Man, I am sooooo utterly blessed to have crossed paths with the people that I have through tattooing.  ESPECIALLY our brothers at Humble Beginnings, and the rest of the San Jose family.  Not only, as I have mentioned over and over again, does the SJ fam push us, inspire us… but never cease to keep [...]

A new year, another art show!  Check the flyer… Soul Signature is teaming up with the magnificent Honozooloo for a spectacular shindig at the Manifest for the month of April.  Works will be up for this upcoming First Friday (next week, mark it down in your calendars!) and we will be there rubbin elbows, but [...]

I know I know, this has been the last update in FOREVER.  So I suck, yah yah.  Haha.  Just been swamped since we all got back.  Lucky, Jessico and I have been holding up the fort at SS for the past few weeks, while Peti and Aisea were in California… Peti returned last week, so [...]
