Ink, Chokes, and Sewer Rats: Wade’s Journey from Tattooing to Jiu-Jitsu

What happens when you walk into a tattoo shop for a consultation but end up recruiting your artist to jiu-jitsu instead? In this episode, we sit down with Wade—aka Sewer Rat—to talk about his journey from ink to the mats. We dive into his first rolls, how training has changed his perspective as a dad, and whether tattooing and jiu-jitsu require the same level of patience and precision. And of course, we finally get the full story behind that nickname. Grab a seat and get ready for some laughs, some insight, and maybe even a new tattoo idea or two. Welcome to Chokeholds and Chill!
