Ink Different Tattoo

Tattoo conventions are wilder than you think — and Adam Cardone has seen it all. 🎙️🔥

Chico Cortez sits down with the MC of the Tattoo Society World Expo in New York for one of the most entertaining episodes we've done. From working the opening of Paul Booth's Last Rites to performing magic alongside the lead singer of Mayhem — Adam has 20+ years of stories from inside the convention world that you have to hear to believe. 😂🙌

Burlesque. Sideshows. Live entertainment. Ink. This is what really goes on behind the scenes. ✨

Ink Different Tattoo

Two legends. Zero filter. One of the realest conversations we've ever had on this show. 🎙️🔥

Joe Capobianco and Jime Litwalk sit down with Chico Cortez and Gabe Jaksich to talk about what actually happened to tattooing: how a craft built on mentorship, discipline, and passion got taken over by sponsorships, social media clout, and fast money.

They're not holding back. They talk about why apprenticeships used to actually mean something, how conventions changed forever, the loss of humility in tattoo culture, and why younger artists are often missing the deeper meaning behind the craft.

The industry may have changed. But the core? That's still worth fighting for.

If you're serious about this craft — this one is for you. 👇

Before you book that removal appointment — watch this first. 👀🎙️

Chico Cortez sits down with laser removal expert Jeff Garnett who's spent over a decade in the industry, built and sold a 7-location laser business, and just launched his new company Inkless. He breaks down everything people get wrong about tattoo removal — and why full removal might not even be your best move.

If you've got a tattoo you regret or you're thinking about a cover-up, this conversation might save you a lot of time, money, and skin. 🙌🔥

Chico sits down with Alia ElFadaly and Shaun Gray (21 years in body piercing, now running a 10-artist collective) for one of the most incredible conversations we've ever had on Convention Connection.

We're talking building tattoo culture from scratch in Egypt, a Johns Hopkins research project on ancient tattooed mummies, and the BIG announcement you need to hear — the first tattoo convention ever held in the Middle East. Cairo. The pyramids as your backdrop. It's happening.
