In this episode of The Artful Dollar Podcast, host Ryan Roi chats with one of his favorite tattoo artists, EL-J (also known as @eight.coins on Instagram). 

 

Together they explore the often toxic relationship artists have with money, how EL-J paid off over $150,000 in debt using the Dave Ramsey snowball method, and their innovative approach of 'drawing once, getting paid five times.' 

 

EL-J shares valuable insights on managing finances, the importance of open communication about money, and building a sustainable and fulfilling career in the tattoo industry.
