A couple weeks ago, I did this fun dagger. I’ve had a long stressful day, so that’s all I have to say.. goodnight.

So I know I just posted about today, but I’ll add a little more on yesterday since Im still awake and still have some energy.

Saturday was a blast. Did some painting and some tattooing. A full shop all day! I had a blast tattooing Kary (@karyrockelli). Did a fun indian princess on her thigh the day before her flight back to Holland. I’ve been loving all these thigh requests! One of my favorite places to tattoo along with the calf, a good large area with easy skin to tattoo.

A few days before this got that epic piece she got this little sailor jerry butterfly:

this on All day we had visits from friends. This is my favorite week at the shop. The week of the Ink N Iron convention. We have friends from all over the world coming into down and visiting us before the convention on the Queen Mary. My homie Dan (@dansmithunknown) stopped by with his friends from Sacred Tattoo in New Zealand with a present. Dan and I made a poster last summer for a convention in Hollywood we did together with @todiefor. The poster was fun to make, and we still have some for sale! Here a quick look at it:

He brought by the original portrait of me he made for the poster, all nice and framed! Thanks again Dan!

Later that night I had the pleasure of tattooing American Pinstriper Skratch. Fit a nice Dan Higgs Druid on a dagger. Making him the latest S.O.o.S. member. Welcome to the clan!

Today was nice. A busy day at the shop with lots of friends, tattoos and some painting.

I outlined this fun owl on my friend Heather (@dannylissa). Had some good talks and put in some good tattoo time. She’s actually one of the reasons I changed my website name to “Los Life Ruiner”. Because I pretty much did that to her. You can ask her why, its actually pretty funny.

Uncle Allan and Mel (@princessinferno) are in the shop this week before the Ink N Iron convention on the Queen Mary this weekend. I love hanging out with these guys every year. Allan has been laying down some amazing tattoos this weekend like the Michael Jackson Thiller tribute you might be able to find on his blog sometime soon.

Then we all had some late dinner to finish the evening.

A few weeks ago I tattooed my good friend, photographer, and musician Mark Choiniere. He has a great collection of tattoos from some awesome So Cal artists.

I was fortunate enough to add this his lovely collection.

Along with having some awesome tattoos Mark is a great photographer and film maker. You can check out some awesome weekly videos with his friend Mike V shredding skate parks across the county HERE! Don’t forget to check out his band Throwdown and their latest release “Deathless”.
