Ep. 223 ”How Well Can You Drive?” (Diary Entry 1:2 with Jake Meeks)

Super stoked to get Jake Meeks of the Fireside Tattoo Network, on the podcast. This is a story that really hasn't been aired much as on Jake's podcast, he really tries to take the focus off himself and give the floor to his guests.

In this first part, we'll learn how Jake found himself in both art and tattooing. We'll understand the relevance of good driving and how much it played a role in Jake's early days, cutting his teeth, in the tattoo world. 

Thank you so very much Jake! We are honored by you and your time. Thank you for this 2 part Diary Entry and your continued efforts to inform and educate yourself, as well as the next generation of artist. You're a good dude!

Bless you and thank you Diary Listeners! We are nothing without your time and attention.
