The dues have on guest Tony Farra after he offered up his opinion on Instagram over one of Rian's photos. Truth be told, the guy was really insightful and concerned about how tattoos are being done. He was kind enough to come onto the show and hash it out.

Shout out to NeedleJig and their amazing needles! We aren't sponsored by them, but we do enjoy their products.

Listen in and learn a whole bunch about how pragmatic thinking can improve your inception into tattooing! We also discuss Rian stabbing a kid in the back at the end of the show... Good times!

Ep. 15 – Dr. John Swierk and Pigment Chemistry

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 19:00:17 GMT

This week, the dudes sit down with Dr. John Swierk. Dr. John is a Ph.D. chemist working out of Binghamton University in New York State. His work focuses on the analysis of bottled tattoo pigment and how pigments degrade under light-energy interaction. Currently, his group is testing bottles of pigment to see how the labels match up with what's really inside them.

Surprisingly (or maybe not at all), they don't match up at all!

Learn more about pigments and Dr. John's research by going to his Twitter or website listed below.
