It's becoming a cliche on this podcast; superstar abilities, good human. This episode is no different. Terry Ribera of Remington Tattoo in San Diego is obsessed with creating exceptional art and tattoos but he is also down to earth. Listen as he relates his experiences and typical tattoo artist fears about "it's all gonna dry up" and " people are gonna stop booking". Sometimes that irrational fear is great motivation.
