After a long day at the Norfolk Tattoo Convention, Nick had the pleasure of sitting down with long time tattoo legend Mike Perfetto and this amazing episode is now part of tattoo history. Good friends of Perfetto and of the show Mike Schweigert and Wrath are in attendance and only add to the brilliant conversation that was had that evening. Do not sleep on this one. There are some great stories about old times and how tattoos got done and some of the obstacles to overcome to get them done. Once you’ve listened, go jump on youtube and check out Shop Talk. You won’t regret it.
