I can not wait for Fred Durst

[@dxrtbvgtattoo]

This is the interview I didn’t know I needed to see.

[@andrewstortz]

He’s great! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@tattoostudioleitmotif4703]

Good you got to get Niko on the show. Feels like a good example to show to people: being able to be crazy famous but still have his head on his shoulders. Thanks guys!

[@andrewstortz]

Thank you for watching! I agree 🤘

[@jgarnett]

I have an old Nikko piece from 2008 or 2009 (God of War) and it still looks fantastic! great interview

[@dannyderrick]

Excellent episode! It was really interesting hearing Nikko's perspective on the upper echelon of his clientele.

[@andrewstortz]

I agree! It was a perspective I hadn’t considered before talking to him about it.

[@cruzadesofmotivation]

I have always admire him since the start of my tattoo carrier thank you 🙏🏽

[@decemberset]

I like to imagine the only reason Andrew got into tattooing and tattoo content was to one day meet Fred Durst... Once it's happened he'll wash off all of his fake tattoos, get a haircut, put on a suit and tie and go back to his life as a middle manager.

[@andrewstortz]

Shhh, the plan will never work if people know

[@davidstortz9598]

Great interview!

[@christiandonofrio679]

You the man for these Andrew. Thanks for putting in the work to make good tattooing content. One can only watch so many inkmaster videos...

[@andrewstortz]

Well thank you for watching! Reality tv can be fun to zone out to, but it’s cool to dig in a bit deeper. More new eps are in the works 🙌

[@ToddStimpson]

Another banger. We listen to your podcast at our shop in Oakland and have never been disappointed.

[@andrewstortz]

Thank you Todd! Glad to to hear it 🙌

[@cruzadesofmotivation]

[@ilovecarnitas]

Good one Andrew. Chainsaw lol

[@Christophernice724]

1:10:55 how about eternal makes cartridges with ink already in them, like paint markers, just an idea don't hurt me

[@frankbobtattoo]

❤️🖤🤩

[@inkbullyproductions6100]

Great podcast hopefully one day you can be on ours

[@neilritter8418]

Bring back the tooth taker one bro? What’s the deal with that?

[@EMMETproxy]

I suppose the disclaimer at the beginning was just a clickbait

[@benchmarktattoos]

honest question. Where do we get some of this mustard?

[@andrewstortz]

Specialty Mustard shops across the country

[@_idiot]

Keurig or Nespresso needs to make a tattoo ink machine

[@andrewstortz]

Now we’re talkin’! Can you imagine seeing tattooers include #keurig on their posts?

[@joelhernandez5941]

The same owner for eternal owns fusion
