I recently got tattooed by Bills apprentice and it came out 🔥. It was really cool getting Bills approval on the placement of my tattoo 🤙🏾

I'm a Tattoo artist from Michigan. Love most of the interviews. I have discovered some amazing artists I didn't know about. There's a huge list of "must haves" on this show. I like hearing interviews from non tattooers too

Bill’s a Beast. I remember when he told me, many years ago… he doesn’t drink water before a tattoo… because bathroom breaks and tattoo time… He’s always been a beast!! WHOLESALE!

I loved this! Since you asked at the end of the video what type of audience you have a tattoo artist from New Jersey and a Tattoo a lot of different styles so I can definitely relate with you but I’m trying to focus just on Japanese work. I would love to see you interview some more Japanese influenced tattoo artists!💪🏻🙏🏻

I’m glad this interview happened. I just got tattooed by him on a flash day after this was recorded. I got one of these needle to skin dragon heads and I love it. He is an interesting person and I appreciate his perspective on things. Wish I had more tattoos from him now after watching this.
