    Zach is my Tattoo Artist and he is truly one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. I have a massive respect for him and his work. We have wonderful conversations throughout and his experience tattooing translates into an extremely professional interaction between artist and client. Seriously, I cannot recommend him enough as an artist, and an even better person.

    Florida can be hit or miss, but it is absolutely wild how many high level artists there are down here. One of the better states for tattoo economy I think.

      That is good to point out, since we were having a little too much fun at the expense of the entire state. Thanks for watching!

    Another good episode. It’s really cool seeing as the years go by. You’re becoming even more relaxed in how you feel about the history and things that would upset you about it in the past.

    I'm really glad I stumbled on your channel. It was the Filip Leu interview, no less! Your conversational style puts guests at ease and the results speak for themselves. Thanks for allowing the guests space to ruminate. Famous Late Shows hosts could learn a lot from you...

    Zach is creating some of my favorite and most powerful Japanese work in America. An absolute favorite of mine. Perfect and tough looking tattoos.

    I really love your channel Andrew..the Filip Leu episodes are sooo good
    I love when a tattooer (not tattoo artist) comes to the show.
    Why do you delete the Toothtaker episode?😢😢
    The realest illest dopest tattooer (next to Tim Hendriks ofcourse)

    My first tattoo on myself was a skull below my left knee. I also assumed i did an amazing design. It’s a blown out mess now 😅

    Super cool interview I’d have to disagree on Ed Hardy being black Sabbath, he’s definitely Steely Dan!

    Dude said that first bit like he’s doing something revolutionary lol. At this point there’s more white guys in the middle of nowhere USA doing Japanese than there are Japanese doing it in Japan

    Position the camera SLIGHTLY more either side next time, can't see your eyes a lot of the time so it makes it look awkward like you're not making eye contact at all with the person you're talking to, cos your pupils are blocked by your glasses frame. Just a tip... and also only people actively watching it might feel awkward, not people listening ofc.
