The Inkaholics

1001 Troubles Studios•theinkaholics.podbean.com

Fredd Chino is a rock star with no social life, because all he does is tattoo, draw tattoos, book tattoos, and is basically obsessed with running his tattoo shop 1001 Troubles Tattoo. But lurking deep beneath the surface is a germophobic superstitious Native American who knows all of life’s absurd questions and is afraid to answer them. Along with his business partner Michelle, The Inkaholics is a darkly comedic podcast about bravery in the face of getting up in the morning, taking your meds, and scratching cartoons into the skin of well paying customers.

The Inkaholics | Ep. 22 | The Weed-o-verse

COME SMOKE UP WITH US THIS EPISODE! This week was a bit off-the-hip. The mics weren't plugged in properly and Fredd and Misshell lost about 30 minutes of footage. After the producer narrowly escaped with his job intact, the gang lit up a joint and re-filmed. They go over some fresh news involving Black Alien Project and his elective surgery to remove some *ahem* body parts that were hindering his transformation. They talk about cellphones and the future of the metaverse and what it means for the...

Episode 20 | Re-boot |

It's been a long hiatus. But we're officially back with a slick new studio, producer, and we're finally doing things right! I took a long break after I decided I couldn't do the podcast in the capacity that I wanted to at the time when we ended back in March. SO I wanted to make a comeback with a dedicated podcast schedule and I'm wicked excited to share with you our afterhours shop shoot-the-shit with all of you.
