Johnny Bones: Ispiration, Tattoo Shop Pet peeves & a Crush on Ronald McDonald (Ep. 34)

Today the buds are joined by a very special guest, legendary Los Angeles tattooer Johnny Bones—this man is a master of black and gray, jack-of-all-styles, and has never kicked a fast food mascot out of bed. With 26 years of tattooing under his belt and a major role in shaping Sanae’s own tattoo journey, Bones brings the wisdom and the jokes.

We talk about his 2.5 decades-long career, what keeps him inspired.  Ever wonder what tattoo artists really hate? We're talking shop pet peeves, unspoken rules, and yes—someone definitely gets roasted.

And don't miss our fan-favorite Tattoo Cover-Up segment, where Johnny Bones shares a mortifying tale of his own that will make you feel way better about your worst moments.

Warning: This episode contains inappropriate laughter, actual tattoo insight, and possible defamation of several fast-food mascots.
