I did Val’s hello kitty on her right hip about a year ago, at Tattoo Krew, in Kalihi.  Of course the shop moved, to Waipahu, then I moved to Soul Signature and thought that I had lost her forever as a customer… But, eating at Phuket Thai awhile ago, the best place ever, I was [...]

Today I wore a pin to work because I always give Lopeti a hard time about wearing his rastah pin.  So, in the spirit of Peti’s peace keeping and mellow mood, I decided to join him today in his pin-wearing and give him a break…. and he didn’t wear his pin.  Suckah.  Now because you [...]

Cute and sweet idea for a tattoo… Joy wanted to get a sunflower and three honeybees to represent her children and her garden (the one her husband planted for her)… She said that’s all for the arm and chest… I told her, mark my words, you’ll have a garden on your arm soon enough, and [...]

Yes… I’m talkin’ bout YOOOOUUUU!  Let’s be four… fourteen… seventeen…. again.

…So you could see exactly what Akihito sat through for 6 1/2 hours!  And still had the energy to smile!  I was the one that had to take the breaks, not him… (Thank you photographer for using a fish-eye lens so I look even huger!)

Jay… so pleasant, so stoked.  I know I want your tattoo finished as much as you!  Cause you know that we’re both excited about the finished product… It was really cool hearing that you read my blog everyday.  Makes me feel important :)… NEXT WEEK SATURDAY… ITS ON!  So here’s Jay, session two.

Kammy is my musical soulmate.  We listen to the awesomest music ever, FYI.  It’s always interesting hearing how people anticipate their first time getting tattooed.  Kammy told me before we started, “I really think I have the lowest pain-tolerance EVER.”  I told her that because she thought that, the tattoo would be a piece of [...]

I just wanted to know, I did it all without you.  And I hope you can live with that, although obviously, you have been.  Go fuck yourself.  Have a great day.
