Ep 1. "First to Walk the Plank" (Amy Nicholls interviews with Co-host Rico Illiano)

Meet your host, Amy Nicholls and her co-host, (and partner) Rico Illiano, as Rico interviews Amy about her apprenticeship in the tattoo industry. 

Find out Amy's motivation behind this podcast, and take a quick tour through some of the frequently asked questions about tattoo apprenticeships, and what Amy's (off the cuff) answers are (given her experience).

~As someone who is willing to lead by example, I wanted to be the first to take the plunge, "walk the plank", and be brutally candid about my thoughts and feelings. I'm definitely not perfect and I don't think that's the point! I think everyone has a story, and I'm going to start by telling mine first.

I want to thank you in advance for listening to The Apprenticeship Diaries! Rico and I are dedicated to this interview project, and we hope to keep it up for some time with your continued support. 

Your Host, 

Amy Nicholls
