tattooer

Legendary tattoo artist, Filip Leu, sits down to discuss why he is excited to share his work with friends without seeking validation from social media, why no one is a “natural artist,” AI’s impact on making art, and why tattooing done with care is what it’s all about.

This is part 2 of this conversation. Part 1 can be found on Ep 051.

Episode thirty-nine of Strong Enough Podcast brings Ink Master Season 3 winner, Joey Hamilton. Joey’s appearance on Strong Enough provides a rare “behind the scenes” look at his life beyond being an award-winning tattoo artist.  

During this episode, Joey talks about being a business owner and the challenge of balancing his business and his passion. He also shares on his time in the military, how he feels about mentoring other artists, and what he learned through divorce that helps keep his marriage strong and healthy. Joey discusses why he believes focusing on the positive will bring good things to your life. Joey and I discuss why he thinks NFTs are a great opportunity to own art, and he shares the plan and timeline for his first NFT release (spoiler: it’s amazing!). You don’t want to miss this unprecedented look into Joey and what he’s really like as a person, not just an artist.

I couldn't believe my luck in August, 2019 when coming out of a Stray Cats concert in NYC and my girlfriend spotted Joe Capobianco walking out not too far from us.  Joe is a tattooer I've been following for almost as long as I've been into tattoos and to me is a giant in the tattoo world; he has a distinct, innovative style which he has been applying for years.  Much to my delight when I walked up to Joe and introduced myself and told him that I would love to interview him he was very agreeable to it and so a couple of weeks and a couple of phone calls later this interview came to be at Hope Gallery in New Haven, CT.  I'm happy as could be with the way this interview came out and the fact that it happened at all, there aren't too many people in the tattoo multiverse that I hold in more esteem than Joe Capobianco!!  Give a listen and hear what Joe has to say about all kinds of stuff, you won't be disappointed!!

On August 16 Under Our Skin Podcast traveled to Poughkeepsie, NY to meet up with tattoo artist and Ink Master contestant Elva Stefanie at her private studio The Blank Slate.  We talked about her life, her time on Ink Master, her struggles and accomplishments and she gave us plenty of info about herself that left us at a loss for words a few times.  The only way to find out what it was is to listen!!
