NOTES
- Who is Scott Campbell, and how is he (along with Scab Shop co-founder Josh Hubberman) changing the trajectory of tattoo artistry through NFTs? [00:45]
- What is Scott's background? [01:46]
- For a tattoo artist of Scott's caliber, why is being booked for years in advance with a roster of A-list celebrities who want his work anathema to the reason he became an artist in the first place? [04:35]
- One of the major limitations faced by all tattoo artists, and how Scott and Josh aim to fix it using NFTs (in spite of Scott's initial dismissal of the idea). [05:42]
- From an archival perspective, NFTs immortalize traditionally ephemeral tattoo designs. [09:15]
- Scab Shop wasn't created to just solve Scott's problems. He envisions its benefits eventually transforming the entire tattoo industry. [10:18]
- What excites Josh about this project, and how did he get involved? [12:34]
- What will it mean to own a Shop Pass, and how does Scab Shop make sharing art a more intimate process -- for the artist and the patron -- than current Web2 platforms? [14:40]
- Artists currently on board for the launch. [16:44]
- How will season one drops work? [18:25]
- This project is limited only by imagination -- of which there's currently an abundance. One interesting idea: how collaborations might work. [19:24]
- How much will minting a Shop Pass initially cost, and when will they be available to the public? [21:00]
- Thoughts on the secondary market value of artwork for rendered tattoos. [21:30]
- Surprise tattoos? What a glorious idea! [22:47]
- Parting thoughts. [26:27]
