Urgent vs Important: The Tattooer's Struggle | Inside Fireside | EP 278

This is a sneak peak of what you can find in the Inside Fireside Tattoo Club. We've curated this particular conversation because we think it exemplifies one of the pillars of what the group is trying to achieve as a whole. Creating conversations and provoking discussions that help tattooers get out of their own head and into their careers to make progress. Groups like ours have started to appear more regularly as tattooing has grown year after year. It's clear that support, community, and education is much needed in order to keep tattooing moving forwards and evolving into a proper industry. We really hope that you enjoy this conversation and get as much out of it as the members who were a part of it. And if you're interested in learning more check out the links below.
