Ep. 55: Amy Zager: The Action Figure Glitter Pony

Ink Medicine

This is Ink Medicine's second to last episode of the year!
And I interview Amy Zager. I've been hearing her name and seeing her work for years, and finally we meet.
Amy does incredibly bright and colorful and dynamic work (think Lisa Frank in the 90's!). I see her work on my clients and I see my clients in her chair. We have complimentary styles that a lot of people who like my work also like her work in vice versa.
What she does is commonly called watercolor, but I think it's time for us to develop new language to talk about tattoo styles that don't fit into the traditional norms.
Amy is a pansexual femme, a mom, an award-winning artist. She was on Best Ink Season 3 back in the day and that's kind of what jump started her career. You'll hear us talking about it on the pod.
We talk shop and industry gossip a little, and I really hope you enjoy our conversation.
