No Shortcuts in Tattooing: A Real Talk on Apprenticeships
In this solo episode, Ricardo dives into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of becoming a tattoo artist: the apprenticeship.

He reflects on his own early days learning to tattoo on coil machines, soldering needles, and growing through struggle and repetition. From the old-school mentality to the rise of fast-track courses and certificate scams, Ricardo explores how tattoo education is shifting — and why it’s time we talk seriously about what actually works.

Whether you’re learning, mentoring, or somewhere in between, this episode is a call for responsibility, integrity, and respect for the craft.
