What Instagram Doesn’t Show — A Real Talk with Joe Capobianco

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Under the Skin – The Tattoo Podcast, Ricardo sits down with legendary tattoo artist Joe Capobianco to talk about everything Instagram doesn’t show — the fading standards, the filtered tattoos, and the ego-driven rush to fame.

Joe gets real about:

• ​Why tattoo longevity matters more than likes
• ​The difference between being an artist vs. a tattooer
• ​His thoughts on coil vs. rotary machines
• ​The problem with apprenticeships, tattoo schools, and quick success
• ​Conventions today vs. back in the day — and why so many are failing
• ​What makes a tattoo truly timeless

Whether you're a young apprentice, a seasoned artist, or just love the culture, this one’s packed with truth, nostalgia, and lessons from 30+ years of tattooing.
