Retro Dodo #084 - What It's Like Being A Viral Pokemon Tattoo Artist

62 min • 17 februari 2025

In this episode of the Retro Dodo Podcast, I chat with Matsy the Pokémon Tattooer, a tattoo artist from Dublin, Ireland who has become a social media sensation thanks to his amazing gaming tattoos and pop-culture mashups. We spoke about finding inspiration through retro games, how Pokémon shaped us as children, a failed X-Factor audition, a Pokémon Go addiction, and much more!
