Summer in Vancouver

Summer has FINALLY arrived in Vancouver! You know what that means - the beach, long motorcycle rides, barbeques, beers on patios, and time to get more tattoos. Summer's booking fast, so contact the shop (604-669-6800) soon if you want to get in.

Check out this awesome Lions Gate Bridge tattoo that I did a couple off weeks ago and this cute li'l eagle that I did on my friend Chris...

Beer, the Bike & the Wife

So as some of you out there know, I've been having a hard time with drinking as of late. I do drink socially quite a bit - I like to have a good time. It doesn't affect my life or work and I don't drink at work, but it seems now that every time I have more than one drink I get sick. It tends to be if I drink a lot or a little so I'm cutting out drinking for a while.

On a brighter note, I did my BC Motorcycle Skills test today and passed! Now I have my novice license and am legally allowed to ride around during daylight hours. Since I can't drink anyway, I'll be spending most of my time riding as long as my bike is running.

Also my wife, Cara, is away out east right now and I miss her. It's a bit lonely over at the old homestead. At least for the next few days I have Junior and his old lady staying with me while they're moving into our neighbourhood...

Hot rod show photos, finally!

I forgot my camera when Junior, Hugues, Cara and I went to the car show at the Tradex last month, but Cara remembered her's. Here's some of her photos from that day. There's lots of photos, so be prepared to scroll!

NEW MOTORCYLE - YEAH!

Love me or hate me - you can review me on yelp now:

Also, I bought a motorcycle today! It's an '87 Sportster. Now all I need to do is learn to ride a bike again. It's been years since I've been on a motorcycle.

I had a good time with Hugues, Jr, and my wife (Cara) at the car show yesterday out at the Tradex in Abbotsford. We saw tonnes of rad cars. Photos coming soon...

FOOT TATTOOS & SAILOR JERRY

I did these fun neo-traditional foot tattoos of a lock and skeleton key on a pair of room-mates this week. We had a good time and the tattoos came out cool, if I do say so myself!



I also got to tattoo this awesome cupcake skull design on a foot this week. I was the foot guy at Adrenaline this week!



We got the new Sailor Jerry Flash Book, Vol. 3 in the shop this week. I love tattooing all that old timey flash, so come on down to Adrenaline on Tuesdays through Saturdays and get some fun traditional flash tattoos! They're bold , look good and hold the test of time.
