No Murdercake, Please

In this episode of Buster’s Beat, Buster sits down with longtime friend Cass — a multi-talented, non-binary tattoo artist, illustrator, and full-time cat rescuer based in Salem, MA. What starts as a casual catch-up spirals into a wonderfully chaotic deep-dive on art, anxiety, ADHD, queer identity, and—yes—a tattoo of someone’s mom as a hot dog. 🌭 Together they talk about: ✔️ Finding your path later in life (Cass didn’t start tattooing until 30!) ✔️ Owning a queer-friendly tattoo space ✔️ The realities of running a grassroots cat rescue (with 9 cats at home!) ✔️ Creative burnout, mental health, and self-forgiveness ✔️ Why tattoos don’t need to mean everything to matter ✔️ Clams, seagulls, clown noses, and dead dog Instagrams 🐚🕊️🤡 Whether you're into tattoos, animals, or authentic conversations about queer life and community care — this episode is for you. It's heartfelt, hilarious, and filled with the kind of weird that makes life beautiful. 🔗 Subscribe for new episodes! 👍 Like, comment, and share if this episode gave you life! 📍Follow Cass: Tattoo shop: Rivers Two Roads (Danvers, MA) IG: @forestthen | Cat Rescue: @salemcataid 🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else you get your queer chaos.
