Uprise



















The process of creation begins with a blank slate.

Under the needle has been diligently working to bring forth the new shop!There are still lots of work ahead, but for the most part its here in its massiveness. The foundation is solid!

I am currently working at UTN 3 days a week. A dope place to work and a good place to sharpen steel. We got big things lined up. Art events and shows in the next month or two.
Located smack dab in the center of belltown.

Im working with the most versatile tattooists in the city of Seattle. Feel good about bring something to the table.Stay tuned for more updates on the constructs.

Soul Breathing


Getting back to center,the core of my spirit. Cultivating this deep well . Overflowing with goodness.
Blessing others and shedding light upon the path.

Drawing from experience as well as a deeper breath. Expanding to let my soul breathe. Study the steps. Moving surefooted through these steep hills> Reaching the most high altitudes . Giving all u got is the ultimate gratitude!

Extremely Focused!

Having Strength to uphold the Third E Y E vision

indipendence



I have few resolutions this year and it deals with the people who i surround myself with. I know life is a daily battle or it could be a pleasant blissful state of passing. We can all learn so much from others, especially our friends. With open arms and an open heart we welcome them, time and time again. There are times when we need to take another look at the friendships and ties we hold. People change and people grow, but some never change nor grow.

We all trying to elevate in this game a Life! While others tend to drag us down with them. Be weary of these leachers in the bleachers. There is a thin line between sharing our energy and being taken for granted. Many will take and take, but few will ever return the favor.

The hungry eyes always looking to get more. The motor mouths that crowd the air with noise, Revealing his empty mind only to find that he has nothing at all. Silence makes them uncomfortable. The stealer of ideas, the thief amongst the crew. The lost ones who tend to follow
and have no sense of direction. The exciter, the one who brags about what he or she dreams to do but in the end has nothing to show for. The liar, the one who boasts the most and and bullshits all day all the while we can absolutely tell that they are full of shit! Etc. the list goes on.

Friends! how many of us have them? Anyways my point is sometimes patience wears thin. That no matter how cool we keep it, how calm and collect we may be around these leaching preachers.
Its draining to be around them. In some cases they are often toxic to be around.

Keep your eyes pealed and im sure you will spot one or two.

Keep your circle tight and check your company! Elevate game.
Keep its streamline. Make it a point to drop the weight. Keep it light!

Always forward and shinning!
