Wet Specimens, Walk-Ins & Our Summer Kickoff

Big things are happening at NeoTrad Life, and we're spilling all of it. This episode is your behind-the-scenes pass to everything new, exciting, and upcoming at the shop. We're recapping our MER-MAY walk-in event, which was a total splash — thank you to everyone who came out and made it one for the books. We're also breaking down our wet specimen class, one of the most fascinatingly weird workshops we've hosted yet (and proof that our community shows up for the unconventional). Then we look ahead to the big one: the Stuck by Chuck Piercings Grand Opening on June 20! It's our Summer Kickoff, and Chuck's got the details on featured hours, per-placement discounts, raffles, and everything we've been building toward. Five placements, implant-grade titanium, done really, really well. Plus all the usual NeoTrad Life fun — fresh ink from Inked by Beth, art classes, zero-gravity massage chair sessions, and a few surprises we're not quite ready to reveal. Whether you're a longtime regular or just finding us, pull up a chair (or a piercing table), and let's get into it. Chaotic, loving, and a little bit weird — just the way we like it. 🖤 NeoTrad Life | 8380 Ulmerton Rd, Unit 314, Largo, FL | www.neotradlife.com [http://www.neotradlife.com]

Neotrad Life Podcast – Meet one of our new apprentices Kali

This week we're sitting down with Kali, our apprentice and one of the most exciting new artists to watch. Kali brings serious natural talent to the chair, paired with a hunger to learn that's impossible to miss. In this episode, we get to know her — where her art comes from, what drew her to tattooing, and what the apprenticeship has looked like so far. Whether you're an aspiring artist, a tattoo collector, or just love a good origin story, you don't want to miss this one.

Introduction to Stuck by Chuck Piercings

What happens when two artists decide they’re not here to fit the mold — they’re here to build something louder, rawer, and more real? In this episode of Neotrad Life, we dive into the story behind the growth of Stuck by Chuck and how a simple idea turned into something bigger than either of us imagined. From late-night conversations and crazy ideas to building a brand with heart, hustle, and chaos — this episode is all about the journey. Chuck opens up about creating something different alongside Inked by Beth, the challenges of building from the ground up, and the passion that fuels the vision. More than anything, this episode shines a light on partnership, loyalty, and believing in someone before the world catches on. “She’s been my rock, my support, and my biggest cheerleader.” This is the story of friendship, trust, artistic rebellion, and building a life around doing what you love with people who truly believe in you. If you’ve ever dreamed about creating your own lane instead of following someone else’s path — this episode is for you.   www.neotradlife.com

Neotrad Life Podcast – Meet one of our new apprentices Christina

This episode, we’re bringing fresh energy into the Neotrad Life family—introducing Christina, one of our newest apprentices. She’s not here to fit the mold… she’s here to melt it down and rebuild it in neon. With a love for standing outside the norm, Christina brings bold individuality to everything she touches—rocking colorful hair, an unapologetic personality, and yes… a strong appreciation for Slim Jims. But don’t get it twisted—behind the playful edge is a serious artist in the making, with a deep passion for portrait work and a unique pull toward surrealism. Her style lives somewhere between reality and dreamscape—where faces tell stories and imagination bends the rules. In this episode, we dive into what inspires her, what it’s like stepping into the tattoo world as an apprentice, and how she’s beginning to carve out her own lane under the Neotrad Life wing. Get to know the mind, the vibe, and the vision behind one of the next rising artists in the shop. Welcome to the family, Christina. 🔥   Follow are are amazing and exciting upcoming adventures at www.neotradlife.com

The Perfect workday and what that looks like to us

What does a “perfect workday” really look like—and is it even realistic? In this episode of NeoTrad Life, we break down the idea of productivity, balance, and fulfillment from a real-life perspective. From creative flow and structured routines to the unexpected chaos that always seems to show up, we talk honestly about what actually makes a day feel successful (hint: it’s not perfection). We also dive into something just as important—how we handle difficult conversations when one person’s decisions directly affect the other. Whether it’s business, time, or energy, those moments can either build connection or create tension. We unpack how communication can easily turn into miscommunication if you’re not intentional, and share how we’ve learned to slow things down, listen better, and approach tough discussions without turning them into conflict. This episode is about redefining “perfect,” embracing growth, and learning how to show up for your work—and each other—with clarity, respect, and honesty.   Follow us here at www.neotradlife.com
