Welcome to the Tattoo Budcast, the hilarious podcast where tattoo artists and buds Sanae Garcia and Jimmy Jam blend their love for tattoos with their knack for storytelling. Broadcasting from their cozy tattoo shop, they bring you a unique and hearty dose of humor and unfiltered shop banter. Think of it as eavesdropping on a tattoo session, but with fewer needles and more laughs. Each week, Jimmy Jam and Sanae tackle everything from the wildest tattoo requests they’ve ever gotten, to bizarre client stories, to deep dives into the culture of tattoos. Whether they’re discussing what happens when someone asks for a tiny dragon on their wrist (and it turns out to be the size of a toddler), or recalling the most cringe-worthy tattoo trends they’ve seen, it’s a perfect blend of humor, and real-life tattoo shop antics. The Tattoo Budcast will also be featuring guest tattoo artists and the most interesting tattoo clients, listeners will feel like they’re right there in the shop. It’s a mix of sharp wit, irreverence, and surprisingly insightful takes on tattooing and life in general. Get ready for confessions, advice, funny shop mishaps, and stories that will make you laugh out loud (while maybe questioning your next tattoo choice). Catch your buds at your weekly session, on the Tattoo Budcast.

From Burnout to Boink Lists, Tattoo Industry Misconduct : Tattoo Talk Gets Weird (Again) (EP. 28)

Tuesday May 13, 2025

Welcome back to another chaotic session of the Tattoo Budcast, where Jimmy Jam is mysteriously MIA (no, really—someone check his location). But don’t worry, Honorary Bud Goonies is back in the co-pilot seat with Sanae, and the girls are talking DRAWERS BLOCK, baby. Goonies shares how she clawed her way out of an inspiration slump and back into the tattoo groove.

Then things get unhinged with the viral “Hear Me Out” TikTok challenge, where the Buds expose their most questionable crushes—we’re talking cartoon hotties and hotbeds from their youth.

We’re also diving into a serious tattoo topic: misconduct in the industry, and how it hits different when you’ve been navigating tattoo shops since before you could rent a car. Sanae and Goonies reflect on their early days in tattooing, when being a young girl in the industry meant dodging creeps, clichés, and coil machines.

Engineer Jake jumps in with some spicy AI questions—like should robots be allowed to tattoo? And we close it all out with a stupid (and sketchy) Cover Up confession from Sanae. Spoiler: it's juicy.
