Jack and Clay are street shop tattooers who work in walk-in shops that offer custom tattooing. You can get a sleeve or an infinity symbol and you will get the same treatment and level of attention and respect. Tattooing isn’t just one thing, it is an entire universe of different styles, opinions, beliefs, and ways of life. The growing popularity of tattooing has changed some aspects of it but the magic that attracted Jack and Clay nearly 30 years ago is still very much alive. “I Love Tattooing” seeks to preserve that magic and ensure it can continue for many generations to come.

Bonus Episode: TattooGate Commentary

A viral incident has the tattoo world buzzing! The TattooGate scandal is being discussed by tattooers and collectors alike. This controversy is a hot topic for a lot of people because it touches some emotional issues. The exploitation of the tattoo business, ripping off clients, understanding the value of your work, and ethics (or a lack of them) among many other things. Unsavory characters will always seek to take advantage of the gullible, but they can't function like that for a long time. They have to move on and find a new group of people to exploit. While this type of behavior may never be completely eliminated, if honest tattooers with integrity who genuinely care about the craft and clients who feel taken advantage of expose the unethical in the tattoo industry these instances will become less and less common.
