Gabe at 31:05 🤦🏽♀️.
“There’s no way you’re going to get that much growth in 3 months”.
Matt: I don’t know about that
Gabe: If your mentor isn’t showing up.
Matt: Yes but if they were you would
Gabe: But that’s not what I was commenting on.
THAT’S LITERALLY, EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE COMMENTING ON 🤣
Typical Gabe moment, hating but not saying anything at the same time LOL
Re: The all female shops.
They serve a purpose. They cater to clients that are seeking these places out. There is a not insignificant number of people out there who will pay for this experience. They are popping up all over the place and they are making money.
Some women treat it as a spa day, no husbands/boyfriends, no kids, no doods hitting on them. Just a day to themselves around women, relaxing, spending money.
Some women who have been through SA events want a male free space to get tattoos. They have money to spend.
Rainbow mafia folx spend tons of money on body mods. Trans people spend buckets of money on mods. Why not provide them a safe space to spend their money?
Safe space / women only shops is just good marketing.
an all male shop has a purpose too. they cater to clients who need a space away from all those women with bad attitudes and cause drama. those men see it as a relaxing day. some men have been bitched out and want a female free space.
they have money to spend. dudes, bros, and straight guys spend loads of money. why not give them a safe space to do it?
It bad because it excludes specific people and opens the door to excluding other certain groups.
Marketing wise though, genius.
Dude looks like a lady
@@ChiefKnocka good those same people are already excluding people or treating them like crap. Safe places wouldn't exist if the place that exist was safe
@@ChiefKnocka "It's bad because it excludes specific people waaahhhh"
Never heard of women only gyms?
Women's only clubs? Women's only taxi's?
Women's only schools? Women's only hospitals! Yes! Whole entire hospitals.
Gee, I wonder why there would be a need for all these women's only spaces...
Must be marketing only right, Chief?
"bro you should go find a real apprenticeship", like paid apprenticeship scams arent super common in the industry, lol. I think blaming the victim is super interesting when in the community its common for "deposits", sure you might think 50% upfront is a lot but the rhetoric in tattooing is about "investing in your craft" so I can see how someone with a large rep and is looked up to in the community would be seen as "trustworthy" its not like they were a tweaker at the biker shop down the road. I guess I shouldnt be surprised coming from doomer Gabe tho, he always has the most criticism to dish out without much construction.
What episode were you watching? they didn't blame the victim
Another great episode everyone!
Thanks so much!
Gabe was hiiiiiigh😂😂😂 hope it doesn't start any drama, cause your podcast is above that. But hey if the name is easy to find.... then better warn people... take care guys!
36:00 Art of Reese, yep. She’s always preaching about how much money she makes and then she can travel, etc spend time with her dog, have crazy business growth, attracting “soul clients”, I remember being shocked seeing her apprenticeship program for $7000. And yeah all the crazy expensive courses for tattoo business coaching, the retreats now - I hope no one’s falling for it. Stop giving scammers your moneyyyy
Too many people ARE falling for it.
with a clean shave and only a mustache, john looking like an owner of a white van with no windows lmao
Love Jon, but, is there any episode where he doesn’t use the phrase, At the end of the day ? 😂. It’s coo. I’m still watching. 🤣💖🤷♀️
haha
Jon looks 10 years older with that stash😅
haha then hopefully I look my age now
I’ve been waiting for the day where Gabe’s recommendation is “pencil and paper”
If you all do a “Rage-out Retreat” for tattooers where we get to let out everything that annoyed you about the industry… take my money! I’ll pay to listen to Gabe go off 😂
We go Kayaking every year, its our rage out :)
