We like tattoos, we hope that you do too... but if you don't then that's okay, we'll all still have fun anyway.
We're the tattoo show with a twist! We do lost of silly things.
So grab a cold drink or brew, pull up a pew.
Welcome to Chattoos!
Each episode, Tattooists Lyndon Minor and Mark Hardy speak to a guest about tattoos, tattooing and life in general. There’s fun, games, songs and occasionally some real talk. It’s a light-hearted look behind the curtain of tattooing. Join us!

Black and grey tattoo legend Dan Hancock joins Mark and Lyndon for serious discussion about it drawing from scratch, and less than serious discussion about how many fries you can fit in your mouth.

Dr Evil and the Piercing Queen
Episode 6, and the Chattooists invite Mac “Dr. Evil” McCarthy and Jo Webster into the studio.
We talk tattoo shows, piercing, hypnotherapy, and issues of consent within the body modification world.
We also play a very silly game of “pierce Mark’s face”.

Cookie Monster PART ONE
The chattoists are joined by industry legend and all round fun guy, Simon Cooke, aka Cookie.
Cookie not only runs The Ink Spot in Newcastle Under Lyme, but also hosts the Winter Tattoo Festival. His larger than life personality gives Mark a run for his money, and creates confusion for Lyndon.
We discuss conspiracy theories, dressing up, and Lyndon challenges the boys to a quiz to try to figure out who is the imposter..
Two Marks means double the daftness, so this is part one!

Casino Royale
This week, Lyndon & Mark are joined by Pete Murray, from Swallow the Anchor.
Pete is a multi-award winning, neo traditional artist from Liverpool with a clear outlook on life and a wicked sense of humour.
Incredibly, ANOTHER wig surfaces this week, and conversation turns to fishing, competition, and, of course, anal medical conditions.
WARNING: this episode may not be suitable for younger listeners!

The Skinner
It’s episode 2, and Lyndon & Mark welcome their old friend Faye Skinner into the Chattoo studio.
Faye has recently moved into her private studio, and her move from neo traditional tattoos into painterly realism has had jaws dropping all over the place.
The trio chat about Faye’s upcoming Big sink Bash convention, and for some reason there’s an unusual emphasis on various headgear.
