Artist manager and tattoo shop owner Aaron 'Tex' Finnin joins Rick Thorne for a behind-the-scenes episode. Raised in Dallas, he explains how he got the nickname Tex, how a brick of drumsticks turned into a guitar tech gig with Matchbook Romance and then their tour manager job, working for Oliver Peck and Kat Von D, and tour managing The All-American Rejects. He also talks about taking Oliver on his first Warped Tour, buying True Tattoo in Hollywood with Oliver in 2011, opening Buffalo Nickel Tattoo at the Legends Motorcycle Museum in Springville, Utah, running Monster Energy's tattoo program with Luke Wessman, working with Harley-Davidson, his True and Good Co. collective, and getting hit by a car in 2014.
