The Sailor Jerry Podcast

Macha Schiavone is a well-respected voice and entrepreneur in the traditional tattooing community. Tune in as we explore the enduring charm of Sailor Jerry's iconic flash designs and celebrate the re-release of the legendary book, Homeward Bound: The Life and Times of Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry.

Macha also takes us on a journey from the sun-kissed streets of southern Italy to the bustling tattoo studios of London, where he discovered his passion for traditional tattoos. We delve into how Macha started the renowned @traditionalstattoo Instagram, the sacred connection between music and tattooing, gatekeeping in the industry, tattoo aftercare, and Macha's must-know list of traditional tattoo artists. As always, brought to you by Sailor Jerry!
