Today is a special episode. We interview Marci Mundo and Nicole Renee Dalton from Evoke Tattoos, one of the classiest tattoo shops in Chicago.  They have each needled Catherine multiple times and it becomes quite evident in this episode that Catherine is a fan girl. Steve even declares that his next tattoo will be executed at Evoke.  Marci is a co-owner at Evoke and Nicole is a past apprentice of Marci's. so we get cool information about that relationship. We learn just how messy  and unregulated the industry of tattooing can be, and we get a glimpse inside the workings of a quality shop where their principles, work ethic and sense of responsibility to the customer and respect for the artist is exceptional.  Whether you bring a dated attitude about tattoos as art and/or are brand new to the world of tattoo art, or you sport a sleeve  (or two) and have endured many hours in a tattoo shop, we guarantee  you will learn something about tattooing and will walk away with increased respect for the industry and the artists.
