About this listen

In this episode of Under the Skin – The Tattoo Podcast, I catch up with tattoo artist Wenona (aka Nonah) — a former student, a fearless artist, and someone with some wildest tattoo stories to tell.


We talk about how she went from quitting a bakery job after just two weeks to rethinking her whole life and deciding to become a tattoo artist.


From there, her journey took her across the world: through the tattoo school in Berlin, a strict apprenticeship in the U.S. (where she had to clean floors before touching a machine), and even tattooing in Paris — where her first client showed up drunk, got a French rooster on his face, and lit a crack pipe right in the studio.


We also swap stories about weird, wild, and absolutely unhinged client experiences — including the time she tattooed an actual asshole.


If you’re into tattoos, travel, apprenticeship truths, and unfiltered stories from inside the studio — you’ll love this one.


— Ricardo
