60. CLAY DECKER - The death of a craft, the birth of an industry.
Clay has been tattooing for 35 years, crossing path with some of the biggest names in tattooing. His passion for the craft brought him to explore every aspect of the process, witnessing the change that tattooing went through as it opened to a wider audience globally.
We talked about these changes, as Clay enters a new phase of his life, having to deal with a sudden visual impairment which brought a change in perspective and deeper insights.
Special thanks to Yushi Horikichi and Jeremy Corns that helped setting this up.

59. PAULA CASTLE - Simplifying everything is the way forward
Paula is an experienced British tattooer that I’m lucky to call a friend. She’s sensitive, intelligent, driven and curious, a beautiful mix. We had many interesting talks, as we share various passions, especially the love for reading, so I thought it would be a shame not to share one of them.
Today we touched on many topics, from gender gaps, to psychedelics, to technology and emotional intelligence.
Slow down your day, make yourself a cup of tea and sit down to enjoy an hour with us.
