This week I chat to my good friend (and fellow x-files enthusiast) Jessica Sharville. Although Jess is a successful illustrator in her own right she also manages a tattoo shop part time. She had some interesting perspectives on how people get through the tattoo process and how it's often useful to have someone like her around in the shop to keep clients calm and motivated through their sessions. We also touch on the importance of the kind of energy created in a shop and how that can impact a clients experience. You can check out Jess' amazing illustrative work on instagram @jessicasharvilleillustration and also the shop she works in @tattooworkshopbrighton.
