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....

This is a post to highlight last week.😅 I’m behind and apologize. Tonight, I’m releasing Part 1 with . Kevin is more who I’d like Listeners to focus on this week, but in case you’re interested in the personal aspects of this host, here’s the latest personal

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....

Great read/listen. This is available until Oct. 28th for a free listen. Get to it soon. It’s quite good and eye opening.

It has me reflecting on my time both learning to tattoo and trying to teach it.

Lewis Bunn or "Lewie" , has been apart of this podcast, on the back channels, since the beginning. In the background of this podcast's growth, Lewis was trying to get into tattooing. He's an Englishman, living in Australia and he's been working his body to the bone to give his kids and wife, a bette...

I had a movie day with family today (hence my late podcast release) and this is one of two movies that I've seen lately. For a person who typically doesn't find too much reason to go to the movies, I'm rather struck by the saturation of movie-going; I'll give my take on one of the movies that I've a...

Alright... We're back with the second half of our time with the lovely PMU artist, Jordan Kiser, of Magic Mirror Tattoo and Piercings ( in Millersville, MD).

This is only Part 1 of our time with Jordan... We had a storm naturally, split our time up. I do believe it was d...

I'm already so critical of so much but the most important thing to note about this episode is that Rico and I are getting married this upcoming Sunday. I just wanted to share all that I've been thinking and feeling with you listeners, as Rico and I get closer and closer, to the big day. Next week, I...

This week is the wrap up with Wheelyum Dee, of The Wilted Rose, located in Chattanooga, TN. This whole time has been a divine blessing. "If not for" a hacker who almost hacked your host (using Wheelyum's identity) this podcast wouldn't have happened. It's crazy how we come together in this life and....

It's funny, I've run a podcast now for 5 years... it might be more at this point... I've lost track. 😅 I've been given a lot of kudos for it lately and it's curious to me as the entire time I've done this, I've hardly known what I'm doing.

What I want folks to know is that it's very simple to have a podcast, should you want one. You can do it for a very low cost, per month. It just takes an RSS feed host ( I use and enjoy Podbean). Podbean also creates an account and website for people to follow you.

From there, you can apply to be streamed by Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iTunes, iHeartRadio, Google Play... the list goes on.

You might also want to build your own website, as I have, specifically for your podcast ( I use Podcastpage as they are focused on aiding podcasters) If you have a podcast and want to build a webpage, I definitely recommend this company. here's a link to get started :https://podcastpage.io?via=amy80

I was talking to a friend the other day regarding calling something "simple". Simple doesn't equivocate to easy. I suppose that's where all my "kudos" come from... The 5+ years I've done something that I really didn't understand, but just wanted to do.

Please, if you're a friend that wants a podcast, message me and I'll give you some tips. I'm still growing but I've gathered enough on my journey, to help out.

If you're not following my podcast, here on FB, please do. It's called The Apprenticeship Diaries and I'd love to keep scaling this passion project, all the time. It's been the only diary, I've ever been able to keep.

Have a powerful day friends!

Welp, we pick right up where we left off last week with Wheelyum Dee. We learn more, not only about Wheelyum's journey into tattooing, but also his approach to a lot in life. Mostly, we can see a lot of faith in God; A lot of humility, as Wheelyum has had a lot of trials in his life. We know that yo...

How divine an intervention that brought Wheelyum Dee into the forefront of this podcast's world? Even more divine, we are able to wish Wheelyum's daughter, Ashley, a "Happy Heavenly Birthday" today, as this first part launches on her birthday. Wheelyum honors her passing, each year by giving away a....

Mary Minahan is back! She's more broadly known as Miss Vampira and when this show first met Mary, she was a wee apprentice who moved from coast to coast, to pursue her passion to be a tattoo artist. Her first 2 part, Diary Entries (Ep. 90 & 91), were the perfect illustration of where Mary was......

Jake always has so much to offer. Thank you so very much Jake! We are honored by you and your time; T...

Super stoked to get Jake Meeks of the Fireside Tattoo Network, on the podcast. This is a story that really hasn't been aired much as on Jake's podcast, he really tries to take the focus off himself and give the floor to his guests. In this first part, we'll learn how Jake found himself in both art a...

222!!!
~ “In numerology, the angel number 222 is believed to be a powerful message from the divine realm, and can symbolize balance, harmony, and spiritual alignment. It can also be associated with love, collaboration, and nurturing creative energy. Some say that seeing the number 222 repeatedly can mean that you are in the flow of the universe’s light, and that you are exactly where you are meant to be.”

This could be the case OR… I just have ADD (ADHD)? Either way, this isn’t a long Diary Entry. I update on my life and express gratitude to for collaborating over the last two weeks.🙏 Gratitude for , , .dna and shoutout , who is the focus of next week’s Diary Entry. Jake Meeks was gracious enough to donate a 2 part Entry to this show and I’m excited to air his journey into tattooing. Thanks Jake. 😎

I forgot to mention another collaborator in , who’s being bold and just moved to AZ. Lots of love and prayers.

As always… I love you Listeners and praise God for each of you! 🙏😘

About The Apprenticeship Diaries

I was sitting around with my friend Evan Olin (amazing portrait artist), and discussing what it was to be a mentor, and comparing that, to what we remember being a mentee; In that moment, I thought, “There should be a podcast about this!”

From that lightbulb moment, came the mission to make The Apprenticeship Diaries (T.A.D) Podcast: A collection of apprenticeship stories from top tattoo artists. The truth is, we all had our start, and unlike other professions, tattooing is a field where all starts are unique.

Please listen, rate, review, and follow us, as we share tales about what they did, what they do, and the sacrifices made to the tattoo gods.

If you are a tattoo artist, a fan of the tattoo industry, a collector, wanting to apprentice as a tattoo artist, or just enjoy listening to beginnings, this is the podcast for you!
