The big East Coast snow storm kept us from traveling to Philly and recording all the episodes we had planned, so we're presenting to you a collection of stories from all of the episodes featuring the legendary Scott Sterling. Scott has been making machines and presenting seminars for a very long time. He's well traveled and has a vast amount of experience in the tattoo industry. So enjoy these clips taken all the way from the beginning of NLJBS, across six different episodes in the last few years. And don't forget to check out Shop Talk on youtube.

It's a full episode with Alley Cat Tattoo's very own veteran: Mr. Chris Porter. The man with all the names. Hear Nick list 'em and check out all the fun history in this episode. There's a lot of discussion of beginnings and old shops and the early days of Alley Cat. Plus some great hip hop history lessons thrown in. It's always great to hear these two together, so when you're done head on over to youtube where they are joined by Andrew Conner on Shop Talk and you'll be blown away by the beautiful tattoos they discuss on every episode.
