Took The Business of Tattooing podcast back on the road this weekend…
For the first time since 2020 (thanks, Covid), I went mobile and recorded live at Hell City—which felt pretty damn full circle. Hell City is actually where I launched my very first podcast, Electrum Radio, back in 2018. So recording here again? Nostalgic as hell.
This time, I sat down for a bonus episode with someone who’s not just an industry powerhouse, but a close personal friend: Scott Versago, owner of Skin & Ink magazine.
I’ve known Scott way before he ever took the reins at Skin & Ink. We go way back. Not only is he one hell of a smart businessman, but he’s also an insanely talented artist with a real, raw passion for the craft. And now, he’s using the magazine to elevate tattooing and the artists who inspire him like never before.
I’ll be honest—it took a lot of convincing (and some wine) to finally get him to open up and agree to this interview.
But once he did? The stories he shared… you don’t want to miss this one.
Stay tuned—I’m hoping to drop the full episode by the end of the night. This one’s packed with a wild origin story and some incredible moments from Scott’s journey that even I hadn’t heard before.
He’s a real one.
