004: Scotty Weeks — Part 2

from Tattoo 408 · host Ethan Gregory Dodge

Hey everyone, welcome to Tattoo 408! Ethan Gregory Dodge here with part 2 of my interview with Scotty Weeks. I loved my conversation with Scotty. He's seen so much and his shop, Marks of Art, is a staple in San Jose tattooing. If you haven't listened to the first part of the interview, go back and listen to the previous episode as it sets the stage for this episode. Here Scotty tells us about some of the folks that have worked for him, the ups and downs and running a tattoo shop, and how the industry has changed since Marks of Art opened nearly 30 years ago. Remember, we now have a sponsor, Saniderm.
