Tattoo Budcast

This week on Tattoo Budcast, returning bud Marco Gomez, owner of War Horse Vintage Tattoo, brings a bud of his own! 🎙️ Meet Zach Sales, military veteran, skateboarder, and founder of Official Military Skate!   We kick things off with the beautiful love story of how Zach and Marco met playing Call of Duty. A tattoo artist and a veteran, brought together by video games. It was love at first sight! Their words, not ours. ❤️🎮   Then Zach tells us how his dream of skating the legendary Berrics skatepark turned into something MUCH bigger! Using his veteran status and some questionable (but genius) tactics, he made it happen. Some might call it unorthodox. Others might call it selfish. We call it RESOURCEFUL! 🤣   What started as one man’s selfish little dream accidentally became Official Military Skate, a community connecting veteran skateboarders that grew worldwide and inspired military skaters in other countries to start their own!   We also dive into the surprising parallels and shared history of military life and skateboarding.   We laughed, we busted balls, and even learned a thing or two!   Grab your board, lace up your boots, and hang with the buds!   OORAH! (NOT HOORAH)🛹🇺🇸🎙️   🎧 Watch on YouTube or stream everywhere you get your podcasts.       Like & Subscribe for new episodes every week.

🎃 IT'S HALLOWEEN WEEK AT THE TATTOO BUDCAST! 👻 And this year, the Buds are putting their artistic abilities (and friendship) to the ultimate test. Sanae and Jimmy Jam are painting each other's faces WITHOUT getting to see what the other is creating! Will they end up with spooky masterpieces or two faces that look like they lost a fight with a box of crayons? Only the final reveal will tell. While the Buds blindly transform each other into questionable works of art, they dive into some truly disturbing topics, including the infamous Pennsylvania House of Horrors, a supposed necro cat house (yes, you read that correctly), and for absolutely no logical reason, famous short kings. Because apparently height is the real horror here. They also get into a different kind of nightmare hitting the tattoo industry: tattooers jumping ship on their careers! Is the industry getting that scary, or are people just ready to hang up their machines for good? And just when things couldn't get any weirder, Sanae shares a REAL scary story from Halloweens past that might actually send a chill down your spine. So grab your candy, turn off the lights, and prepare for some frighteningly bad makeup decisions. 🎃 Happy Halloween from your favorite Tattoo Buds!   🎧 Watch on YouTube or stream everywhere you get your podcasts.   Like & Subscribe for new episodes every week.

The Halloween episodes just keep getting scarier! 🎃👻 For our THIRD Halloween episode of the month, the buds are joined by Justin Tauch, tattoo artist and owner of Breakwater Tattoo in Long Beach! We kick things off with everyone's favorite guilty pleasure: TRASH FOOD! From chicken nuggets to Taco Bell, we share our go-to meals after a long day. Then we dive into the dos and don'ts of tipping after hearing about a restaurant owner who BANNED a family for not tipping! We compare restaurant tipping to tattoo tipping before discussing the aches, pains, and bodily malfunctions we've collected after nearly TWO DECADES of tattooing. Apparently, our bodies are ready for retirement! But things take a TERRIFYING turn when Justin shares two of the scariest ghost stories we've EVER heard! From being followed home by an aggressively angry ghost to a paranormal investigation team capturing the voice of a mysterious little girl known as "La Niña" speaking to him inside a historic Chicago building that survived the Great Chicago Fire! And just when we thought it couldn't get any creepier, Justin shows us ACTUAL VIDEO FOOTAGE of what appears to be a ghost inside his neighbor's house! Needless to say, we ALL freaked out! Grab some trash food, leave the lights on, and hang with the buds for an episode that'll have you sleeping with one eye open! 🎙️👻   🎧 Watch on YouTube or stream everywhere you get your podcasts. ----more---- Like & Subscribe for new episodes every week.

FUNNY, TATTOOED ARMENIAN GIRL: Stand Up Comedian Mary Basmadjian aka Vartoush Tota | ep. 98 | 🎃 SPOOKY SEASON IS IN FULL SWING AT THE TATTOO BUDCAST! 👻 And what better way to celebrate than with the return of the man, the myth, the paranormal enthusiast himself, Johnny Vampotna, aka THE GHOST GUY! As always, things get a little weird when Johnny’s in session. The Buds dive into aliens, shapeshifters, the Backrooms, and James’s new favorite horror movie. Because apparently regular old ghosts just aren’t terrifying enough anymore. But nothing, and we mean NOTHING, strikes fear into the heart of a tattooer quite like ordering a mountain of merch that nobody buys. 😱 Forget things that go bump in the night. The real horror is a closet full of unsold T-shirts. Luckily, Johnny’s got some pro tips to help tattooers avoid that particular nightmare. So grab your garlic, check under your bed, and make sure your merch order is refundable, because things are getting spooky with Johnny Vampotna! 🎧 Watch on YouTube or stream everywhere you get your podcasts. ----more---- Like & Subscribe for new episodes every week.

It’s that time of year again… the Buds are back for another Halloween special, and the Dreamland Art Co. crew is joining us again. Because being scared is more fun when you can watch your friends embarrass themselves too.   We cover all things Halloween, from costumes that have absolutely no business being sexy to Ouija boards. Some things should stay in the spirit world. Others should stay out of the lingerie aisle.   Then the crew shares some of their own bone-chilling stories before phoning a friend for what might be the scariest one they’ve ever heard. Usually, “you had to be there” ruins a story. This one makes us grateful we weren’t.   Turn the lights down, get comfortable, and remember: if you hear something halfway through the episode, that’s between you and whatever’s in your house.   Like & Subscribe for new episodes every week.
