Jimmy Jam is back from allegedly starring in an action movie where he definitely did his own stunts and absolutely didn’t just hang around craft services. He and Sanae reunite after a brief separation (no, they’re not mad at each other) to react to the latest so-called "innovations" in tattooing—including people getting full pieces done under general anesthesia. It’s upsetting. They’re upset.
Also: listener questions, bad advice, and questionable mentorship wisdom for someone trying to land an apprenticeship.
So put on your emotional support hoodie, lie down on something sticky, and enjoy another chaotic session of the Tattoo Budcast. You might laugh, you might cringe, and you’ll probably wonder if anesthesia tattoos are a sign of the end times.

**Welcome back to another session of *Tattoo Budcast*!**
This week, our Honorary Bud **Goonie** is riding shotgun (seriously—has *anyone* seen Jimmy Jam?), helping Sanae wrangle our guest: the *Billy Zane of Hair* herself, alt-hairdresser **Karen Rivera**. (Btw, who was the real villain of Titanic?)
Karen’s booked *and* unbothered—she’s so booked, she doesn’t even take new clients anymore. She’s spilling the tea on how she built a ride-or-die roster and created a career on her own terms. Tattoo artists, take notes—some of these moves might just work for you too.
We’re also reacting to a viral video of a stylist dragging her client for not paying... and, uh, the Buds might be siding with violence on this one.
Plus: mistakes we’ve made in our respective crafts that keep us up at night, and client red flags you should *run* from.
It’s unhinged, it’s funny, it’s weirdly inspiring. You know the vibe. Buckle up.

Hey buds! We’re back for another session, and Jimmy Jam has *barely* survived his journey to a tattoo convention—turns out travel logistics aren't exactly his strong suit. This week, we spiral into the great beyond with a hot take on aliens: are they just misunderstood? Have Hollywood and the government given them a bad rap? Does Sanae have a reason to be scared ? Or is Jimmy Jam right that they’re just U.F.O.s [Unidentified Friendly Others] ?
We also unravel the spooky mystery of a whole town that allegedly vanished into thin air (yup, just *poof*). On the tattoo front, we dig into the “old school tattooer” persona—does it still hold up in today’s customer-service-driven tattoo scene? Or is it time to retire the grumpy gatekeeper vibe?
PLUS, we wrap it all up with a brand new segment: the *Buds Acting Challenge*. Because what's a session without a little dramatic flair and a whole lot of wheeze-laughing?

Today, the Tattoo Buds sit down with a true OG of the tattoo YouTube game—Wayne Fredrickson of the *Unite & Win Podcast*! Despite rolling in on a broken foot, Wayne proves he just can't sit still. From opening multiple shops to traveling the country in his van to tattoo on the road, launching a tattoo supply company, and running his own podcast and YouTube channel, he's got a [broken] foot in just about everything.
If you're a tattooer—or just someone struggling to stay motivated, or waiting for the "perfect time"—this episode is for you. Get ready for stories, laughs, and a much-needed kick in the ass to chase your own hustle!

The Tattoo Buds are back and flying solo—no guests, just chaos. Sanae spills on her star-studded weekend (celeb cameos included), while Jimmy Jam takes us deep into his first ever psychedelic trip. Spoiler: it involves life-altering insights, the Getty Museum, and your favorite lowbrow Buds talking highbrow art in the most undignified way possible.
We also pay our respects to tattoo legend Jack Rudy (RIP), react to @ryanroitattoo’s viral call-out on the toxic side of tattoo apprenticeships, and swap stories about the weirdest, wildest, and straight-up worst tattoo requests we’ve ever gotten—including the ones we flat-out refused.
It’s a wild ride. Come hang.

This week, the Tattoo Buds are hangin’ with none other than Chris de Armas—a 20-year tattoo wizard from Orange County who’s basically done it all. Award-winning tattooer? Check. World traveler? Check. Owner of American Vintage Tattoo, Electric Pagoda Printing, AND Bandit Laser Tattoo Removal? Triple check. He tattoos, he removes tattoos, he probably dreams in tattoos.
We chat about his insane experience tattooing in Nepal (spoiler: it’s not your average tattoo convention), get some pro tips for when you're on the road, and dive into the age-old question: how much should you actually tip your tattooer? And just when you think it’s safe to turn off the episode, Chris hits us with a downright pulse pounding story for our Tattoo Cover-Up segment
tattoos, laughs, and a little bit of fear—what more could you want?

This week, the Tattoo Buds are back with their honorary third Bud, Goonies, for another episode of tattoo talk, unfiltered rants, and completely unnecessary (but hilarious) poop stories. We’re airing our grievances about the latest crime against tattooing—the rise of “sip and ink” (aka “ink and drink”) events. Bad tattoos and booze? What could possibly go wrong? We also debate whether having a signature style as a tattoo artist is imperative or not. Plus, we revisit some long-lost tattoo trends, and show off our weirdest tattoos. Lastly we’re sharing the totally professional (or not) ways we prepare (or don’t) for our tattoo appointments.
If you love tattoos, wheeze-laughs, and oversharing, you’re in the right place!

HUNGRY IN WHITTIER (EP 19) ft. Steph Portugal I Tattoo Budcast w/ Sanae Garcia & Jimmy Jam
Buds, this one’s a **mouthful**—literally! 🍔🤣 Today, we’ve got **Steph Portugal** of *Hungry in Whittier* in the house! She’s a **tattoo collector, food blogger, pro photographer**, and—let’s be real—**one of Jimmy Jam’s longtime enablers [buds]**.
We’re talking how Steph turned a hobby into a 55k following on her @hungryinwhittier IG. We’re also getting in to ** tattoo regrets, and whether Pete Davidson’s blank-slate skin is a crime against art** (spoiler: it is). Oh, and did you know **Jimmy Jam was once on TV?** Steph’s exposing that too! 👀
If you’re a **foodie, Whittier local, striving Internet personality , or just a Bud**, hit play NOW. This episode’s got more laughs than Steph has Yelp reviews! 🎧🔥

This week, we've got a Bud in session! Jimmy Jam and Sanae are sitting down with Thea Warden, a well-respected 17-year veteran tattoo artist from Fullerton, California. Specializing in Neo-Traditional tattoos, Thea shares her unique tattoo journey and how she manages the pressures of her career. We dive deep into the responsibility an artist holds when verifying a tattoo design’s background—particularly when it comes to avoiding problematic influences. Plus, Thea and the Tattoo Buds show some of the very first tattoos they ever did, offering a fun and nostalgic look back at their early work. As always, we’re having a silly time. You won’t want to miss this one!

One of the best things about tattoo shops is you never know who’s going to walk through the door—and this week, it’s a therapist with a twist! Join the Tattoo Buds as they sit down with Pablo Hurtado, LMFT, a tattooed Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who’s got a lot to share about the intersection of psychology, relationships, and tattoos.
We’re kicking off Valentine's month by diving into the psychology of dating, relationships, and the complexities of human connection. Plus, Pablo answers some of your burning listener questions. Did you know your tattoos might reveal more about your psyche than you think? We’re spilling some surprising facts about how tattoos and mental health intertwine.
While the topic might get a little heavy, you can always count on the Tattoo Buds to keep it light with plenty of laughs along the way. Tune in for an enlightening session.
