Episode 1: Cool-hand Luke Atay

Greetings new listeners and welcome back old fans of Repurposed Canvases. Today our guest is Luke Atay, a gifted tattoo artist from New York City.

As we sit here live in the infamous East Side Ink studio, we're surrounded by patient needle cartridges, overflowing ink trays, and globs of petroleum jelly. In this episode, we'll learn what it takes to create the illusion of hyper-realistic chainmail, how jailhouse tats became mainstream, where it hurts the most to jabbed, and why Luke's family tree of artistic influence goes all the way back to Caravaggio.

Join me as we learn how to bring ideas to life and life lives of meaning. Tattoo edition.
