The truths behind tattooing & finding your purpose - Sam Waiting

from WHAT DOES YOUR MUM THINK · host Kristian Shepherd

This might be the first WDYMT where I’m in genuine pain… because today I’m literally getting tattooed while recording the episode 😅This week I’m joined by Manchester tattoo artist and Co-owner of Reign & Hail, Sam Waiting.We chat about the journey from graphic design into tattooing, the pressure of building an artistic career, the meaning behind tattoos, human connection, identity, success and what sitting with strangers every single day teaches you about people. A proper honest conversation about art, people and finding your thing.PLUS… I’m getting tattooed throughout the entire conversation, so you might hear the machine buzzing, me trying not to cry and probably a few painful moments 😂Guest:Sam WaitingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stillwaitingtattoo/Subscribe:If you liked this, subscribe to WDYMT for more honest chats with creatives.
