Description

What does it really take to be a successful tattoo artist, a present parent, and a productive creative? In this episode, we sit down with multi-award-winning tattoo artist and father of seven, Steven Hecker (aka WhatTheHecker88), to talk about time management, motivation, and how to build a life you’re proud of — without making excuses.






We get real about:






  • Why “I don’t have time” is usually a lie
  • How to stay productive without burning out
  • The biggest communication mistake tattoo artists make
  • Why success isn’t sexy — it’s boring and consistent
  • And how to build a schedule that works for your family and your art





Whether you’re booked out or just starting out, this episode will challenge the way you think about your time, your clients, and your priorities.
