“Instagram completely changed how people approach tattoos”
Tattoo culture has changed a lot over the last two decades.
What once lived mostly in underground subcultures is now visible everywhere — on social media, in sports, in art, and in everyday life. Instagram has transformed how people discover tattoo artists, choose designs, and even decide where to get tattooed.
But what does that shift actually look like from inside the studio?
In this episode of Nothing But A Good Time, Kevin sits down with Utrecht-based tattoo artist Enrico Bandito to talk about the reality of tattooing today. From the influence of social media on tattoo trends to the kinds of conversations tattoo artists have with their clients every day, Enrico shares what life behind the tattoo machine is really like.
The conversation dives into the evolution of tattoo culture, how artists develop their style, and how technology and social media have changed the way people approach tattoos.
Of course, working with people all day also leads to some unforgettable moments. Tattoo artists hear some of the strangest, funniest, and most surprising stories from clients — and Enrico shares a few of them in this episode.
From Instagram trends to wild tattoo requests, this conversation gives a candid look at modern tattoo culture and the experiences that come with working in a tattoo studio.
