Ep 129.”The Butterfly Effect” (Part 1 of our Interview with Garrett Rautio)

Getting back to St. Paul, MN with this interview; We are happy to spotlight, this week, Garrett Rautio (owner and operator) of Black Coffin Tattoo (and Piercing). His studio was established in 2015 but Garrett has been tattooing for over 2 decades. 

Amy met with Garrett first (both in real life and in this interview) and Rico joined in later. It was clear, from the start, that Garrett has much to offer the world of tattooing. He's a man that clearly cares and gives a lot of himself to this craft. From running a studio, to F.A.R.T meetings, to building legacy, to finding time to meet with us, Garrett is a pretty amazing guy (no matter how humble he is).

This is a 3 part interview and we know that it'll be fun and informative, through and through. Thank you so very much Garrett. We appreciate all your time and attention to our podcast. 

Hosts: Amy Nicholls & Rico Illiano (Rico joins in later.)
