Hosts: J.C. De Leon and Michael Willams
Welcome to The Tattoo Shop with the Bearded Gentlemen! Hosted by OneOfUs.net regular J.C. De Leon and tattoo artist Michael Willams (@Beardedgentleman on Instagram) this one of a kind podcast will focus tattoo trends, dispel frequent myths, our hosts will tell stories of their history with tattoos and we’ll even bring in guests that range from other tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts in general. There may even be some general pop culture talk thrown in for good measure, which is the kind of conversation you’d be immersed in while at a normal tattoo shop. So join us for some great stories, genuine laughs, and don’t be afraid of walking into our tattoo shop.
