more from Chuco.
Lots of ink on a badly kept body
LEGEND
This young man is articulate and very well spoken. I could not stop listening to him tell his story. Also in my opinion, he told many of our stories , (as far as our culture goes. ) Growing up in the early 60’s , when we entered public school, it always felt like we were expected to make a choice on how to identify ourselves We were only allowed to check one box- I always checked two American and Hispanic😂I have always stood my ground, I was proud to be both. Chuco has a very rare gift - he is an old soul and is very passionate about what he believes in. One thing for sure is he is on a completely different level. I’m definitely sharing this video and buying his book. Thank you for sharing his story- much respect.
Og is well spoken
Stop sinning
Orale carnal Firme
This is the pure essence of 'don't judge a book by its cover'. The pages in this dudes story runs deep and his ability to communicate his experiences are well beyond what most humans can verbally contextualize. I don't have any tattoos, but I'm now a fan!
crazy man so many artists.
Tattoos are waterdown nowadays bunch of hipster with gangster style tattoos 😂
Chingon
Chuco gots that tru Veterano style ...te miras chingon carnal chuco...stay up mr. Moreno.....
This guy has to be close to 50. And not one gray hair... amazing !!! I'm guessing that we're roughly the same age. Same state. Same region...SoCal L.A. SFV. I'm jealous!
This is what I needed. Difficult to find good Chicano content on the web. Keep pushing it homes
