so happy to be able to get a piece of their minds... makes everything better in this crazy fast paced world of tattooing. thank you to you both!
I appreciate what you are doing with this platform. these podcast are so refreshing, i have been contemplating retiring after 24 years, but after seeing this and some of the other interviews has me rethinking my decision to do so. chris has a very good perspective on whats going on out there. thanks man!
The same people that care more about the reaction and have no confidence in their tattoo decisions now, would have been the same ones 20 years ago, that wouldnt have touched tattooing with a ten foot pole, when tattooing wasnt a popularity contest. I wouldnt have been drawn to it nowadays for sure, collecting for almost 3 decades now (27 years)
Im really blown away by your train of thoughts Andrew! I hope your podcast will go on forever :-)
Why am I only just finding these podcast episodes now?! These are great man, so inspiring!
My favorite tattooer for many years. Love his work. Nice job.
Great job thanks for the hard work of putting this together. I started in the 90’s too so brings me back.
Loving the podcasts Andrew. You and Chris are real humble and down to earth guys. Cant wait for next weeks one.
Super interesting stuff. Amazing stories
Great thoughts on the internet/social media in tattooing, very well explained.
Chris is an absolute gent
dude im loving your podcasts
Thanks so much for watching!
Feels good to relate to this guy
Digging your Podcasts. Found you from the Ami episode. But your other episodes like this one are great
Amazing stuff dude, loving these podcasts. If you could get Bert Krak on here I'd lose my mind
Thanks for checking it out! Anything is possible 🔮🔮
I vote for a show with Mr. Krak as well. Loved the show with Freddy Corbin!
Thanks Aaron! 🙏
Got tattooed there a few weeks ago. Super inspiring experience.
Awesome. Chris is the best
Yeah man. We talked about a lot of the same things. I left feeling like there is still real tattooing going on and if I focus on that the buzz feed type shit rolls off my back. Great job on these. I lost track after the first Klaud Kloud video but I’m subscribed up now.
keep doing this podcast ! its cool!
Thanks for checking it out!
I hope Klaude Kloud can make a guest host appearance someday
You’ll know that’s when I’ve run out of people willing to talk to me 😂
I called it “tattoo city 90’s style’’ when I’ve got tattooed by eddy Deutsche I ask him to do a tiger tattoo ‘’tattoo city 90’s style’’ and he knew exactly what I wanted.
Please interview ‘---‘’Greg James’’-----
Thank you so much for this.
Thank YOU for watching 🙏
I can’t take my eyes off that dragon and tiger 😳 fuck. So good, thanks these pod casts are awesome
Thanks for watching! His studio is filled with amazing drawings and color studies like that. Very inspiring
Have you ever reached out to paul booth for one of these? I’m sure you get it all the time

Thanks for watching!
Great video I don’t know about the new hip thing handpoke its precious not!!!
Whatever happened to anil gupta? Im assuming thats who was mentioned about small painting tattoos.
Your guess is as good as mine
Andrew Stortz awesome podcast.
Those tattoos started to age.
Might have been a self-regulating style of tattoos
Anil is still tattooing in nyc
Andrew, I always love your content, but wish you produced more short stories/movies (ex: Blackout tattoos). Regardless, it seems obvious that you are doing/building what you love and I’ll be keeping my eyes out for your future uploads! Cheers brotha
Thanks for hanging in there with this channel. I’ve been enjoying doing these longer format interviews while I work on new ideas that are more like the older stuff. Don’t worry, I’m not done making those types of videos!
Andrew Stortz, right on and thanks man! I appreciate you taking the time to respond w/details!
Andrew Stortz, for the record, I do really enjoy the interview format too! All around dope
🙏🙏 thank you
what is Philip’s last name?!
Filip Leu
Huge fan of Chris but I kinda sense an old- timer, growth stunting mentality from him on this interview. I get that ink Masters and just shitty tv in general tends to ruin everything but the tattoo business is the biggest it's ever been. Why not just embrace it, you are one of the old Masters just enjoy it.
I think you’d have to be in his shoes to really understand the perspective.
I waited til I was 40- just for the record
Good luck ever getting hired anywhere :(
i thought Freddy was born with face tats
Okay this guy grew up amongst a bunch legends, being the outer kid trying to blend into at the same time that he was trying to do his own thing; so I find weird all the whining about the new generation doing the same, he doesn't look old enough to be that bitter about "nowadays", that whole act of you two saying "We're right they're not", "the good old days" is cringeworthy. I respect his craft, trajectory, history, achievements, all combined. I don't see the things as are presented here, that kills everything, it draws me off.
I agree, he's a legend but hearing him whine about the new 'comic book' style tattoos, which I personally would never get tattooed on me, but I can really appreciate the artwork and think it's cool tattoos are becoming more popular nowadays to the point people can get their personal interests tattooed on them. All of that made me cringe really hard like, that's the way things are these days, and I'm all here for it. Why complain about tattoos becoming more popular, you sound just salty that things are changing. Had to stop watching because I started feeling annoyed.
Get some dudes from Black Heart please!
The Podcast rules! Dude you need todo a video on dermal micropigmention or whatever idiots call hair tattoos. The supply companies are selling single or bugpin needles (ttech needles repackaged) for $10+ a piece! And a bottle of gray wash that can cost over a $1000 it’s mind bending. I just googled hair micro pigmentation supplier. It’s a total scam.
Lol Im here from when family guy roasted him. Is that bad
Different Chris O’Donnell. I doubt family guy is roasting tattooers on their show
no it was DEFINITELY this one
You’re right
Why people doing 💩things it’s all 🆎 a new trend and everyone no what’s to have it
Face tattoos ?!!! WTF #nevermainstream
