This is absolutely incredible. I’m not a podcast guy (I’m old and have tattooed for 33 years & can’t even get into my own Netflix account 😂) but this conversation w/ Filip is different than anything I’ve ever heard. Really fantastic Andrew. I don’t know you, I have met Filip aand his wife& mother a couple of different times & this 2 part series absolutely is what my impression of Filip is like. You did an exceptional job of letting him talk with minimal interruptions, just enough to keep pushing the conversation forward. Exceptional and a really important part of history here, I had everyone at our studio (24 people)”All or Nothing Tattoo” listen to this in its entirety twice each. I believe his opinion is that important. Interestingly I came to so many of the exact same conclusions at 33 years of tattooing and could relate to every part of this. Especially the one client he could not work with, that happened to me w/ two different clients but I get along well with the other thousands of people I’ve worked on for hours and hours. Thank you for making this. I’m excited to travel to this small village and get tattooed now more than ever. Great Piece of art you made here that will last forever. Well done on both sides of the table here. - Brandon Bond.
Absolutely !! Much love and respect Brandon…
Always wanted to visit your shop, whenever I travel to US !
@@tattoosbyrishabh well come see us! We are in Atlanta GA
Perfectly said
Rad comment Bond. Good to see you out there online more often
Tattooing 38 , and I agree. Cheers
Hard to put into words how special this is, especially when such an eloquent and balanced master has just washed over your ears for over an hour, so will just say thankyou and congrats Andrew for documenting such an important stamp of tattoo history.
Filip is the wise wizard that Tattooer’s go to seek advice from on the top of the mountain. His type of experience in both life and tattooing are cohesively unmatched. He is a treasure.
One of the greatest interviews of any tattoo artist. Bits of history and knowledge from all the greatest artists.
Listening to this interview was such a pleasure. I've come to a deep love of tattooing over the years of getting inked, and my tattooer recommended your podcast. What a privilege to be able to listen to a legend like Filip Leu. He's so self-effacing, but really I don't think it can be overstated how generous he is to share 40 years of lived experience, careful thought, and love toward the craft. Fantastic approach on your part as well, to just sit back and listen with us instead of being a host who showboats and eats up the air. Leu's measured calm leaves me feeling of being settled and clarified after listening -- really a rare gift!
i am almost 60 and don't have a tattoo and don't watch podcasts. why am i watching this time consuming thing? it's an excellent ramble. that's why. thank you.
Thanks Filip for doing the interviews!
Thank you so much for the best interview i‘ve ever heard!!!
I will certainly listen to it 100 more times.
I feel like I just experienced the ultimate tattoo apprenticeship in just 3 hours. Or at the very least a semester of college in a philosophy of humanity class. Or maybe a little of both. Such a wonderful interview. I have to give you credit Andrew on your choice of questions. You really cover a vast plethora of subjects that truly needed to be covered in an interview with a person of Filips credentials, skills and history. I humbly applaud you for that. 👏
Its been a good month for feeling posi about tattooing.. between this and grimes' interviews w conn..i feel selfishly blessed in that. instead of being negative about being tattooed lately, hearing filip talk reminds me literally why many of us just want to be touched by the magick of tattooing. Thx for this interview. Listened 3 times thus far. Cheers. (Also, if anyone has ever seen a full filip leu suit, its a truly awesome thing. The power, the flow, all the things you wanna see in a tattoo.)
Probably the best tattoo podcast interview I’ve heard. Thanks Andrew 🙏🏼
Thank you Andrew, this is awesome.
This is pretty special man, thank you. It's perfect. Made me feel really good about my own place in tattooing and my own feelings about tattooing. Keep up the great work. Would love to hear an interview with Henning.
This interview was amazing! Both parts I loved it. Thankyou so much Andrew ❤❤❤ for your incredible work. Thankyou for creating this space to know Filip and his creative mind. I’m very inspired, Congrats and Best wishes from Ciudad de Panama! 🇵🇦 ❤
In my 30 years of tattooing, Filip has been a serious influence/legend since day one. Thank you for making this. Great to hear this from such a great mind! Wonderful interview!!
Super grateful for these Andrew and Filip!!
Thank you, to the both of you!
Awesome interview!❤
Thank you so much for this! I didn’t know how much I needed to hear Filip’s words and wisdom again.
Thank you again and again ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you both for doing this. Great stuff
Glad you enjoyed it!
The first 5 second of this video made me pause for second. It's so true.
Thanks for putting this together man. This is such a good watch for anybody in the industry.
This has been one of the best interviews I’ve ever had the pleasure to listened to, I’m really grateful for both of you, so much to digest, thank you so much ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve learned more from my tattoo artist than almost anyone else. It’s good to have such kind words from the elders so kids like us plan our sleeves better. thanks from Salt Lake City ☮️❤️
I loved every second of this. Thank you! Cheers from northern germany.
It’s funny when he talks about jumping from step one to three in the drawing process … I found I’ve gone back to what I call “analog drawing” on paper … even a small sketch pad to get an idea out or work it out … but it does give the organic affect that tablets cannot recreate what so ever …. Drawing in paper forces you to draw and redraw till you get what you want out of it … ! Loving the podcast and can’t wait for more !
So happy I found this! Nice to hear his story and point of view!! Great interview!!
Ayeeeeooooo we back for part 2
Filip leu is a tattoo god, amazing podcast thank you
Beautiful absolutely beautiful!!!
Just finished both parts. What a great conversation and great dude to interview. I’m 9 months into an apprenticeship and feel like I gained a great insight into some of the history and culture around tattooing as well as some food for thought when it comes to our relationship with the client. Look forward to more conversations of a similar manner. Cheers
been looking forward to this. Thanks Andrew and Filip
Thank you
Thank you for this man, cheers from Brasil!!!
So much knowledge and wisdom dropped in these. Much to be learned at any level of tattooing. Thank you for making this happen.
Thanks for this, such an important and need words by one of the masters in our craft.
We are lucky to be standing shoulders of giants in this industry, glad you were able to record this for all of us to enjoy.
Thanks Andrew, great work
Amazing! thanks for this!
Glad you liked it!
I loved these last two episodes. Thanks a lot for your time and effort Andrew and Filip!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this, as somebody that has recently begun the tattooing journey and felt somewhat let down by some of the realities of our industry, it's nice to hear one of the all time greats share his perspective. It was incredibly motivating to hear his passion for the craft after all these years.
PS - The AI generated background was some perfect comedic timing.. a nice change of pace from the insight Filip is constantly throwing down.
incrivelmente inspirador, a forma como ele enxerga a arte e a visão do artista em relação à sociedade, é um mix de sociologia, filosofia, arte e psicologia... é a vida como um todo, muito muito foda !
saudações do BR 🇧🇷, Legend !
This is quality tattoo knowledge and history for who's really into tattoo and also helps somebody grow by learning some unwritten rules about this wanderful profession
Yessss thoroughly enjoyed that🐲♥️👁️♥️🐲 thanks a million
Thank you for sharing this discussion 🙏🙏🙏
WHAT an awesome listen. I can't get over him saying how tattoos done with pens, are taking so much more time to complete, I just tattooed a few clients (That have work from other artists) and they sat for what I think is way too much time. One of them was black and grey bats, on the chest. The tattoos were good but 3 sessions, for detailed bats that don't even have solid, dark, rich black in them seems wrong. I feel like I could do the same thing, with my coils on half the time.
Watch this being played in tattoo university 20 years from now.
This was like a dream, what a time to be alive. Next do Horiyoshi III please if isn't to much to ask.
That is probably too much to ask, unfortunately
Thats so cool that equal vision is a sponsorship!

I liked and subscribed…all for the nookie.
That’s what’s up.
And you can take that cookie.

🙏
amazing interview, super happy i discovered your podcast! i wanted to give you a follow and leave a comment here on youtube as well. You should consider having Alex Reinke (Horikitsune) on, great guy, super interesting stories and outlook on tattoing
Welcome aboard!
turn on subtitles please
Working on it! Thanks for the nudge
There is an auto-translate option in your playback settings, are those ever accurate enough to be helpful?
The ice cream teaster
The dream 🤤
Please guest guy aitchitson
the crux of the buttox :D
8:25 most likely here, he's talking about Nissaco
Squash Drive machines are good first ones that went so good but the ones I'm using now work great and I can tattoo quite fast with them the sadly stop tattooing overall internet garbage Gangsta shitt
So nice made my week
As I have been tattooing 30 years, this is very refreshing and what I needed. All my mentors are dead
no still not subscribing nor liking this channel. the excessive ads is annoying. ruined the flow of filip leu interview.
Just skip them, it easy. Someone has to pay for these episodes to get made, and it’s certainly not you.
Also, you are already subscribed to this channel, so why lie in a comment?
@@andrewstortzyou are wild bro 😂
Bro, you out of pocket. Get YT premium and quit being a spoiled cry baby 😭👶
You actually took time out of your day to announce your disdain for sponsors and somehow punish this guy and Filip leu by saying you’re not subscribing but you watched both parts? 😂😂😂😂😂 I imagine you’re a very unhappy person and I hope that you find peace and happiness in a world that gives zero f*cks about your subscription. You could have created this monumental conversation w/ Filip Leu too! Instead you’re throwing rocks at it from afar. Go accomplish something instead of insulting someone who did. You have the same 24 hours in a day so make something, anything and I promise I won’t go on it and be a hater. - Brandon Bond.
THANK YOU!
GREAT
