Meet Alex Empty, Professional Tattooer at Copper State Tattoo in Phoenix, Arizona. Tattooing is one of the oldest art forms known to man. Listen in as Alex takes us on a journey from apprentice, to independent artist, to shop owner, and gives us his take on the industry, the environment, and why mastery of technique is an ever-elusive ideal that, even to a life-long professional like him, demands a continuous level of commitment, dedication, and sacrifice.
