episode Dino Vallely | Sculpting Flow Across The Skin, Decoration, and Form cover

Dino Vallely | Sculpting Flow Across The Skin, Decoration, and Form

Blackwork can be loud, heavy, and flat, or it can feel like it belongs to the body the way muscle and movement do. We’re spotlighting Dino, a tattoo artist working out of France, because his work hits that rare balance: bold black used with restraint, rhythm, and intention. The pieces don’t just decorate skin, they shape it. When the body turns, the tattoo still makes sense, because it was designed with the body from the start. We talk through what stands out in Dino’s approach to placement and composition, especially his habit of using black as a sculptural tool. The contrast is strong, but the flow is clean. The vibe can read as neotribal and ornamental at the same time, without feeling like a copy of anything else. If you care about blackwork tattoos, elegant large-scale projects, and how negative space can create depth, this one will give you a fresh way to look at ink. Then we get specific with two pieces that stopped us cold. First, a permanent henna-style hand tattoo that goes beyond the top of the hand into the palm, fingers, and webbing, with negative space that keeps the palm open and readable. We also get into the reality of that placement, including why touch-ups are likely and why clean lines there are such a flex. Finally, we break down our favorite: a double leg sleeve that uses different densities of black to build depth, plus floral elements around the kneecap and calves to break the pattern and keep the whole design breathing. If you want to follow Dino’s work, he’s got a booking link on his Instagram and a Between Sessions group chat where he shares art, clothing, and convention updates. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves blackwork, and leave a review with the boldest placement you’ve ever considered.

episode Igor Klimin | What Happens When Freehand Linework Follows Anatomy cover

Igor Klimin | What Happens When Freehand Linework Follows Anatomy

Stencil-free tattoos usually sound like a gamble, but Igor’s work makes it feel like the safest bet in the room. We put a spotlight on Igor, a Russian-based tattoo artist working out of Düsseldorf, Germany, whose freehand calligraphy and lettering tattoos come out crisp, bold, and shockingly clean even on difficult placements like the neck and throat. We walk through what makes his style stand out: strong black and gray tattooing, occasional red accents, and a serious respect for anatomy. When we watch him blast a neck piece, the takeaway is clear. The design isn’t just “cool linework.” It’s linework that follows the jawline, throat, and natural contours so it reads right from every angle, not just in a perfect photo. That anatomy-first approach is exactly why freehand can be the right tool, not just a flashy technique. We also get practical about how to book a traveling tattoo artist at this level. Igor shares updates through Instagram and runs a members group that calls out where he’ll be next, which makes it easier to catch him when he visits the US, including spots like Tampa, North Carolina, and LA. If you’ve been searching for a freehand calligraphy tattoo artist, black and gray lettering tattoos, or a stencil-free tattoo process that still looks razor sharp, this is the breakdown you want. Subscribe for more artist discoveries, share this with a friend planning their next piece, and leave a review with the boldest placement you’d trust for a full freehand tattoo.

episode Mr Nobody Tattoo aka "Roberto Dolci" | Seven Tattoo Vegas | The Culture & The Ritual; From Italy to Black and Gray Realism cover

Mr Nobody Tattoo aka "Roberto Dolci" | Seven Tattoo Vegas | The Culture & The Ritual; From Italy to Black and Gray Realism

A tattoo can be art, identity, and memory, but it is also a design problem that has to live on a moving body for decades. We sit down with Roberto “Mr. Nobody,” an Italian tattoo artist now working at Seven Tattoo Studio in Las Vegas, to unpack how black and gray realism gets built from the ground up: family influence, travel, obsession with references, and the slow process of refining taste. Roberto shares what it was like growing up in an Italian tattoo shop in the 90s, when artists had to do a bit of everything, and how that foundation shaped his approach to composition and body flow. We talk about his creative influences, from biomechanical tattooing to color realism, and why studying flow, depth, and anatomy matters whether you do realism, geometric, ornamental, or Japanese styles. If you care about tattoos that age well, you will hear his clearest standards: placement that fits the body, believable volumes, and lighting that makes the subject read clean from across the room. Then we hit the hot topics: tattoo trends that ignore dynamism, the idea of “earning” hands, neck, face, and head tattoos, and why a single visible tattoo on an otherwise untattooed body can feel visually unbalanced. Finally, we go deep on anesthesia tattoos, including the cost, the time pressure on the artist, and the cultural question of whether skipping pain skips the ritual. If you enjoy honest tattoo culture conversations and practical advice about realism tattoo design and placement, subscribe, share this with a friend who is planning their next piece, and leave a review with your take: do you think anesthesia tattoos are smart, or do they miss the point?

episode Pascal Benecke | The German Artist Turning Portraits Into Raw 3D Darkness cover

Pascal Benecke | The German Artist Turning Portraits Into Raw 3D Darkness

A portrait can be beautiful and still feel flat, so we went looking for the kind of art that pushes back. I’m talking about Pascal, a Germany-based tattoo artist and painter who works in a style he calls dark fragmented art. His pieces don’t just show a face, they break it open with fragmentation, deep shadow, and rough texture so the emotion hits before you even understand what you’re seeing. If you’re into dark realism tattoos, high-contrast portrait work, or unsettling fine art that still feels precise, this one is for you.  We get into what makes his approach different: he treats the frame like part of the image, burning and stretching edges to create dimension that reads almost like 3D mixed media. That “dark fragmented realism” look is more than a vibe, it’s a set of choices around shadow placement, value control, and composition that turns a standard portrait into something that feels alive. There’s also a standout piece that grabbed me immediately, a fragmented face with an eerie overlay that could be a screen, a mask, or a ghost form, and it’s exactly the kind of ambiguity that makes dark art stick in your head.  Then we spotlight “Beware Of The Demons,” a detailed portrait painting with an angel inside the frame and bronze-gold hands reaching out as if the painting can’t contain what’s happening. We also talk practicals, including that Instagram is the best way to contact Pascal, and that seeing his work in person may mean booking time in Germany. If you like discovering niche artists and learning how they build mood through darkness, texture, and distortion, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who loves tattoo art, and leave a review telling us what Pascal’s work makes you feel.

episode Andrea Pellerone | What Makes A Tattoo Feel Like An Italian Cathedral Wall cover

Andrea Pellerone | What Makes A Tattoo Feel Like An Italian Cathedral Wall

A back piece can look like ink, or it can look like a scene you’d find on a cathedral wall. We get into why Italian tattoo artist Andrea Pellerone’s work lands in that second category, blending fine line micro-realism with black and grey illustrative tattooing in a way that feels mythological, philosophical, and seriously cinematic. We talk through what jumps out the moment you see his tattoos: the patience in the micro-details, the confidence of the line work, and the way negative space does as much storytelling as the black ink. One of the standout breakdowns is a darkly poetic back piece that reads like Italian scripture carved into stone, with contrast that pulls your eye straight to the light center. Then we dive into another back design featuring an illustrative gorilla, an eagle, and a center panel packed with symbols, quotes, and astrological details that still feels clean because the spacing is so intentional. There’s also a practical side if you’re trying to book work from an artist who tattoos out of Italy and keeps things private. We share how his Instagram points to a website link, how “Book Now” routes to a private WhatsApp message, and why joining artist groups can help you catch booking windows, closures, and cancellations while seeing fresh pieces in real time. If you care about fine line tattoos, negative space tattoo design, or what separates good micro-realism from truly elite work, this one will sharpen your eye. Subscribe for more artist spotlights, share this with a friend planning a back piece, and leave a review with the tattoo style you’re chasing right now.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
