Had the pleasure to speak to a gentleman who's upheld the tough NY style of tattooing thats been on the streets for decades.
Ladies and gentlemen... the return of everyone's favorite Neighborhood Knucklehead. Tattooer at "R&D Tattoo" in Queens, Singer for "Caught In A Trap" and host of the "Neighborhood Knucklehead" Podcast... Rich Fie! This episode felt like it went by in 15 minutes. By the end, you'll hear that we could've easily gone for another two hours. Always entertaining and fun to talk to. Especially when we start talking about his fear of music that even mentions the devil, Ouija Boards, nature... yes, nature and our love of mafia movies. A lot of knucklehead nonsense for sure! Enjoy this one! Respect.
Rich Fie is joined after hours at the shop by Carina Novello, Tony Kaplan & Shan Siren in what was supposed to be a Christmas Spectacular... which quickly devolves into talks about slipping into multiverses, proper terms for men’s undershirts, anxiety, Christmas movies and haunted toys.

Rich Fie is joined after hours at the shop by Carina Novello & Shannon NeedleSiren to talk about the guido culture they grew up around. They talk about what parts they escaped and which parts they still embrace. As most NK podcasts that have an all tattooer panel, the episode shifts into a lot of tattoo talk. Shannon blesses us with an impromptu opera performance. Really fun time...check out Carina and Shannon and get tattooed by them!

Joined today, from “R & D Tattoo”, iconic NYC tattoo artist Rich Fie. Rich and I talk all things New York and his obsession with his native borough of Queens. Rich tells us about how he left corporate America to pursue his dream and why traditional tattoos will never go out of style. Rich is also the lead singer of punk rock band “Caught in a Trap”, we talk about his musical influences, CBGB and the role music played in his upbringing. Being a native New Yorker we talk about disappearing NYC, hipsters moving in, problems of gentrification and hanging out on 42nd street and St. Marks. Not only a lover of NYC history, but a known tattoo historian, we hear about the OG, Tony Polito tattooing when it was illegal, praise for Ed Hardy and about his memorabilia collection. I find out if he’s ever spelled stuff wrong while tattooing, and why athletes have horrible tattoos. From his own podcast “Neighborhood Knucklehead” to getting ejected from Shea Stadium by Donald Trump.Check out Fie’s links here and go get inked up!!!
