088: A Conversation With My Tattoo Artist, Andy Pho of Upside Tattoo

Today, I take a unique approach with this episode and sit down with my tattoo artist, Andy Pho of Upside Tattoo in Hutto, Texas. We chat through how Andy integrates mindfulness into his art through his 'High Frequency, Low Energy' approach, crafting a serene and customer-focused environment. Learn about his inspiring journey, from family heritage to profound experiences as a monk, and how these shape his unique tattooing philosophy.


Andy shares insights on mastering his craft and the balance of art and communication, including the symbolic 'black shirt versus white shirt' styles in his work. Emphasizing effective communication and listening skills, he reveals how understanding clients' desires and precise questioning enhance the tattooing experience, leading to meaningful, high-quality results and enriching client relations.
