Finally got around to getting something done on the shop apprentice
Coverup of some old biker tattoos on my aunt. Not long after we finished the tattoo, her sister Theresa (my other aunt) passed away. And Theresa’s favorite flower in the whole world? Red Roses.

Just got home after a journey to the Pacific Northwest to attend my baby brother’s graduation. Who knew that the little hellion that used to sleep with a bag of holy cards and knives under his pillow would graduate from the University of Washington with a degree in Bio Engineering….
Me and my brother at the first Starbucks (we’re lame). Can you believe that this kid once cut off a huge chunk of my hair so that he could try out his new Swiss Army knife scissors??!
My pops and his spawn in front of the fountain at the University of Washington. You can’t see it too well, but there is a huge rose garden in full bloom surrounding the fountain- it smelled amazing.
Stopped by Madame Lazonga’s all lady tattoo shop on our way to Pike’s Place Market
Sooooo many fresh flowers
Kick ass signage
Apparently this monkfish had a long string attached to it’s tail, which could then be yanked at will by some jackass fishmonger on the other side. Tugging on the string causes Mr. Monkfish to jerk up and open his gross fishmouth, thus scaring the shit out of me and making me almost murder a fishmonger.
Eeeeeewctopus
This is the most glorious, most massive sculptural homage to the squid that I had ever seen. Someday, I will be commissioning one for my living room.
Our little crew decided to take the ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island to see if we could spot some orcas. I had no idea, but a ferry is really like a city bus that floats- kinda gross and full of screaming babies. No whales, though! We watched the water for what seemed like forever, but apparently you only have a 1 in 5 chance of actually seeing one. The spectacular view was worth every second of being there!
Aw, it’s wedding season! This past weekend I went to my friend Leo Gonzales’s wedding to his lovely lady, Lauren. Leo is one of the owners of Stay Gold Tattoo in Albuquerque- he’s an amazing artist and is currently exhibiting his paintings at the Private Collections Gallery in Santa Fe. They are definitely worth checking out!
This crazy dude wore tight-ass leather pants to his wedding! Here’s Leo lookin’ classy and me looking tipsy……and it looks like our friend Danno from Immaculate Tattoo just had to poke his epic beard into the photo…
Logical Nonsense got together to play Leo’s wedding, and holy hell did they put on an awesome show! The groom even got to sing a few songs with them….
All in all, not a bad start to the wedding season- I’ll take a rock show and PBR over quiche and bridesmaid dresses anyday!
