Written By Michael Baldovino

After the tattoo expo at the Seattle Center, tattooers across Seattle received a notable amount of appointments to fulfill new client requests. Having entered the Seattle market recently, Worldwide Badass (WWBA), a tattoo company, has found their space in the Seattle market on the famous Pike Street in Capitol Hill. Calel Metcalf and Dario Rodgriguez, best friends and owners of WWBA, make statements on the state of the market and share some advice for new and upcoming tattooists, companies, and how they may see themselves moving into the Seattle community.
