| Building Tattooing's First Global Standard | Alex De Pase | International Tattoo Federation | 26 Nov 2025 | 00:57:00 | |
My special guest today is Alex De Pase, a name synonymous with innovation in the tattoo industry. Alex, along with Gabe Ripley and others, has been involved in transformative ventures like the Venetian Tattoo Gathering and recently the International Tattoo Federation (ITF). The ITF —a real federation, not just another association or collective. aims to set global standards in tattooing, a much-needed initiative in a world where the lines between excellence and mediocrity are often blurred. They are focused on the creation of actual standards in an industry drowning in confusion, where Instagram algorithms have convinced people that viral gimmicks equal mastery. This conversation covers everything from certification criteria and the Crystal Needle Award to Alex's new tattoo campus concept that's rewriting how we think about education in this craft.

| Influence In The Bones, Art On The Sleeve | Corey Bernhardt Technique Talk | 07 May 2025 | 02:22:10 | |
Alright folks, we've got something special for today as we dive into the mind of Corey Bernhardt! A true artist who's not afraid to wear his influences on his sleeve. When Corey came by the Inside Fireside Club, he brought decades of artistic evolution that shaped his unique approach to technique - from those early comic book days to his masterful command of tattoo machines. Corey breaks down his philosophy into what he calls "self-learned technique, learned technique, and working technique," giving us a real peek behind the curtain at how an artist evolves from imitation to innovation. So grab your dip caps and settle in as we explore everything from influences and the powerful impact of deadlines.

| Tattoo Lover's Care | 16 Apr 2025 | 00:46:01 | |
In the evolving world of tattoo aftercare, understanding the science behind healing can make all the difference in preserving your artwork for decades. When we talked with Don Ranns, we dug into how inflammation affects tattoo healing and why ingredients like CBD are showing promising results for reducing redness and irritation during the critical first days after getting inked. The shift from petroleum-based products that simply create a barrier to natural formulations that actually nourish the skin represents a fundamental change in how we approach tattoo longevity. This conversation highlighted how proper aftercare isn't just about the immediate healing phase but requires ongoing maintenance to keep tattoos looking vibrant through years of sun exposure and natural aging.

What's up everyone, I just had the opportunity to sit down with the incredibly talented Levi Hilton, a recommendation from our friend Patrick O'Neal, and it turned out to be one of the best episodes we've recorded in quite a while. Levi shared his journey from Louisiana to San Diego, diving deep into how animation influenced his unique tattoo style and the importance of understanding how designs interact with the body as a canvas. We explored some really profound concepts about simplifying art for maximum impact, using negative space effectively, and why making mistakes is actually essential to artistic growth. If you're looking to level up your tattoo game with insights about shape design, placement techniques, and finding your authentic artistic voice, this conversation is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss.

| Crossing Disciplines | Gifford Kasen | 26 Mar 2025 | 00:37:09 | |
We're diving deep into the world of Gifford Kasen! An artist who didn't just learn tattooing, but breathed it, challenged it, and transformed through relentless curiosity. From punk rock flyers to intricate large scale biomech designs, to incredible fine art, this is about breaking down artistic barriers and finding your own voice in a world that's constantly trying to box you in. Every technical skill, every experimental technique, every moment of creative friction becomes part of the toolkit of an artist committed to continuous development. This isn't some motivational poster - it's about understanding how artistic growth happens through deliberate challenge, strategic experimentation, and a willingness to completely demolish your comfort zone. If you're serious about leveling up your craft, get ready to look at your artistic development like a technical problem that needs solving - one barrier at a time.

| The Fight for Tattoo Space | Robyn and Ty Pallotta | 19 Mar 2025 | 00:44:24 | |
The tattoo industry has always been about overcoming obstacles, but few challenges hit as hard as finding the right space to call home. When we caught up with Robyn and Ty Pallotta at the Star of Texas Tattoo Convention, their story of facing 20+ rejections from property managers struck a chord that many artists can relate to. Their journey from a private studio to fighting antiquated lease stipulations highlights the evolving landscape of our industry in growing cities like Austin. As veterans know, sometimes in tattooing, the biggest battle isn't creating the art—it's finding walls to hang it on.
