TOP 5 TOP 5

🎙 This Week on Starving Artist: The Podcast We’re diving into one of my favorite segments: Local Top 5 Tattoo Artists. This part of the show is near and dear to me—it’s all about giving flowers to the talented artists right here in our community. As someone who genuinely loves and respects art, there’s nothing better than highlighting artists I can meet, talk to, and see in action. Some of the heavy hitters you’ll hear about in this episode have actually sat down with me on the mic—blessing the show with their presence and insights. 🗣 I encourage you to listen closely—and take note of the names that come up more than once. That’s not by accident. There’s a reason they’re being recognized by multiple guests. So sit back, vibe out, and enjoy this compilation of Top 5s from some of the real ones in the game. Let’s show some love to the ones who bring the ink to life.
