Avanti Tattoo: "Erik, when we record the podcast, do you want to get a tattoo live?'
Erik: "Anything for the listeners."
Erik does exactly that as he sits down with his new favorite Artist, Petro and Michele Toon, owner of Avanti Tattoo, for the most unique episode recorded so far of the Partnership Podcast. While Petro creates a tattoo on Erik in real time, they talk about building an award-winning business, the artistry behind tattooing, safety and professionalism in the industry, and the meaningful work Avanti does for the community—including providing free restorative nipple-areola tattooing for breast cancer survivors. It's a conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, giving back, and what it takes to earn the trust of hundreds of clients. Plus, you'll hear whether Erik makes it through the whole experience!
