FYI… Kaiser Hospital = NO DEALS.  I apologize to everyone that I had to reschedule due to a stint at the hospital.  I had recently been put on a new medication that had some kind of crazy synergistic reaction to an existing medication and totally fucked my shit up.  Felt like DEATH.  So I have [...]

As May comes to a close, and June fast approaches, I realize just how busy I’ve been.  I remember fearing May to come because I wasn’t prepared to turn twenty four.  Then, in a blink of an eye, it’s done.  Things have been really crazy, but I’m thankful that I can wake up everyday and [...]

Lori had contacted me waaaaaaaay back in September.  She had told me she was coming to Oahu in May and wanted to set something up.  At first, I was like, “Maybe she’ll lose interest in the upcoming months.”  Months and months went by and Lori still kept in touch, making sure I’d be able to [...]

Summer is here and the demand for tattoos has gone through the roof!  I am booked solid, day and night, and next week will start the seven days a week craziness!  A lot of my Tattoo Krew clients are finding me at Soul Signature and I’m trying my hardest to fit them in, because man, [...]

Your boy, my man… Lucky Olelo.  Making it big on Hypebeast.com and Cloutonline.com with Morals Fiber!  He’s mine bitches so don’t even try… Haha.  I’m super stoked.  Believe me… the hours he’s spent devoted to making something more of himself, more than just another tattoo artist… always pushing, always dreaming, always executing the next step.

Although I keep forgetting to schedule a damn day off, I’ve really been enjoying the tattoos my peoples have been asking me to do.  Hehe.
Larraine… we went to high school together, had the same AP classes, and for some reason I always thought she hated me.  Come to find out, she thought I hated her! [...]

…As I’ve said time and time again, I’ve been so lucky to have amazing customers, ones that make me laugh, smile, think, reflect, be amused, entertained, elated, cheered up, and just set the tone for my day or week.  So lucky.
Poor Kelly had the flu the first time her appointment was scheduled, so I’m glad [...]

This past few weeks have been pretty craaaaaaaazy as far as booking goes.  My back it killin’ me, haha.  Also, it was craaaaaaazy because I had craaaaaaaazy customers!  Seriously, everyone is going HUGE, it’s awesome.  Why not right?
I tattooed Ratanha about a year ago, then out of the blue, she comes in and is like, [...]

Chee hooo for fellow Kamehameha peer and friend.  We have our reservations on subjects of the Kamehameha sort, hehe.  My steady client along with his lil bro Leyo, my boys from Kalihi.  I’m pretty excited about this piece, approved and collaboed by legendary graffiti writer KIROS.  Definitely outside of the box as far as writing [...]
