Ep. 243 "May We All Ascend Together... But F Flies" (Diary Entry 2:2 with Nicole DeRoy)

Thank you for coming back and checking out this second piece of our talk with Nicole DeRoy of Ascension Tattoo in Sedona, AZ. 
We talk about the "street-shop" vibe and what gifts it yields to a newer artist. Nicole is also, one of the only artists in Sedona that integrates energy work with the tattoo service. She does "ceremonial" tattoos and shares some of the benefits of this kind of tattoo experience. 
Then... We get a quick visit from Rico who eats soup with us and shares a bit of his experience. 
Thank you for this time and attention. Things are moving and changing. We know that much is going on but what we want each of you to know of our wants: We hope we all rise together. 
God Bless and Enjoy the last few days of 2024!
Here are some quick links to follow all things "Nicole":

Ep. 242. "Present" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Nicole DeRoy)

Nicole is back! This is another check-in with the wonderful, Nicole DeRoy (now resident artist at Ascension Tattoo).

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa! Ours was overwhelming, but a pure blessing. Praise God! 
Thank you always, Listeners!

Ep. 240 "So Metal" (Diary Entry 2:2 with Allie Oxenblood)

Part 2 was so much fun with Allie Oxenblood, the Treehouse Tattooer. We finally talk about her apprenticeship. Yay!!! It is wild and the source of so much laughter, despite the very real and scary situations.  As determined within this show, life can either cause tears or laughter... Either way, we gotta get through. 
Allie... Thank you so much! This was a wonderful time and you were so gracious and gave such great advice at the end. Bless you and let's do this again.
God bless you all!

Ep. 239 "Piercing the Veil" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Allie Oxenblood)

This is Part 1 of our 2 Part Diary Entry with Allie Oxenblood, the Treehouse Tattooer. I think Allie does a great job introducing herself in her IG bio: "Tattooin, Tale-tellin, pot-stirring, liberty loving, dissident mountain mama. Ceremonial treehouse tattooing in Appalachia, WV."
In this piece, we talk all things God and explore some of Allie's time tattooing. In truth, this was off-script from the start and in order to get to Allie's apprenticeship days, we might have to meet again.
Hopefully, this podcast went rogue in the best ways. Your host certainly enjoyed herself.
Allie... Thank you to the moon and back! This was a wonderful time and you were so gracious to play along. Bless you and let's do this again for sure.
Listeners, come back next week as we're not done talking to Allie.
God bless you all.

Ep. 238 "A Real Sweetheart" (3:3 Diary Entry with Kevin Kline)

In this last third of his Diary Entry, we talk about wisdom with Kevin Kline of Tattoo Icons (Perryville, MD); How important wisdom is and all the different ways to acquire wisdom (the funny and stupid ways). Kevin shares what his hopes are for the next 5 years and shouts out some epic influences he's had already; Influences that give him hope and inspiration for the future. 
Overall, this show is honored to know such a sweet human as Kevin. It's obvious that he cares deeply about the work and those he practices with.
Thank you so much Kevin! This was an amazing time. Thank your cat too. As much as we recommend life out of the closet, we can appreciate the moments where we just gotta hide.
Praise God for all the blessings. We are honored by the time of each guest and every Listener.

Ep. 237 "A Good Conversation" (Diary Entry 2:3 with Kevin Kline)

Welcome back to our time with Kevin Kline of Tattoo Icons, in Perryville, MD. In this second piece, we talk early days getting tattooed, healthcare, imposter syndrome and inspiration.
Thank you all for coming back to this "good conversation" with Kevin. We hope this is the first of many Diary Entries with this new talent.
May we all rise together and keep doing the reps to make us better. I love you Listeners and have eternal gratitude. Thank you Kevin for all this time. It was so nice to finally chat with you and learn more about you.
Come back for the conclusion, with Kevin, next week.
Bless you all!

Ep. 236 "A Wise Choice" (Diary Entry 1:3 with Kevin Kline)

Part 1 of this 3 part Diary Entry is called "A Wise Choice" because Kevin Kline made a wise choice to get fully into tattooing again, before he came on the podcast. He knew the ups and downs of his time, trying to get into tattooing and he wanted to put a good foot forward before he talked too much. Now, as a member of the Tattoo Icons crew, he can start sharing with us and we can shout out his story.
More, it's November 5th, General Election Day and we all should be out to make solid choices today. 
Thank you so much for this time Kevin. God bless you and all who listen in.

Ep. 235 "An Honest Assessment" (After Paradise with your host)

This wasn't an assessment of the Paradise Tattoo Gathering. It was a personal assessment of how I felt after I went to this gathering and the specific ways that I really stretched beyond my limits. 
At the end, as tired as I am, I'm so grateful and have nothing but great moments to recall. 
This life is a blessing and so are each and every Listener of the show! Thank you to all who made Paradise amazing (you know who you are). God bless you all... as well as the pets!
