Welcome to an INKspirational conversation with Jaime Salcedo – a talented tattoo artist, a firefighter, a Brooklyn native, and the founder of an innovative numbing cream product he just launched called Painless Picasso.

Jaime is dedicated to using all his talents to serve others. With 13 years of experience as a tattoo artist, seven years as a New York City firefighter, and the founder of a product to help more folks get tattoos pain free, he has truly made a difference in people's lives. 

While we were recording this interview from Jaime’s firehouse, the alarm went off and Jaime had to immediately stop talking and become a first responder! 

Fortunately, we were able to pick up where we left off later in the day and finish this wonderful conversation.

Jaime got his first tattoo at the age of 16, began his tattoo artist journey at the age of 17, and his passion for tattooing grew from there.

You’ll hear the fascinating story of Jaime’s unconventional journey into the tattoo industry, and how he honed his artistic talent by watching and learning from his mentor and other artists. 

Jaimes also shares why he was compelled to develop and launch Painless Picasso, an all-natural numbing cream that numbs the skin before tattooing, piercing, waxing, and micropigmentation. 

Listeners, if you've ever hesitated to get a tattoo due to the fear of pain, Jaime's product might just be the solution you've been looking for!
