Diego Martín, owner of Hudson Valley Tattoo in Wappingers Falls, NY, left his full-time tattoo job 12 years ago to open his own shop — and never looked back.

We talk about:

  • How Diego decided to take the leap from employee to owner

  • Why the tattoo industry exploded after COVID

  • The real challenges of running a shop with 9+ artists

  • How social media and word of mouth drive his business

  • The future of tattoos in an AI-driven world
