Welcome to NeoTrad Life — where modern love meets old-school values (and a little chaos in between).
We’re Beth, a colorful tattoo artist, and Charles, a business-minded optimist, navigating marriage, co-parenting, faith, and family in the new world of blended life — with our bulldog Steve snoring in the background. 🐾
Here, we keep it real and relatable — from dating after divorce and Sunday meetings to goal setting, faith talks, and the funny stuff that keeps us sane.
Pull up a chair, grab your diet Chik-fil-a Lemonade (or your sanity snack of choice), and join us as we laugh, learn, and build a life that’s a little messy, a little meaningful, and 100% us.
Ink, Love & Business, with Val and Mike of The Funk Part 2
This week we finish the conversation with Val and Mike, the husband-and-wife team behind The Funk tattoo shop in New Port Richey, FL, for a conversation that hits close to home. Like us, they're a married couple building a business together in the tattoo industry, and they get real about what that looks like day to day.
We talk tattooing, the craft, and the work that goes into running a shop as partners in both life and business. Val and Mike share what it's like working alongside your spouse: the parts that come easy, the parts that test you, and how they keep the shop and the marriage strong when the two overlap.
Most of all, this episode is about why we love doing this together. Building something side by side with the person you love, and creating a community where artists and clients feel at home, is something special. Whether you're in the industry, thinking about going into business with your partner, or just love tattoo culture, this one's for you.
Tune in, and go show The Funk some love!

Tinfoil Hats, Courtrooms, and What's Coming Next
Beth's birthday came with a theme, and the theme was conspiracy theories. We get into how the party came together, who committed the hardest to the bit, and which theory nobody could let go of by the end of the night.
Then things get heavier. We talk about where the court situation with grace as it stands right now, what the process has looked like from the inside, and how we're holding up while we wait. No details we can't share, but honest about the parts we can.
We close it out on the good stuff: what's coming up at NeoTrad Life this fall, new services we currently offer and upcoming apprentice tattoo opportunities, and a few things we've been sitting on that we're finally ready to talk about.
Chaotic, loving, and mostly held together with titanium. Come hang out.
