THE KING OF HALLOWEEN TATTOOS: Living for the Future, Sturgis & Punk Rock | Ep.97 | Tattoo Budcast

This week on Tattoo Budcast, we sit down with Shaun Kama, better known as the “King of Halloween Tattoos.”

Shaun is a tattooer, artist, musician, certified horror expert, and author of three books. He takes us back to the early ’90s and talks about breaking into tattooing at Mark Mahoney’s legendary Shamrock Social Club, sharing stories from a completely different era of the tattoo world.

We also get into the personal side of Shaun’s journey, including learning to let go of the past, embracing growth, and keeping his focus on what’s ahead. He tells us about running the tattoo program at Sturgis Motorcycle Fest and what goes into bringing tattooing into an event on that scale.

Then we close things out with Shop Talk, where Shaun shares what might be the craziest punk rock tour story we’ve ever heard.

Tattoo history, horror, punk rock, personal growth, and one hell of a story to close it out. This episode has a little bit of everything.
