Welcome to the Tattoo Budcast, the hilarious podcast where tattoo artists and buds Sanae Garcia and Jimmy Jam blend their love for tattoos with their knack for storytelling. Broadcasting from their cozy tattoo shop, they bring you a unique and hearty dose of humor and unfiltered shop banter. Think of it as eavesdropping on a tattoo session, but with fewer needles and more laughs.
Each week, Jimmy Jam and Sanae tackle everything from the wildest tattoo requests they’ve ever gotten, to bizarre client stories, to deep dives into the culture of tattoos. Whether they’re discussing what happens when someone asks for a tiny dragon on their wrist (and it turns out to be the size of a toddler), or recalling the most cringe-worthy tattoo trends they’ve seen, it’s a perfect blend of humor, and real-life tattoo shop antics.
The Tattoo Budcast will also be featuring guest tattoo artists and the most interesting tattoo clients, listeners will feel like they’re right there in the shop. It’s a mix of sharp wit, irreverence, and surprisingly insightful takes on tattooing and life in general. Get ready for confessions, advice, funny shop mishaps, and stories that will make you laugh out loud (while maybe questioning your next tattoo choice).
Catch your buds at your weekly session, on the Tattoo Budcast.
HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - The TIGGLES : Inappropriate Costumes, Ouijis & Ghost Encounters | Ep. 101 | Tattoo Budcast
It’s that time of year again… the Buds are back for another Halloween special, and the Dreamland Art Co. crew is joining us again. Because being scared is more fun when you can watch your friends embarrass themselves too.
We cover all things Halloween, from costumes that have absolutely no business being sexy to Ouija boards. Some things should stay in the spirit world. Others should stay out of the lingerie aisle.
Then the crew shares some of their own bone-chilling stories before phoning a friend for what might be the scariest one they’ve ever heard. Usually, “you had to be there” ruins a story. This one makes us grateful we weren’t.
Turn the lights down, get comfortable, and remember: if you hear something halfway through the episode, that’s between you and whatever’s in your house.

THEE BUDDY LOVE (AND DRE) : Tattoo Content Creating & Staying Artistically Motivated | Ep. 100 l Tattoo Budcast
WELCOME TO THE 100TH EPISODE OF THE TATTOO BUDCAST! 🎉
The Buds are celebrating 100 episodes the only way they know how… by kicking things off with something that genuinely has everyone questioning their sanity. Honestly, making it to 100 episodes might be the craziest part.
And you can’t celebrate 100 episodes with just anybody, so the Buds brought in not one, but TWO very special guests: Buddy Love and Dre, everyone’s favorite silly tattooers!
The Buds get into how Buddy and Dre’s friendship started, how that friendship grew into Fast Times Tattoo, their popular San Diego tattoo shop, and how they figured out how to turn their friendship, shop life, and general nonsense into tattoo content people actually want to watch.
Who better to talk about tattoo content creation than two guys who have mastered the art of being incredible tattooers while simultaneously refusing to take themselves too seriously?
There are laughs, memories, questionable decisions, and maybe even a couple happy tears. After 100 episodes, the Buds are feeling sentimental… but don’t worry, not sentimental enough to behave.
So grab your Best Bud, raise a rinse cup, and come celebrate 100 EPISODES of the Tattoo Budcastwith Buddy Love and Dre. 🥂🎙️
Here’s to 100 down and a whole lot more bad decisions to go.

PSYCHOBILLY IS NOT DEAD: Fashion Trends, time travel, Bad Beef & Sobriety w/ BEAR | ep. 99 | TATTOO BUDCAST
This week on Tattoo Budcast, we sit down with Bear, host of the Beer With Bear Podcast, a show all about Psychobilly music and culture.
We met Bear after we casually announced that Psychobilly was dead on a previous episode and immediately got lit up in the comments. Turns out Psychobilly fans are very much alive, very passionate, and absolutely hate us. Bear reached out, had us on his show, and now we’re returning the favor.
We get into fashion trends that need to stay or disappear forever, a 100-year-old painting that may or may not show a dude holding a smartphone, some extremely questionable beef that made its way into the U.S., and the age-old tattooer argument: rotary vs. coil machines.
Then Bear opens up about his sobriety journey and drops some seriously wild stories from his past, along with some real wisdom he picked up along the way. So yes, we were wrong. Psychobilly is NOT dead.
