Ever wonder how reality tattoo shows like Tattoo Rescue actually get started?
Spoiler alert: it involves a Jersey guy yelling at a film crew and accidentally becoming a TV star. 😂

🎤 Joey's journey from tattooer to one of the most in-demand convention emcees.
🖤 Why old-school respect matters in today’s oversaturated tattoo scene.
