Tattoo Machines and Tools Podcast Conversation
I recently had the chance to sit in on a podcast where we talked a lot about tattoo machines and tools that turned into a really genuine, relaxed conversation. We talked about tattooing, how learning actually unfolds over time, and how the machines and tools we depend on shape the way we work and think.
The conversation was hosted by Ricardo, a Brazilian tattooer based in Germany, on Under the Skin: The Tattoo Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. It never felt forced or performative. It was just two tattooers talking shop, tools, and perspective. I had a great time and really appreciated the thoughtful approach he brought to the conversation.
The episode is part of Under the Skin: The Tattoo Podcast, available on Spotify.
Tattoo Machines and Tools We Depend On

A big part of the conversation focused on tattoo machines and tools in a practical, lived-in way. Not trends or hype, just what actually holds up over time and how familiarity with tools shapes consistency and decision-making.
I don’t do a lot of podcast appearances,( this was my first) so a little scary, but this one felt worth sharing because it stayed grounded. Just an honest conversation about tattooing, tools, and how perspective changes the longer you stay in the craft.
