From the West Coast lines to the heart of Texas, tattoo culture completely shifts depending on your zip code! ✈️🌵

In this Convention Connection episode, the super talented Yher breaks down the regional differences she notices in the craft. She compares the signature style of LA—where it’s all about ultra-smooth black-and-grey and delicate fineline work—versus the scene in Texas, which stays heavily rooted in bold, classic American Traditional roots. 🎨🦅

It’s such a cool look at how geography shapes local tastes and keeps the tattoo world so diverse!

Talk about a serious throwback to how things used to be done! 📚🐟

In this clip, Chico takes us down memory lane to look at how Tattoo Artists had to create stencils back in the day. Before Pinterest, Google Images, or iPads even existed, if a client wanted a koi fish tattoo, you couldn’t just look it up on your phone. You actually had to walk to the local library, search through books to find the perfect image, print or photocopy it, and then manually draw and build your stencil from scratch! 🤯🖋️

It’s an amazing reminder of the research, dedication, and pure hustle that went into creating art before the digital age took over.
