Allow us to introduce you to Tiny Tattoo Sessions, your new favourite YouTube series where tattoos, music and interviews collide.
What do you get when you combine tattoos, interviews, and live music? Tiny Tattoo Sessions!
Hosted by the legendary Manuela Gray, tattoo artist to rock stars the world over, and fuelled by Fokof Lager, Tiny Tattoo Sessions sees Manuela in her studio located on Cape Town’s Harrington street — her most natural habitat — with her trusty tattoo machine in hand, tattooing away at some of your favourite local musos, asking them the real questions while they have their guard down.
But that’s hardly all, as Manuela’s studio doubles as a stage, showcasing every artist performing acoustic renditions of two of their tracks.
Think: Hot Ones meets NPR Tiny Desk.
