## Resource

Marco Gomez pulled up to Tattoo Budcast with THREE things: wisdom, horror stories, and parasites. 🫠 In this episode we talk about Marco’s journey overcoming gut parasites (yeah… we were disgusted too), his approach to mentoring apprentices, and how he officially became a tattoo grandpa—because his apprentice graduated and now has apprentices of his own. That’s generational tattooing, baby. Then Marco casually drops one of the most terrifying haunted experiences from his childhood and suddenly the whole vibe turns into Paranormal Activity: Tattoo Shop Edition. If you like tattoo talk with a side of trauma and comedy—this one’s for you. ----more---- Like & Subscribe to Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TattooBudcast Follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tattoobudcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tattoobudcast Sanae IG: https://www.instagram.com/sanae_kawaii/ Jimmy Jam IG: http://www.instagram.com/iamjimmyjam Podcast Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TattooBudcast ----more---- Marco’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/donjuandemarco1 Shop IG: https://www.instagram.com/warhorsevintagetattoo
