## Resource

This episode of Tattoo Budcast gets unhinged real fast with special guest Lindsay Shaver, owner of punk record and clothing shop Dead Rockers 🖤 We kick things off with some absolutely chaotic topics, starting with the most inappropriate funeral songs you could possibly play (yes, we go there). Then we jump into vampires like normal people, realize we’ve been mispronouncing words our entire lives like idiots, and somehow end up listening to the most disgusting snoring “hack” ever recorded… genuinely one of the worst things to hit our ears. From there, it only gets worse. We spiral into rat kings, things that make our skin crawl, and all the nightmare fuel you wish you could unhear. In between the chaos, Lindsay casually drops how she built Dead Rockers from pop-ups to a full brick and mortar and kept it alive through a pandemic like it was just another Tuesday. Then we switch gears and answer a listener question about how to tell your tattoo artist you’re not happy with your last few pieces without ruining the relationship or your future tattoos 😬 We close it out with our Cover Up segment, where Lindsay tells a story about a haunted antique doll she picked up on the road… and that’s all you’re getting. Trust us. If you like tattoo culture, small business hustle, dark humor, and conversations that go completely off the rails, this one’s for you. 🎧 ----more---- Like & Subscribe for new episodes every week.
