4:00
Alex is trying to incriminate himself on the podcast.
4:03
He's like, who the fuck cares if line so it doesn't matter.
4:09
Yeah, that's why you should be yeah.
4:14
So how long have you been tattooing for?
4:16
You are an up-and-coming. Yeah, cuz you're how old are you
4:18
20? Only 20 years old?
4:20
Yeah, 21 in May. I've been tattooing a little
4:26
over two years. Yeah, my two year was in
4:29
October, so Very good grass. So you started tattooing two
4:35
years ago, correct? Yeah.
4:36
And 2020 of October 2012, October?
4:39
What was your reason to start tattooing?
4:42
So I was Drew. And then my mom always liked was
4:49
saying that you're going to be tatted up and all that and I
4:51
didn't like tattoos. So I was like, never.
4:54
That's funny. Like, Mom now has swept leave
5:00
when I turn like Like around 1415, my Instagram and social
5:05
media is were just tattoos all the time.
5:08
Also, when I was a kid, my mom was friends with a lot of
5:12
artists, people who knew tattoo artists or people who drew a lot
5:15
and said I should tattoo, so that kind of gets those kind of
5:19
these influence throughout my whole life and then when I just
5:24
started looking up, artists has on Instagram.
5:27
And I texted, like, maybe like 100 artists throughout the whole
5:32
state. Yeah.
5:34
And a few replied but only one actually like, actually, I gave
5:37
me like advice everyone else said, just wait, wait until
5:40
you're 18, don't worry about it. Wait till you're older and then
5:43
you can worry about that. Denzel was the only one that
5:47
actually gave me advice on how to get started.
5:49
I love, didn't tell her. I love her.
5:51
She could tattoo so yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:54
So what was his advice? Do you remember draw a lot?
5:58
Make sure you're getting a good portfolio.
6:00
D stuff like that. Everyone else was just calling
6:03
wait until like you're 30 and then you can, then you can
6:06
tattoo, you know? Because I guess everyone starts
6:08
you know to be and midlife crisis.
6:10
Yeah, I mean he could start at any age.
6:13
Who cares. Yeah.
6:13
You know, if this is your future, you want to do what you
6:16
want to do at your time. If you want to do at 14th
6:18
bucket, do I have 14. If you have the fucking Talent,
6:21
if you have the mindset to do it, fucking do it.
6:24
Yeah, you know, Kansas is a really traditional states.
6:27
That is true. That is true.
6:29
Yes. So, That's when.
6:32
Did you start tattooing? What age was that 1818?
6:34
Yeah. It does.
6:36
I turned 18. That mace 18 and a half kind of
6:39
man. Yeah.
6:41
School and got out of covid. All the shops closed down so
6:44
just kind of way, are you okay, so you graduated in 2020.
6:48
Yeah, I graduated because the covid.
6:50
Okay I feel all its fuck. Do you mean like like we were on
6:53
Spring like that spring break? That's when like covid reached
6:57
the US and got really bad and they close down all the schools
7:00
and public. So they just froze our grades
7:02
and went online and I was barely passing, so I was like, Ugh, I'm
7:05
not going to do online so I just started just working.
7:09
Okay, so when school shut down in March, you are gearing up for
7:13
your graduation and you just yes, I was 17.
7:15
So I was just working and then once I turned 18, I was supposed
7:20
to go get my portfolio already, but all the shots were closed
7:24
down for that whole like three, four months.
7:27
Yeah, during that time. And then they opened up back up
7:30
and like June July. And then I got my second tattoo
7:35
from Sergio and then he was kind of like saying, get a portfolio
7:38
ready that type of stuff and telling me what I should do.
7:42
Yeah to get an apprenticeship. So yeah, damn and that propelled
7:45
you then it's because you had like how many you had a lot of
7:48
jobs at that time, right? Like around for, I was working
7:52
in the mornings. So when I turn when I was 17, I
7:55
was working at McAllister's and maybe like barely working there,
8:00
because Would do only. They only did like three to four
8:04
people. Yeah, time.
8:06
But once that was over, I was working there.
8:08
McCallister's, once I turned 18, I moved out with my friend and I
8:13
was working for jobs. I was working in the morning at
8:15
a landscaping place. Kind of like under the table
8:18
type stuff when I got my second tattoo from Sergio Sean the
8:25
owner was looking for a cleaner. Someone to help just clean up
8:28
the station's. Once the artist is were done
8:30
because they didn't have time, I'm to do it.
8:31
Yeah so I asked if I could be in it he's like I'll let you know
8:36
in a week I came back the very next day and said I want the
8:39
job. So yeah kind of made him give me
8:40
the job. Electric charge is cleaning up
8:55
and then I was working at McAllister's and then I got my
9:00
apprenticeship sometime around September and I was working that
9:06
at the later. Evenings, once I was done with
9:08
all the other three places, and then once I was hard to take him
9:13
on like actual clientele and not just my friends and stuff like
9:16
that, I quit slowly could quit all the job.
9:19
So I quit McAllister's first I told him, I was like, can I just
9:22
work on the Ends then after one week and I was like, can I work
9:25
once a month? Yeah.
9:27
Then they never put me on the schedule and I walked in just
9:29
put my two weeks notice, which I don't really need to do but
9:33
yeah. And then so that one off the
9:34
table and then I quit the landscaping place and then I
9:40
told Shawn I was leaving, so I was gonna do tattooing full-time
9:44
in that started up in October. So wow, like you were after it.
9:48
So like I'm just kind of curious if you could because you're 18
9:53
like Want to gloss over the fact that you are the youngest tattoo
9:56
artists in the state of Kansas right now.
9:58
Yeah, you really are. You're also the youngest to get
10:03
licensed in the state of Kansas and like I am.
10:06
And you've been now tattooing for two years.
10:09
You're already tattooing next, which is like a really tough
10:12
place. Your, and then, like, your, your
10:15
tattoo skills are just incredible.
10:18
And I don't want to like gloss over any of that, to be honest,
10:21
like Maize a lot about you did a Out of 18 year olds don't even
10:24
like you know, dude that you know, because they still they go
10:26
to college, you know, they didn't figure out what they do,
10:29
still don't know what they want to do, you know, at 18.
10:31
But Alex you I mean not even just say 18 year olds.
10:34
I mean as I mean us you look at us because we're old but like
10:39
you don't always you don't guys you guys he coughing oh
10:46
whatever. So happy I'm so younger than
10:51
Emily and Dusty so I don't care. The old 25 is old.
10:59
Don't laugh at me because you're all to you.
11:02
I know I'm oh, but you can't accept that because I'm gonna
11:06
shut up bitch. No, what I wanted to say about
11:09
that though, was that 18 or whatever age?
11:13
Like, you don't always know what you're ready for or like you're
11:17
even afraid to take that leap. So that you are just like, I'm
11:20
taking the leap enough Opportunity Knocks.
11:23
I'm going to take the opportunity or I'm going to
11:25
start building it and so I wanted you to kind of like share
11:28
a little bit about how what made you set your mind on.
11:33
Like, I'm doing this. And I'm going to make it happens
11:35
that. So I kind of grew up with like,
11:38
you know, people not knowing what they want to do, or, you
11:41
know, not being able to do to do what they love and everything.
11:44
I know I didn't want to be 50 years, old working, you know,
11:47
just a job. Just to work, you know, pay
11:49
bills and stuff. Yeah.
11:51
So I kind of always And we kind of grew up, you know, like
11:54
strict on budgets and stuff like that.
11:56
And then I was very fortunate, you know, to be able to do, you
12:01
know, when I was a kid just draw and, you know, find out what I
12:04
love early on and I want to, you know, be able to do what I love
12:10
my whole life. So, and I was basically art and
12:13
then I, I knew I was young, I had time on my hands, so I
12:18
didn't want to, you know, wait till I was, you know, 30 have,
12:21
you know, have a house and kids, and And wife and all that whole
12:24
like, you know, life already in hand before I actually started
12:27
chasing a dream. So I just kind of wanted to
12:31
chase a dream beforehand and yeah, just go for it.
12:34
Good for you. Yeah.
12:37
That's, you know cuz like I 18 I didn't really think of all that
12:42
too as well because I was like, okay, well I'm just gonna go
12:46
after high school. I go to college and just figure
12:49
out what I want to do from there, you know.
12:50
But you yeah, you figure out what you wanted, you know.
12:53
Yeah, my teachers were trying to give me to go to college.
12:56
Like they're like some of them filling out forms for me to do
13:00
like, college scholarships. I got a few but I college,
13:03
wasn't, I knew colleges wasn't really going to go anywhere so
13:06
yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever I wanted to do.
13:09
You could teach yourself from a mentor and colleges just.
13:12
Yeah to me is well you know you knew that you were yeah well
13:17
like you knew that you wanted a career in art and honestly
13:22
getting a college degree. Agree to get a career in art is
13:24
just to your point just that collection.
13:27
It's not something that the best way to start to prosper in.
13:32
Anything are related in Northfield this together, that
13:34
work, the only thing college is really good for is like stem
13:37
classes. You know, stuff that you
13:40
actually need to learn and stuff.
13:42
So yeah. So you were like again, you're
13:45
18. So at that time I'm imagining
13:48
and to your point you had a lot of your teachers who are like
13:51
I'm going to fill out scholarship.
13:53
Since were you and I for college.
13:55
So you had a lot of naysayers to yeah, a couple teachers like
14:00
tell me like you're not going to make it in tattooing because you
14:02
don't go to college. You know, you got to study
14:04
anatomy and you know the body and all that, you got to go to
14:08
college for that. Mmm, I studied Anatomy on a free
14:11
college book online. Like I will take your advice.
14:17
That's what I don't think. I need to spend more than five
14:21
thousand dollars yours. They put a body of Nana Me PDF
14:26
free. There's there's free Harvard
14:28
classes online. Yeah there.
14:30
Yeah, there is. Yeah free.
14:34
So basically everything you did was just self-taught.
14:37
Yeah, very unorthodox apprenticeship.
14:41
So I basically I basically started and they just kind of
14:45
forced me to take on clientele, you know I was kind of like for
14:49
so when you started in June right I started in October
14:52
October so Being sorry for the first two weeks, I was just
14:56
tattooing friends because that's just, you know, that's what I
14:59
wanted to do and then they're like you got to take on
15:02
clientele. You got to take on clientele.
15:04
So I was kind of peer pressure and taking clientele when I
15:06
wasn't like ready at all. Ya got thrown in there.
15:09
Just ya go just do it. Yeah.
15:12
And I and like I remember doing it and I was just like, so
15:15
nervous. I was shaking and everything.
15:17
Yeah. And I told everyone I was an
15:18
apprentice you know show them like the work I've done on
15:21
friends and stuff like that. So I would only Take on like,
15:23
simple work, like just lines in and black packing in black, and
15:27
I was really it. And then, since I was young, I
15:31
guess I kind of got a lot of young clientele is also and a
15:34
lot of like modern tattoos stuff.
15:36
So like fine line stuff. Oh, yeah.
15:38
So I'm doing a lot of like, flying spot.
15:40
Yeah. I was doing a lot of like, fine
15:42
line script, so I got really good at that.
15:45
And yeah. So, which house is difficult
15:48
though? Like, how was your ass over
15:50
that? Yeah.
15:51
How was your first tattoo on? Person.
15:53
How did you feel when you first touch skin?
15:56
Like, oh, so like like, like not your friends but just like a
15:59
random person like so it was really weird.
16:02
It was his 21st birthday and he just got done drinking.
16:08
He got the tattoo. He's gonna go drinking again
16:11
that night. Yeah.
16:12
And still remember to shout out to you, terrans for giving it to
16:15
me again, but yeah. I was like really nervous and I
16:26
was like, before I actually tattooed I'm setting up like
16:32
took like 30 minutes and everything.
16:34
Yeah, I kept on asking everyone if I should do this or not and
16:37
then I was placing the stencil on.
16:40
I was like okay I can, you know, just Bri.
16:42
What was? What was the?
16:44
It was just a cross. Okay, this is for Life.
16:50
Yeah, we on it, everyone. Sorry and everyone who does
16:54
Harry know did live here. So it was yeah, you're just here
16:57
for family and friends. Oh for his birthday.
17:00
So I was even more nerve-racking because you know if I fucked up
17:03
and fuck it someone else in the world is seeing that.
17:06
Yeah. But I think it came out good.
17:08
He bled a lot and yeah I just stabbed you Appliance but you're
17:14
fine. Yeah, he still follows me so I
17:18
feel like that's a good thing. Yes.
17:19
Yes. He ever came back to you for
17:21
another tattoo? No.
17:22
I I'm pretty sure we were talking and, you know, I think
17:25
he had like just a week and he was staying for the bird for his
17:27
birthday and oh yeah got ya. Did he know that you were his
17:32
first ever client? Yeah, I told him multiple times
17:36
so if you is if it's hurting that's okay yeah and I had a
17:41
really like scuffed up machine. I didn't have enough at the time
17:44
I didn't have enough money like by you know, like the very
17:47
expensive machines. Yeah.
17:48
So I was just using it like a machine that one of the other
17:52
artists gave me I didn't know how to work.
17:54
I didn't know anything about machines, you know.
17:55
Yeah, one told me anything about a Strokes.
17:58
Anything like that. Yeah, so that so I was just kind
18:01
of going what I saw the other artists do and just then the
18:05
feeling, you know, like how to feel and everything with the
18:08
skin and machine just came. I guess a couple months later
18:11
once I actually, you know, learned everything about it.
18:14
Yeah. So you're saying, so you
18:16
mentioned earlier, you had a pretty unorthodox
18:19
apprenticeship, right? So like and right now, you're
18:22
kind of mentioning a A couple of things that you were kind of
18:24
learning as you went. Yeah.
18:25
So my trainer, he was only there for my very first tattoo, like
18:30
the one I did on my friend, like, he, you know, looked over
18:32
it and, you know, told me, what did not to do, and what to do.
18:35
And then after that, rarely ever saw him again.
18:38
So, and when he did come into the shop, you never really talk
18:42
to me, or looked at my, you know, station.
18:44
So everything I learned is basically from, like, seminars
18:48
and YouTube videos and watching the like other artists has And
18:53
then if I write a question or anything, I just call or text
18:56
Denzel and he would get right back with me like an actually
18:59
like detailed explanation. Oh wow.
19:01
That's awesome. So, I just kind of took his
19:03
stuff and then when I was working at electric chair I
19:08
would ask questions. You know, and Pete some people,
19:11
some of them would answer, some of them are not, you know,
19:13
because I was an apprentice at the time.
19:15
So yeah, the people, the people who would answer and answer my
19:18
questions, you know, and let me watch them, I'd basically pick
19:21
up on their stuff and To put that into mind.
19:24
So yeah, you have. So when you are practicing your
19:28
like, okay, for sure, not going to leave electric chair job
19:31
because at least like, well I'm cleaning.
19:33
I can go and ask some questions. Yes.
19:35
Yeah. So I didn't leave the electric
19:36
chair job until I actually started tattooing like outside
19:39
clientele outside of my friends. So, once once I did my second
19:43
tattoo and you know, no one was looking after me, I was like,
19:46
yeah, I gotta you know just can't figure out how to do this,
19:50
that is crazy. How long did you do that for
19:56
the? Well because I know that like or
19:59
how long was your apprenticeship unquote apprenticeship for you
20:03
really like a year year and a half I'd say year and a half and
20:09
then I just moved out to high power.
20:12
So that's when I year and a half was after it I took my test but
20:16
really I finished I was able to do everything within a year.
20:19
Yeah. Some but my trainer took a long.
20:22
It took a Long time and you know, procrastinated every
20:26
little thing. So yeah, but now that you're a
20:30
so you after being at that previous shop, getting your
20:34
apprenticeship that you then kind of you, you finish off the
20:37
apprenticeship tied, a bow on it and went off to high power,
20:39
right? So before I hit my one year mark
20:43
Denzel just opened up high power and heels and he asked me if I
20:46
wanted to work with them. Yeah.
20:48
I was like yeah definitely and I'll be there within you next
20:51
couple months. And at that point I was Two
20:53
months. Yeah, and then two months turned
20:55
into eight so but yeah, the second I passed my test.
21:01
I basically told everyone I was quitting and paid my booth rent
21:05
and then I just left. Mmm.
21:07
Yeah, good for you dance. You, you literally inspired me.
21:13
I'm like man I get told my fifteen-year-old look, look at
21:16
this 18 year old. Could you go ahead and just
21:18
figure out like if you're 18 years this is it I'm sorry can't
21:21
even talk right now. Be drunk.
21:25
If this 18 year, old knows what he wants to do.
21:28
Then you could do it as well. For being somebody who's the
21:30
youngest tattoo artist in Kansas?
21:33
Well, I think that that's a really good thing that you're
21:36
bringing up because, you know, Alex hit on something early on
21:39
was that like, he got to explore things that he was passionate
21:43
exactly to help him. Realize, where do I want to do
21:46
laters? And in a lot of, a lot of
21:49
students, a lot of people that age, they don't get to
21:51
experience all that they do. So you could Usher a
21:53
fifteen-year-old to say, figure out what you're going to do by
21:56
18. But not yeah, giving them
21:58
opportunities. Like a lot of things from like
22:00
movie, I watch a lot of movies and TV shows and one of the
22:03
like, one of the like, the most powerful things was like, from
22:07
Sister Act 2. She was like, if you wake up
22:12
wanting to sing, then you're supposed to be a singer.
22:14
If you wake up, wanting the right then you're supposed to be
22:17
a writer and I was just calling that just kind of stuck with me,
22:20
you know, I wanted to draw and do art and I'm supposed to be an
22:23
artist, so yeah, that's awesome. So like tattoo already Artistry
22:29
was something that kind of got you in there, but you also, I
22:31
mean, you consider, it sounds to me.
22:34
Like you consider yourself an artist first.
22:35
Before you do a tattoo artist, I wanted to do architecture.
22:39
I was like what I wanted to do, and then I just kind of figured
22:42
drawing whole bunch of buildings was really boring a whole lot of
22:46
math and geometry. So I started looking at more
22:51
like more And then that's when the whole social media thing
22:55
kicked in, were just a whole bunch of tattoos started showing
22:57
up. Yeah, and that's comic
22:59
influenced me a lot. So social media is a really
23:02
powerful story to it, as well. Yeah.
23:07
So, so what do you think that, like, you'll stay in the tattoo
23:10
industry for a while. So my plan is to, at least do it
23:15
for another 10 to 20 years, but as like a good income.
23:20
But I also want to make it just a side hustle because You know
23:23
when I'm 40 I'm sure my hands are going to be you know trash
23:28
you have carpal tunnel. Yeah I kind of want to make it
23:33
as a side Hustle song getting into like real estate and stuff
23:36
like that, real estate Investments trading all that
23:39
type of stuff just making sure that you know if something ever
23:43
does happen to mind you know like my hands or anything then I
23:46
haven't you know another source of income.
23:49
Yes real estate. Is a really good back up and
23:51
come to us. Well Cuz I'm in real estate.
23:53
It's well, it's, you know, it's it's very, you know, it you had
24:00
to put, if you want to make money you have to put your
24:03
people say, like, oh really say, will make me a lot of money if
24:06
you want to make a lot of money, you have to put a lot of money.
24:09
A lot of money into it literally like a lot, but if you're if you
24:16
put your like you're 100% on it like if you want to sell this
24:19
house to someone, then you can, you know, but it's basically how
24:23
How that person when someone wants to buy a house from you,
24:25
they want to feel comfortable and they feel that you will take
24:28
care of them what they want. Yes, because they're not, they
24:31
just they don't want you just like yeah here.
24:33
Hey look at this house you know, because you need a realtor to
24:35
look at a house you know you can't just walk up at there and
24:37
without just not just looking at it you know?
24:39
Yes. So I bought my house and then I
24:43
was wait wait, how old are you when you bought a house in
24:45
nineteen shit, look at you. So So I was living on my own
24:56
when I was 18 and then I turned 19, I was still living on my own
25:00
and halfway through like 18. I, you know, had a kid aren't
25:06

25:09
How you got someone pregnant? Yeah.
25:11
And you did the thing. Yeah, you did.
25:13
The thing, the pullout method am gonna be do, and then, and I was
25:21
just living in an apartment. You know, from the landscapers,
25:24
I used to, I used to work at a landscaping for an apartment
25:27
complex and I just texted them together place open and I got in
25:32

25:35
that. People, people who help
25:37
themselves living like a six, hundred dollar apartment like
25:40

25:43
So but once I turned 19 I was like, damn I can't really have a

25:53
When we crying a lot. So I was looking at a house and
25:55

25:58
So I was like, I'll rent one out to you and then after a year we
26:00
can see if you want to buy or not rent to own.
26:04
Yeah. And then after two months of
26:06
renting for him, he was like you just want to buy it now.
26:09
She's like I don't want it. It was at the time when the
26:12

27:31
Stay wow. Yeah, every girl who ever
27:34

27:40
What I mean, I think like that. Yeah.
27:45
You know, speaking on that part like you really are just like a
27:48
go-getter. Alex.
27:49
You literally are like you. We look at stops you.
27:52
We look 22 2020. I mean, and there was a lot of
27:56
things that were really tough that year for a lot of people.
27:59
Yeah. You know, things were hitting
28:01
hard, you were getting ready to almost graduate.
28:05
You're trying to figure things out where to go next and you're
28:07
like, this is my opportunity. Well, things are closing.
28:10
I have time things were cheap back.
28:12
Then, you know, gas was like 180.
28:15
I just got into it when I was 16, I broke both my wrists.
28:19
So I want a lawsuit against the school and yeah.
28:22
So How'd you break your wrist, dude.
28:24
How lucky are you thinking can you go by?
28:27
Would you? I don't know if I would consider
28:29
breaking your wrist. Okay, not lucky, but you won,
28:32
but like, go pick my lottery ticket numbers.
28:36
So, when I was 16 in there, we had a construction at school.
28:38
I went to East High and they had really bad scaffolding.
28:42
We used to the teacher, he had his own business, where he built
28:47
houses or sheds for cut, his customers, and he'd have his
28:50
students build them. That's how we learn, how to
28:52
build. Things.
28:54
But for this one, we were building concession stand for
28:56
the football field and we're working on the roof in the
28:59
scaffolding was wooden and rotten and all that.
29:01
There's like, two new metal ones, but they're on the other
29:04
side. I saw, I was using the wood and
29:05
rotten one and I stepped on a board and it broke through and I
29:09
fell and landed both my on, both my wrists on concrete.
29:15
You know, I I thought they were spraying didn't feel broken.
29:18
I thought their sprained and I went inside, we had like 10
29:22
minutes before. Class ended.
29:23
I went to pick up my phone. I couldn't do that.
29:25
So I went to the doctor. He told me was broken and we
29:29
tried talking to the school. They didn't want to talk to me.
29:31
Oh yeah. So we decided, you know, to sue
29:34
them and all that and my liver was kind of my order was kind of
29:38
as he took their first offer and then I didn't make them pay
29:41
anything for. So I had to pay a lawyer fees
29:44
and medical fees, but oh he was gorgeous.
29:47
But so I got so he settled for Teen?
29:53
Because they deleted the footage of me fall.
29:55
Yeah. So that was like shit.
29:57
Yeah. So they did, you know, did a
29:59
whole bunch of sketchy and shady shit.
30:01
Oh, that's fucked up 15,000. And then after, you know,
30:04
medical bills and lawyer fees, I was ended with eight and a half
30:08
and I was put into a CD Council. Once I turned 18, I got that.
30:12
And I was like, okay, this is the start of my apprenticeship
30:14
money, you know, this is what I use because it, you know,
30:16
everyone's telling me 10 to 10 5 to 10K.
30:19
Yeah. Luckily mine was 10 by talk to
30:22
He wanted five up front, I talked him down to 35 at first
30:26
and then so I had all the other, the rest of the money you spend
30:29
on, you know, supplies and everything.
30:32
So when covid hit everything was very cheap.
30:34
So I just knew that, you know, you're like this is my
30:36
opportunity to. Yeah, I'm buying it now and
30:39
usually, you know, it's like, you know, trading and stocks,
30:42
you know, once things hit a really big low, just going to
30:44
have it really time high. So yeah we big high so damn.
30:49
So right now two years later you're getting all that high it
30:52
like The return is coming if everything's a level out now.
30:55
But yeah. Well yeah.
30:57
But like what I mean is in your skill sets and in like now that
31:02
you're in a shop where you're growing a lot more, we're now,
31:05
like aren't your pretty booked out pretty young, but I just
31:08
finished up booking up March. So, I'm looking for April at the
31:12
moment. Dad, that's incredible.
31:16
That is very incredible. Yes, that was shit.
31:20
So because you broke both of Of your wrist.
31:23
Does it hurt to try? Are you good?
31:25
No, it used to. So I used to play a lot of piano
31:29
and where my wrist broke, it broke.
31:32
I can't extend my fingers out a lot.
31:34
So, you know, holding a machine holding my fingers close
31:37
together. It doesn't hurt as bad.
31:39
Usually, my left hand where I'm holding like my paper towel and
31:41
stretching the skin a lot. It'll still like like lockup,
31:46
but that's very rarely happens. Now since I just, you know, I
31:49
work a lot on my wrist and make sure I'm taking care of good.
31:52
Are them. So yeah, nothing really hurts
31:55
them anymore so that's good. That's good.
31:57
I used to but yeah, now you're like what the stress Falls
32:00
constantly trying to squish them.
32:02
Not really any more ice. I started working out and doing
32:06
a lot of risks workouts and just strengthening them.
32:09
So God helps a lot. Yeah.
32:13
What's that one workout? We're like What is it called?
32:15
Start to the Sea. Oh my God.
32:22
It's like, it's like where you oh God?
32:26
Yes. Yeah.
32:28
Are you okay? Just more weight lifting type
32:32
stuff? Okay, but you're talking about
32:33
like you stretch out your wrist, more, that sort of thing before
32:36
or after. Okay.
32:36
Okay. Because I hear like Collison,
32:39
calisthenics really good for your wrist to.
32:41
Oh yeah, calisthenics is more just body lifting in instead of
32:45
weightlifting and powerlifting. It's more just body.
32:48
Yes, you don't really use stuff. Tough.
32:50
Yeah, I've also heard the like because of that that it's really
32:53
good on building your the body and yeah building a lot of
32:57
muscle and strength. Yeah.
32:58
Unlike your wrist is what I'm talking about.
33:00
The like because of all of that is through their you use a lot
33:03
of your wrists and calisthenics. Yeah.
33:06
I know a couple people who did it.
33:08
I wish I was strong enough, so funny.
33:10
How that works? It's like I can that's just a
33:12
step. Yeah, it's funny how that works
33:14
is because you're like, oh, I can deadlift this much and it's
33:16
like, but I can't pull myself up.
33:20
And do a pull-up. That's me.
33:22
I can't squat there. I had from my bench press.
33:25
Not that I have to use a band as a use, a band, lift myself up,
33:29
like probably like two bands. So let me yeah.
33:32
All you gotta do is start, that's all it is, exactly?
33:35
Yeah, no. I mean, it takes time for sure
33:38
though. Yeah.
33:39
Yeah, consistency is key. So it is and I think that you're
33:43
living proof of that, it really is like, even me 30.

38:35
We always forget. We always get compute.
38:37
Confused between lime and lemon. It's too complicated.
38:41
Like we don't use the yellow ones at which is lemon.
38:44
We only use lime. That's true.
38:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which we called anymore.
38:48
And so, I don't know. I can't mom.
38:50
Yeah, it just confuses us too much.
38:52
Anyways, I'll must come back to you, okay?
38:55
So we talked about who you are. What was your goal was your
38:59
passion, or anything like that, your interest rate was 2%.
39:06
Tell us about. We're going to go back to
39:08
tattooing, what is your tattoo style?
39:11
Like what's your idea of it? So I like to do a lot of
39:15
realism, a lot of portraits, a lot of hands.
39:19
I like to show a lot of contrast in my work.
39:23
So when I was started tattooing around saying, you know,
39:25
boldwood Holt, bold will hold. So and I didn't really like
39:29
doing lines. So I just, you know, just did
39:32
Black and put a lot of contrast and So that kind of just stuck
39:39
with me. Sounds noble, black shows out a
39:42
lot more and Pops things out. So I use a lot of skin breaks, a
39:46
lot of black and a lot of, you know, realism sir, realistic
39:50
work. So that's kind of like my style
39:53
that one's really good. Do your your detail on this is
39:58
like amazing. Yeah I like to show a lot of
40:00
detail my worker at least she'll try to show a lot of like
40:03
emotion type stuff. Uh-huh.
40:07
Does that a lot, does a lot of that stem from your own
40:12
influence in? Like do you normally draw paint
40:15
what you do? So, um, I usually draw I do.
40:18
I do have some paintings, but for the main part I usually do
40:21
charcoal drawing, okay? If you like look down at the
40:23
bottom, very bottom on my Instagram, where you can see,
40:26
like, the stuff I did when I was in high school and that you can
40:29
kind of see that, like, the emotional like lot of black.
40:32
Lot of contrast type stuff. Mmm.
40:34
In my work. I like the one tattooing, like,
40:36
that's Chris room. Your is like, I asked like the I
40:40
asked the shop, if I could take pictures of everyone.
40:43
Yes, I could, you know, draw them for a school art project
40:46
and yeah, Chris is picture came up the best.
40:50
Yeah, I'm just shook like how your your work is, it's just
40:56
when you were well. Like even the tattoo saw that
40:59
you have, you know, like we're you at first like as an
41:03
apprentice, we understand that a lot of our other tattoo artists
41:06
that we've had on the On the show on the podcast have shared
41:09
with us that they do end up having to take like any and all
41:11
work. Is that?
41:12
Yes. So I deleted a lot of this stuff
41:15
or archived it. A lot of the stuff on my
41:17
Instagram, just because I felt like you're trying to build up
41:20
y'all trying to build a profile. You know, I didn't want people,
41:22
I started a lot of people wanting, you know, script or,
41:25
you know, small type stuff work. And, you know, I wanted to do
41:28
bigger pieces. So I just started taking that
41:30
stuff off my Instagram. I'll still do them.
41:33
But you know, people just can't, you know, just look at it and
41:36
see, that's what I do. Okay, that's what I did.
41:38
A lot of lot of script, a lot of Fine Line type stuff.
41:41
So I just started showing a lot more portraits and lot more
41:44
realistic work. So, like the first, like the
41:46
second tattoo on my Instagram is a picture of a skull and face,
41:50
and I was like, my first portrait ever actually tattooing
41:53
the face and stuff. Yeah.
41:55
And then just kind of progressed from there.
41:57
So but your line, work statues are really great to like, not
42:01
one that I'm looking at the, well, the one, with the flowers.
42:04
Yeah. Did end up keeping it.
42:07
That's the one right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:10
So I like I tried. I look at you, what does that
42:13
cost shading right there tippling.
42:15
Yes, definitely. Damn, you know.
42:18
Yeah, we'll keep a good Line work.
42:20
Why don't you break this down verbally so that someone can try
42:23
to go figure out. Yeah, that's me.
42:25
Basically, it's basically half of face the from the, from the
42:29
eye level down and then on top is a bunch of peony flowers with
42:33
the moon, in the background and some leaves.
42:37
And It's just kind of neo-traditional type artwork
42:41
with the bit of color in it. So yeah, so I try to do good
42:45
Line work but I like to do a lot more like realistic and hiding
42:50
those lines. Have you ever you know how like
42:55
tattoo artist they have when they they print print stencils
42:59
with stencils? Have you ever tried it in like
43:01
freehand or anything? Like I usually don't do a lot of
43:05
free hinges because a lot of my students like myself stencils
43:07
have are very complex. I even put a lot of details in
43:10
my stencils and like sometimes should appoint like where you
43:14
can't even tell what it is. You just see a whole bunch of
43:16
scribbles basically. So, so I try not to do freehand
43:20
anything. Unless like, I'm just filling in
43:24
like a missing part of this tensor, that anything like that.
43:28
So I usually don't do a lot of free hand, so unless I
43:31
absolutely need to and it's very sad and usually when I need to
43:34
it's very, very simple, but yeah.
43:37
Yeah. Usually my stencils are very
43:38
complex for me not to do any free hand on it.
43:42
Like dude your your work is amazing.
43:45
Thank you. What would you say is one of
43:52
your favorite time? Yeah, you've done.
43:54
Oh well that's a good. It depends on the time period.
43:57
So if you were if you ask me like maybe when I first started
44:01
it would be the Edward Scissorhands.
44:04
That's kind of like what kind of dad that's kind of like what am
44:08
I guess? I guess blew me up.
44:11
I guess I post, I posted a whole bunch of artwork.
44:15
My tattoos on the Idle Hands page for the very first time And
44:19
no one had posted in there for like a year before hand, and I
44:22
posted a whole bunch and then I was only booking like maybe two
44:26
to three days out after that. And then, after I posted it, I
44:29
was booking out, you know, months ahead and that gained a
44:32
lot of traction for me, especially the Edward
44:34
Scissorhands. And then after that, I just
44:37
started kind of going more towards people.
44:39
Start asking for a lot more, like, realized realistic, like
44:43
portraits hands to that type of stuff, so that's kinda like the
44:47
stuff I like Like so that Edward Scissorhands would be like when
44:50
I first started or the Medusa. Yeah, that's it.
44:58
Recently, I think it would have to be um, the statue of David
45:03
when I just did. I've been wanting to do statue
45:05
of David for like the longest time.
45:07
Like a big piece of it and I was finally able to the Albert
45:12
Einstein's. Also, a really good one.
45:13
Yeah. That one and that one's Fallen
45:16
Angel painting of Lucifer. And that one's in color, that
45:19
was like, my first, like, doing something like realistic and
45:23
color or semi-realistic in color.
45:25
So I was happy to do, be able to do that.
45:28
So what's that? So I don't answer was this over
45:31
again that power. Yeah.
45:32
All this is Idle Hands. I think my first post at high
45:35
power would be like a picture or a tattoo of the on the leg where
45:40
it's like two faces and one of them is blurred out.
45:45
Yeah, it'd be it look different from every all the other
45:48
pictures. Right?
45:49
But yeah one mostly which one that one?
45:53
Yes yes I did. Yeah dude look at that one right
45:57
there in the corner that one's really good dude.
46:03
So everyone right now this is the part of the show where we
46:06
like to go through artist Instagram so you can follow Alex
46:11
at Alex Garcia Arts. Yes, right.
46:14
With an S right? Yes, no spaces in between.
46:16
Yep. No spaces in between you can go
46:18
through his profile and try to find the tattoos that we're
46:23
talking through or we might just even repose.
46:25
Them on the painters who just so you could easily find them but
46:27
we're you know this is the part where we like to go through the
46:31
profile and start talking through them that Betty White
46:34
one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:37
I like that one. Wow.
46:42
I think we're all just like incredibly mesmerised again
46:44
because I think we tend to although ages.
46:49
Definitely one thing first post the smeared face.
46:53
Oh, okay. That's the like one right there.
46:55
Okay. Good.
46:56
Although facial features are blurred out, so hmm.
47:00
So I'll be finishing that when I think next week.
47:03
Oh nice. Yeah, yeah.
47:05
So this is a two parter then, yeah, yeah.
47:08
It's kind of like a positive and negative type thing.
47:11
Hmm, so I want the other side's going to be like, more light
47:14
type stuff, instead of a whole bunch of black.
47:16
Yeah. This is just so crazy how
47:18
you're, you know, you're 20 years old and you know, like a
47:23
lot of tattoo artists are like starting like at 18 as well as
47:27
you two and, you know, they started the, you know, they
47:32
start from like, how do I say this right now?
47:37
How to make shots? I will come back to me.
47:45
Okay. Okay, okay.
47:46
We'll say it will save you for later and later, Emily lost her
47:51
Trail. I did.
47:52
I did I lost my train of thought.
47:55
I think about it. So Alex, how, how often are you
48:05
tattooing right now? Like, let's talk through your
48:07
like, work-life balance. So I usually tattoo Monday
48:10
through Saturday, okay? It used to be Monday through
48:12
Sunday, just all days before and that was before I had my kid but
48:16
after I had my kid, I used to spend Sundays with him full day
48:20
so he talked to six days a week. Yeah.
48:23
And you know song can't even count.
48:26
It's on cancels. If it's if it's like they you
48:30
know, unexpectedly get sick like you know the night before or
48:33
anything like that or they can show up.
48:35
I usually take that day off unless I have someone you know
48:38
wanting to get in like right away.
48:39
Then I'll be able to do that. If it's a couple if they you
48:41
know like reschedule or cancel a couple days before I usually
48:44
post it on my socials who wants to get in that type of stuff.
48:48
So I usually take, you know, the days I, you know, don't have to
48:50
work, you know, just doing that for like actual life.
48:53
Things Jeweler's. Yeah.
48:56
Because you own a house and have a kid.
48:58
Yeah you have house owner. He's like mowing the damn line
49:04
now right now, but but not right now but like you know, typically
49:07
another simple still mowing their yard to as well.
49:10
Just believe there's a small-time a business owner who
49:13
likes some who while back asked if she could mow my lawn, so
49:16
nice. I just pay him and he mows my
49:19
lawn, every the best thing ever. Yeah, I tell my friends like oh,
49:23
I pay somebody to mow my grass there.
49:25
Like you really pay something, you don't have to do the work
49:30
and you're helping a Business. So yeah, yeah, exactly.
49:33
You get your time back. So what do you enjoy?
49:38
We enjoy doing instead of detecting.
49:40
Like do you have any other Hobbies instead of so painting
49:44
really I just watch a lot of movies and TV shows.
49:48
I'm starting a family guy right now.
49:51
Okay, so I love Family Guy and I am I starting from season like
49:56
Jesse's 1 episode 1, yes, you're trying to pinch it.
50:01
My chick talk started showing a lot of Family Guy, act like
50:04
everyone's lately. I'm yeah.
50:06
So my brother is 15 years old and he's watching Family Guy to,
50:09
as well. He said, he said a lot of Family
50:11
Guy has been popping up with his toughest cop before it never
50:14
really interests me. And then I watched a whole bunch
50:16
of clips and I was like, damn, this is pretty funny that is the
50:19
shit they say. That's how old we are.
50:21
Yeah that's like does it looked over heels?
50:23
Like you're starting family. I got when I was just like going
50:26
on the pages dedicated to posting the clips.
50:28
I was just scrolling through them like hours on end.
50:30
So I was like, I might as well just Watch the show.
50:32
What do you think of Family Guy? It's funny.
50:34
I like it. I get a lot of the references.
50:37
We used to watch Family Guy. When do you start watching
50:40
Family Guy density? Oh God.
50:42

51:14
A whole lot anymore. Not quite my style.
51:17
I'm sorry. Wait wait how are you?
51:24

51:33
She's not laughing at your age. Emily's old.
51:45
Wait, what kind of 2000-2001 right 2001?
51:50
You start watching this initiative. 2002, I was 10 years
51:53
old. How old are you?
52:00
You have older siblings might have watched it when you were
52:04
10. Maybe my uncles, Aunts, Uncles
52:10
that washed it. When you're ten, probably let
52:12
you sit there and watch it to be dead.
52:14
That's how they babysit me. They put on Family Guy and I was
52:17
watching at 10 years old. Yeah, shout out to Uncle knock.
52:25
It was, you know, it's funny when I was when I was 10 when I
52:29
was like nine, 9 10 years old, my uncle uncle knock, he took
52:32
care of me, him and his two best friends in high school and his
52:38
mom and dad will go, will go to work and they say, okay, go
52:43
watch Emily and Lisa, you know, and get them ready for school.
52:47
Here's these high schoolers, you know, getting ready a
52:51
nine-year-old, take them to elementary school.
52:55
So yeah. So shout outs on cano and Sam
53:01
and now, Emily gets drunk with them.
53:03
We do now, he calls me a bitch. If I don't have time grows.
53:08
I'm your knees. A little kind of movies.
53:12
Do you like? So, I like really just really
53:15
anything interesting. I'll watch anything from horror
53:18
horror to romantic comedy romantic, anything like that,
53:24
the most And when I watch is really good, so, Tyler Perry.
53:27
I love Tyler. Perry Confessions of a marriage.
53:29
Counselor, the plot twists in their crate.
53:32
I need you to watch Tyler Perry's plays.
53:36
Mmm, you know, watch those. Those are the best ones.
53:40
Yeah. But the Tyler Perry marriage
53:42
counselor, that one that was I was like, jumping out of my
53:45
seat. I was like, holy shit.
53:46
What? I have not seen that.
53:49
Yeah, it was really. I think it just came out.
53:51
It can't. I think it's more recent.
53:53
I can't came out this year. It's on Netflix until the end of
53:56
the month. I was like, yeah, Tyler Perry's,
53:58
really good. So I might as well watch it.
54:00
It's kind of like a Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
54:03
It's kind of takes on, like the feeling of that, that was the
54:05
largest movie. I watched with Tyler Perry, and
54:09
then I heard he had plays and I was like, who I need to watch
54:12
the plays. And dude, the plays are better
54:15
than the movie. Like it's amazing.
54:18
He breaks a lot of carrot, he breaks character, Everybody
54:20
Breaks Everybody Breaks character at the play.
54:23
It's hilarious. But it won't eat it here.
54:26
Tyler Perry go from a dieta just to one of them.
54:32
He was like, oh yeah, he's taught me a lot
54:51
about life to as well. No, I'm good.
54:54
I'm serious. Because like they teach you a
54:57
lot of things like, just basic, do whatever you want.
55:00
Don't get caught. Yeah, yeah, literally.
55:03
And it's a bitch. Fuck up.
55:04
You fuck her up. If you want to carry a gun, you
55:08
carry a gun fight the cops at all.
55:41
I came to the conclusion while. I don't have any tattoos guys,
55:45
it's because I can't commit. Can't commit because she's a
55:50
pussy. I just can't commit basically.
55:54
So Look at how hard that looks hard.
55:58
That look like your arm weight on my right on my right side.
56:01
Yeah, maybe she was a trucker. So before we wrap up, what is
56:08
your favorite moment in your career, so far?
56:11
Ooh, anything that's a tough. That's a tough one.
56:16
We'll wait. Probably like hearing, like you
56:21
got an apprenticeship like that's kind of when I knew like,
56:24
I'm here like I can get started on everything I wanted you work.
56:28
So yeah, it's like the hard work pays off, you know, that type of
56:31
stuff. So just kind of hearing and
56:33
shaking hands, you know, hearing like you got, you got an
56:36
apprenticeship here. So yeah, you can actually start
56:38
doing what you love. So that's also one more thing.
56:43
What, what can you, tell our listeners?
56:46
You know, from you starting from 18 years old, what somewhere
56:50
device that you can give to other people as well?
56:54
If it feels right, you gotta go for it, don't let other people,
56:58
you know, tell you what to do or influence you and bat at least
57:02
badly, you know, be you know maybe you're wanting to get into
57:06
the industry or anything, you know?
57:08
If you're young there's going to be a lot of people that you
57:10
know, a lot older say they've been in the business for, you
57:13
know, ages and they know a lot better.
57:15
But, you know, if a lot of people are closed minded and
57:20
want to stick to the old ways. So you gotta know Younger people
57:25
now are, you know, lot smarter than you know, they do a lot
57:28
more at least with social media-based, you know, we have
57:31
connections around the world. So I feel like, you know, we
57:35
might not know technical wise, you probably don't know much but
57:39
feeling-wise you have a good idea of where to get started and
57:42
know what to do. So, yeah.
57:44
Well Alex, you literally set everything with you have to say
57:48
and I hope everybody hears that you could just do anything as
57:52
long as you put your mind to it. Honestly.
57:55
So Fanny. You want to give our little?
57:57
Yes, here's Alex. Thank you again seriously, thank
58:00
