Tattoo Art can be found all over the world. The various designs from different cultures and times are fascinating from traditional Maori Moko and Pacific Tatou to Russian sailor tattoos.

Brent runs Jackson Street Tattoo in Petone and employs four other tattoo artists. He has travelled all over the world working in different studios and working at tattoo conventions. In this podcast hosted by Dan Wilkinson, Brent talks about running his own tattoo business, working with Maori and Pacific design and telling stories through tattoo art.
