About this listen

Seb talks with perhaps the best-known lettering tattooer in the scene about his path from pinstriping and sign painting into tattooing, about a proper old-school apprenticeship (with all the trimmings), and how his mentor’s advice — “then throw away your colors and just do lettering” — ultimately changed everything. They dig into originality (or why it doesn’t really exist), developing a style across continents, hunger and craft (“painting every morning”), years of conventions vs. focus, and the reality behind the “booked for years” myth. Meas also clarifies how to actually book him (spoiler: not via DM) and what still drives him after almost 20 years.
