Episode 314 – Neo Organic Water Colors

Standard

We start the week with a discussion of local news, featuring Bryan Brandenburg, co-founder of FanX, being arrested. This leads us to a bit of discussion on the convention itself and how we all feel about it several years in.

But that conversation gives way to our guest of the week. Patrick Cat of Patrick Cat Tattoo. He is an incredibly tattoo artist, based right here out of Utah. He brings and amazing amount of color and unique imagery to his tattoos. You can find him at Misery and Co. Tattoo Collective, but you have to message him first as he doesn’t do walk ins.

Patrick was born in New York City to parents from near the Mexico City area. We got to talk a lot to Patrick about his influences, and how moving back and forth from Mexico City to the United States during his early years impacted his education and life. It’s a fairly unique and very interesting story.

When it was time for college, a hard decision had to be made; Go to school in New York or stay in Mexico and pursue his artwork that he loved. He decided to stay in Mexico, where he started to tattoo to support his other art work. After gaining experience in Mexico, he tattoo’d in parts of the US and even moved to France for 2 years to tattoo.

Now he calls Salt Lake City his home, with his lovely wife, who he met in Mexico, and has a thriving tattoo business. He does guest spots around the world, and its no wonder based on the amazing artwork. We spend a lot of time talking about his style, and how he makes Neo Organic Watercolor come to life on human skin.

He gives all his customers their own artwork, sculpture or otherwise, that is the inspiration for the final tattoo. His consultations are selective, and he won’t do tattoos he doesn’t think will work or look good. And he charges by the project, not by the hour. We really loved our chat with Patrick, and hope you enjoy it as well.

Episode 262 – Coochie Bags

Standard

This week’s write-up is by yours truly (aka Julia).  We open up the episode by talking about pride month and announcing that the farmer’s markets start this weekend.  Jeremy recounts his law chair building experience and reads us the poorly translated instruction manual from Harbor Freight. Julia has some embarrassing stories from her trip to Vegas- where she was not, in fact, celebrating her birthday.

We were met this week by Ogden’s Legacy Tattoo artist Sarah Arave.  Sarah is a born-and-raised Utahn from the little city of Eden.  Sarah used to take the bus to the nearest school every day, and it was 45 minutes each way.

Sarah began to disfigure people at the ripe age of 16 when her parents let her buy a stick and poke kit from Amazon.  Some of her first tattoos were on her siblings (and she has to look at them for the rest of her life).

Sarah is about to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from Weber State University, and plans to continue her tattoo career until retirement.  We discuss the possibility of Chris getting a crucified space Jesus tattooed across his chest (Jeremy insists his nipples need to be the nails on the cross).  Sarah also goes into detail about ween tattoos and how they are applied in the underground tunnels of 25th street.
