Ever wonder how reality tattoo shows like Tattoo Rescue actually get started?

Spoiler alert: it involves a Jersey guy yelling at a film crew and accidentally becoming a TV star. 😂

🎬 The wild story behind how Tattoo Rescue got made.

🔥 What it’s really like fixing struggling tattoo shops across the country.

🎤 Joey's journey from tattooer to one of the most in-demand convention emcees.

🖤 Why old-school respect matters in today’s oversaturated tattoo scene.

🏆 And yeah… the truth about trophies at tattoo conventions (he doesn’t hold back 😅).

Joey also shares stories about his time in the industry, mentoring new Tattoo Artists, tattooing 7 days a week, and giving back through his conventions and charity work.
