Episode 287: Tiki Culture with Dirk Vermin
About this episode
Dirk Vermin discusses his journey in tiki culture and art, connecting Las Vegas to Great Falls.
This week on We're No Dam Experts , Rebecca and Shannon welcome legendary Las Vegas tattoo artist, musician, entrepreneur, and former Bad Ink star Dirk Vermin. Dirk shares how a persistent Sandy Johnson Thares of the iconic Sip 'n Dip Lounge convinced him to bring his love of tiki culture to Great Falls, resulting in a one-of-a-kind original artwork created especially for the legendary lounge. From tattooing and television to tiki art and life in Las Vegas, Dirk's story is anything but ordinary. Grab a cocktail and join us for a fun conversation about art, creativity, tiki culture, and the unexpected connection between Sin City and Great Falls.
