-TRUE TATTOO-

I know I usually post and update you guys on my work but I will also be updating you on some big important things that are going on in my life. Like I’ve said there’s been a lot going on and with both work and life. My original plan was to move back down to San Diego where I was born but now I’ll be going out to Long Beach. I ended up meeting a super special girl from Long Beach who is perfect for me - super chill, understanding, open minded, down to earth, enjoys being outdoors, artistic, crafty, a beauty, has a good ear for awesome music and has fun doing anything at anytime. We’ve only known each other for a few months and have now been together for 1. These pictures are from some of the awesome times we’ve had together in Long Beach and Monterey when visiting each other. Last time she came to visit I showed her around and had a fun time but the greatest thing about it was that we ended up getting matching anchor tattoos as a sign of loyalty and commitment through any hard times that are to come - shout out to my homie Glenn at An Olde Town Tattoo Parlour in Monterey for the work! Both of us have been in relationships that haven’t worked for one reason or another and we’ve come to a point where we know what we’re looking for in a person. We both feel something for each other that we’ve never felt before and we’ve decide build on what we have. I will be taking a “leap of faith” and moving to Long Beach at the end of May to spend more time with her and with our little family - Her, our pup Tank and myself. 

I was wondering how long do tattoos on the inside of your lip last?

Im not really sure on how long they last but your saliva does break it down and fade it out over time. One of my coworkers tattooed my lip and Ive had it for a couple years and its faded but still pretty visible. Sorry I didnt know exactly but I hope that helps

Hey where did you get the Fatal Pin Up Girl tattoo done? I love it

Thanks, glad you like it, its actually a tattoo I did on one of my friends a while back and we still havent finished it. I would’ve much rather done a Rebel8 pin up but oh well. All on the tattoos on my blog are pieces that Ive done unless Ive noted that. Thanks for checking it out

So Ive been away for a bit since I dont have internet access at my apt and I’ve been super busy with work and life. Im gonna try to update everything through my phone all at once and hope that it all turns out alright. Turns out that I wont be moving to SD after all, I’m actually planning on moving down to Long Beach instead. Keep you posted. Thanks for your time

Thinkin of changing them because theres a tattoo shop in Texas named True Tattoo, even though it meant me staying true to tattooing I dont want people to think that Im trying to rip off the name. I’ll keep you guys posted

Here are some pictures of a couple of tattoos I got to do for the last minute Hori Smoku tattoo event I did for what would’ve been Sailor Jerrys 101st birthday.

These are pictures of the Friday the 13th tattoo event we had at An Olde Town Tattoo Parlour in Monterey CA. Each artist came up with 3 designs which we tattooed on the first 13 people who came in the door for $13. Super fun event I got to be a part of thanks to my AOTTP family for giving me the awesome opportunity. 

Sorry for the shitty quality pictures

Pretty fun rose I got to draw up and tattoo on an elderly woman who walked in for a tattoo.

Waited a few months on my friend for me to finally tattoo this. Fun piece I was given full freedom to design - thanks Jessica
