Mat Franklin: You Never Forget Your First…

Your first tattoo, that is. This week Whiskey Business went to TAT FRANKLIN and Dino got his first tattoo at 63 years of age and the whole procedure and conversation is on this podcast in real time, accompanied by a bottle of Master Distiller #1 from Jack Daniel’s (after I signed the paperwork granting permission.) Granted, Dino’s first tattoo wasn’t too elaborate or too intricate but it was appropriate: the molecular formula for whiskey. Mat picked out a cool manual typewriter font as well and Dino collects manual typewriters, so there was a lot of serendipity going on with this procedure. Give a listen or better yet- a view on YouTube and watch the whole thing unfold. Get answers to questions you may have. Hear some outlandish tattoo stories, and watch Mat Franklin, a true master of his craft take you through it all. Many thanks to Mat and his wife, Liz and Tat Franklin. They say tattoos are like potato chips and you can’t have just one. That may be true. Dino is already thinking of the next one.
