Ink Master

This is Tom Valvisori.

So I know that people are more familiar with, uh, tattoos because either they have them or they know people that have them or, you know, they watch shows like Ink Master, like, you know, I'm, I'm obsessed with that show.

Uh, but less familiar with taxidermy, and this dude is, uh, into both.

I am so curious to understand how you got into both, 'cause I love both, and I, actually I think I'm kind of a pussy because I only have two tattoos and they're ver- they're very little.

I wanna, I wanna keep pushing myself to do better.

And I feel like the iPad would hold me back 'cause although obviously there's a lot of, you know, positives for drawing with the iPad, I just haven't gotten there yet, I guess.

So as a tattooist, you know, you've got, uh, these shows on TV like Ink Master and, like, Tattoo Nightmares.

I'm completely fascinated with those things, particularly because even though I have, I'm talented at a lot of things, artistry is not one of them.

Yeah.

And then he was on Ink Masters, too, and in the Chili Peppers.

Actually, that's a decent show.

Yeah.

That's a decent show, Ink Masters.

I, I watched it with Bubba the other night in the barndo.

You watched it with Pre-K.

What

are you doing, man? He was on Ink Masters.

Oh, shit.

He did a geometric giant chest piece.

Be

careful, man, because I've seen Ink Master and sometimes the competitions people be fucking up hard.

And now you just got to you got a failed experiment on your leg.

Yeah, Seth Holmes is going to be there too.

He was, was it last year or the year before? He's from Pittsburgh.

He's a real good dude too.

He came in second place on Ink Master.

But I've been trying to get him.

Yeah, I mean, there's so much people that we have met that's been like a big impact.

And the one you're talking about, he's like one of the ink masters.

That was pretty sick of the tattoo show.

That was crazy.

Like I'm not surprised that you've got super fans.

I'm not surprised that you have a business coach that's like behind you 100%.

I'm not surprised that that guy from Ink Masters walked up and interviewed you and hung out with you because I see you guys doing for people amazing.

Exactly what people are doing for you.

all of our fucking...

Would you like to see, and I didn't put this on any kind of list, but an Ink Master would be great on the trailers.

Oh.

I feel like they should be on every, like, I've always thought, put Clean on Survivor.

That's great.

He's so fantastic.

Listener, if you've never watched the show Ink Master, it's a tattoo competition show.

It used to be hosted by Dave Navarro.

Okay.
