Walking into a traditional tattoo shop has its own charm, but it can definitely feel like a trial by fire for some 😅 We love and respect the classic street shops, but finding that welcoming middle ground is a whole different vibe.

Ali from @rustandemberink and Nicole from @allyoukneadbreadandco joined us in the studio to talk shop culture, the old-school vibe, and why Ali built a space where anyone can walk in, feel completely comfortable, and leave with bold work.

Be honest: what was your very first tattoo experience like? Easygoing or wild? Drop it below 👇

There's a good middle but it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for those super traditional shops and those bougie studios. Enjoy your place in tattooing and do your job well, pave the path for yourself that you want to go on 💪
