Tattoos and travel with Josh Schneider, artist extraordinaire
Mild-mannered tattoo artist and DJ, Josh Schneider, is one multifaceted guy. I first met him at Coach & Horses, a bar on Sunset Blvd. in LA, that features DJ Jazzy S spinning 80s hits (and yes, I made that moniker up…luckily Josh doesn’t know where I live—hee hee) on Thursday nights. This event is known as Technoir to the tavern denizens. By day, he artfully wields a mighty tattoo wand. I’m sure the term “needle” is more accurate, but, oh wait…I almost passed out. (If you are interested in having one or more tattooos applied to your person, Josh is your guy.

What foreign country would you like to visit and why?
I would most like to visit the U.K., specifically England because English culture has influenced so much of my life between music, fashion, film and attitude. I’m listening to Madness as I write this actually!
What is your favorite vacation destination? Please list your most memorable travel moment. (Tricky Josh consolidated these questions…please, read on)
My favorite vacation destination is also the home of my favorite travel memories—Australia! if you have not been “down under” yet, I couldn’t recommend a better place to explore! Some of my favorite memories were white water rafting and petting a ‘roo, koala and a wombat! My favorite moment was quite simple actually—sitting on my best mate’s back porch, drinking Aussie rum, listrning to Men at Work and watching a thunder and lightning storm. It was really quite beautiful.
What is your favorite weekend getaway? Do you take snacks? If so, what kind?
My favorite weekend getaway would have to be San Fransisco. I’ve been there about a dozen times, mostly getting tattooed. Does Zanax count as a snack?
Are you a hotel or hostel kind of guy?
I prefer staying with friends. I like planning some of the trip, because usually i work half of the trip and then do whatever during my free time.
Thanks Josh!
