S2E42, Part 2: Taler Nicols on Her Tattooing Career

Taler Nicols wanted to paint. In this podcast, Taler begins by rattling off bars and restaurants in San Francisco that she used to frequent. She then talks of leaving a job she'd been at for a decade to help open Let It Bleed Tattoo in the Tenderloin in 2009. She ends the episode reflecting on the changes in the city over the last decade, as well as some signs of hope she's seeing now. If you missed Part 1, please go back and listen. We recorded this podcast at Vesuvio Cafe in August 2019. Film photography by Michelle Kilfeather
