Ep56. Rhys takes his tattoo addiction to next level, where Little Tokyo The Temple of Art was born

from The Truth About Addiction · host Ron Isherwood

On today’s episode, I had a really good chat with my friend and tattooist, Rhys Gordon, whom I have known for nearly 30 years. We discussed tattoos, our addiction in tattoos and our ‘beginnings’ before tattoos became the ‘normal’ form of self expression.  I had a chance to extensively narrate my story of the journey to getting my bodysuit done. Tattoos actually opened up doors for me to meet many good people, people that have my complete respect and kept as friends in my heart. We discussed the different eras of tattoos, the tradition and modern tattoists, and the big names in the industry: Paul Braniff, Filip Leu, Ron Ackers, Mike Malone, Ed Hardy, Jack Rudy, Greg James, Freddy Corbin, Kari Barba… On another note, do yourself a favour, visit Little Tokyo in Sydney. Here, you will find the best tattoo studio in the world, and Rhys is the man - the only person that I have let tattoo myself and my family in the past 20 years. @littletokyo @rhysgordonwww.thetruthaboutaddiction.com.au
