13. ROBERT RYAN- Spirituality, traditional foundations and contract killers

from TATTOO TALES · host Stef Bastiàn

Some people keep traditions alive, some people push boundaries, others implement their own vision in within a well understood and processed style. Robert is one of the latter. He absorbed the foundations of American Traditional over a long career, crossing paths with some icons such as Dan Higgs and Scott Harrison, translating that beautiful codified language of symbols into a mirror facing inward. His own spiritual practice reflects in his illustrations with the raw power typical of Outsider art and Expressionism, a way to represent reality that goes beyond reality itself. With many interests and viewpoints in common, the chat with Robert couldn’t have been but awesome. In this episode we touched many topics, from the basics of traditional tattoooing to the implications of spirituality in Robert’s work and life lessons from a seasoned contract killer. I hope you enjoy :) Stef Bastiàn Find Robert on Instagram You can give us some love on our IG pages Tattoo Tales Learn more about Stef’s Mentor Program & Webinars

I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum.
