Ep 139.”Whatcha Doin?” (Part 2 of Amy’s Interview with Darren Monnity and Halo)

In Part 2 we hear more from Halo and Darren Monnity, of  Black Lotus Tattoo Studio (located in Hanover, MD). Darren has been apprenticing for quite some time now. Going on a year if not over that mark now. 

Be sure to keep your eyes on Darren by following him on IG and also TikTok . Keep an eye on Halo and Black Lotus as I'm sure all will be excited to get Darren busy tattooing, when the time comes. This will be such a talent when tattooing starts (We're confident), so get in on the magic in the making and maybe you can help this artist by donating skin to the story. 

Hosts: Amy Nicholls & Rico Illiano (Rico's our intro and exit man) 

Sound Design by: Amy this week, but typically: (Sound Wizard) Chuck Nunn (@djchucknunn) Intros and Exits were also done by Chuck in this series.

New Intro and Exit Music by Chuck Nunn. "Jamuary 10" (list of Jamuary's found here at: Soundcloud.com/chuck-nunn )
