Ep 111.”Time of Day” (Part 2 of our Interview with Derek Hartmann)

Derek Hartmann (Derock to his friends) is a listener and now, a guest of T.A.D. We loved hearing his journey and what inspires this new face in the community. It was so easy to work with Derek in regards to podcasting that we can imagine that it's a wonderful experience to collaborate with him on a tattoo. Moreover, Derek has an aim to always be gracious and kind with future artists; He's had to start his career amidst a pandemic, lockdowns, supply issues... so he knows the hard-knocks well when it comes to pursuing passion.

Derek works currently out of Art and Soul Tattoo Gallery in New Glarus, WI. He's most into Neo Traditional as a style in tattooing and uses music as artistic inspiration. If you want to know a very current apprenticeship story, Derock is here to tell you his path in tattooing over the last few years.  

Make sure to follow Derek on IG and keep an eye on this growing talent.
