The extremely hospitable gentleman and saint, Kirk Boutte was one of our favorite interviews. Could it be because he wined and dined us in true #fattyeats style? Possibly, but mostly because of his candor and wisdom during this interview.

Kirk has been operating Effum for over 15 years to this day and is firmly entrenched in the community of Baton Rouge. His shop is a reflection of the cultural influence this industry can have on people, not just by marking their bodies and piecing titties, but by genuinely connecting with people and enriching their customer experience.
