Unite and Win Podcast

George Crewe joins me for a catch up on life, tattoos, project cars and the hobbies that somehow take up more time than our actual jobs. George and I first met while tattooing in Hollywood over a decade ago. These days, when he's not tattooing at Noiseland Tattoo in Leicester, he's usually buried in another project car as his alter ego, Harry Wormwood. We talk about how we met, our early years tattooing in LA, project cars, side quests, and why tattooers always seem to find new ways to keep themselves busy.

In Episode 46 of the Unite & Win Podcast, I sit down with Ryan Cooper Thompson, a tattooer based out of Portland, Oregon at Tattoo SMILE. Ryan is currently hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail from the Mexico/California border all the way to Canada, and while passing through Wrightwood, California, we linked up off trail, pulled out some camping chairs, and recorded this episode in the middle of the journey. We talk about the road that led him here, life on the trail, traveling, tattooing, and what it’s like spending over two decades dedicated to the craft. Ryan made his first tattoo in 2001 and has been tattooing professionally since 2004. (R C T) If you’re into tattooing, traveling, backpacking, or just hearing real conversations from people fully committed to the path they’ve chosen, this one’s worth checking out.
