These pieces were apart of our Soul Signature family/The Manifest  (and the famous Honozoolu, gracing us with his awesome photos for the show).  I know it was months ago, but, at some point, it was tattooing vs. drawing/painting.  Got so see more of the “regulars” if you know what I mean… I spy with my [...]

SORRY EVERYONE!  I’m out of the hospital, and indefinitely, may or may not be back in the shop this upcoming Monday.  I apologize to everyone, and I’m so grateful that everyone has been so patient!  I will report back ASAP to let everyone know what’s up with me for the next week… Stay tuned my [...]

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.

Last week I had the opportunity to shoot with two super awesome photographers from Hawaii… Mark Kushimi, art director and photographer for Contrast Magazine (www.contrastmagazine.com), and Lewis Harrington, owner of Harrington Photography (www.lhphawaii.com).
Mark Kushimi— your boy Lucky Olelo will be featured in next months Contrast Magazine!  So we took a ride on a lazy Sunday [...]

So, I REALLY wanted to be in denial for my 24th birthday which took place on Saturday, May 15.  Took off work to hide in a hole and hope that I could go back to 16.  Haha.  Even took my birthdate off facebook and myspace in hopes that no one would remember.  BUT, it’s kinda [...]

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! [...]
