#254 - Interview with mixed-media artist Ama Agyemang

New York grit meets artistic flow. Ama Agyemang opens up about leaving behind civil engineering. Finding tattooing through sheer persistence. What it really takes to survive as an artist in Brooklyn. From drawing at a Blink Fitness front desk to tattooing on fake skin. Even their own body, Ama built a portfolio the hard way and that grit is what got them through the door.

We dive deep into hustle culture, what it means to stand out as a New Yorker in Texas. Why tattooing is more than ink it’s ritual, connection, and energy. Exchanged between artist and client. Ama doesn’t just talk about technique, but about smell, sound, and spirit art. As something lived, not just practiced. Their story is proof that passion pulls you forward even when the paycheck doesn’t.
