YOU’LL NEVER WORK ANOTHER DAY, WITH STACEY MARTIN
Tattooing has seen a cultural shift in recent years, going from the piece of art you keep firmly under the neckline to adoring the arms, hands, legs, and even faces of musicians and celebrities. With me today is artist extraordinaire Stacey Martin, who has been navigating this shift with her signature style, filling her appoint book for months at a time. We had a chat about what this change has looked like, the value of hard work, and how art is art, but it's business, too. Take a look.
