Dan Lorenzo: You recently opened your own shop. The other day I was speaking with your former shop owner,David Osorio and he told me you guys are still tight. I thought industry protocol was such that you must go to war with your old boss as soon as you announce you're opening your own shop?

Jimmy Inks: I think Dave and I treated each other as friends before “employee/boss,” which helped us out. He’s been nothing but helpful every step of the way. I always ask him for advice when I'm unsure of something and he’s always been there to answer.

DL: Was there a specific moment when you were younger that made you want to become a tattoo artist?
