Prison Tattoos with Larry Normile

Kail sits down with Larry Normile owner of Artistic Additions in Dover, Delaware for a conversation that starts with tattooing and turns into something so much bigger. Larry opens up about learning to tattoo as a teenager, how tattoo culture has changed over the years, and why he’s passionate about shifting the judgment people still carry around visible ink.

The heart of the episode is Larry’s groundbreaking work inside one of Delaware’s largest prisons, where he’s teaching inmates a real tattoo apprenticeship complete with education on hygiene, bloodborne pathogens, regulations, technique, business basics, testing, and documented hours. Larry breaks down what it takes to qualify, what the studio looks like behind the walls, and why the program is about more than tattooing it’s about rehabilitation, reentry, and giving people a path forward that actually sticks. Along the way, Larry shares his own story from foster care and juvenile detention to prison and ultimately rebuilding his life. It’s raw, hopeful, and a reminder that people are more than the worst thing they’ve ever done.
