Episode 13 is here — and we're talking tats! For this lucky number 13, I’m joined by my friend and talented tattoo artist, Jake Emery of the award-winning Port Side Tattoo here in San Diego.

In this episode, Jake shares his journey from curious beginner to professional artist, opening up about what it really takes to break into the tattoo industry. We dig into the creative process, shop culture, misconceptions, and what makes tattooing such a powerful form of self-expression.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a proper hang without some talk of heavy music, inspiration, and the scenes that shaped us both.

Whether you're already inked or just curious about tattoo culture, this episode has something for you.
