Circle of fire


Working with Seth on this piece-
A very personal story of 
family and the passing of time and souls through life and after.
Dedicated to carry ones who passed 
as a reminder of how precious our lives
and family are.

The skull houses these members.

One more sitting to go. Very excited about this one.
Seth plays a major role in bringing Capoeira and Bboying
in the cypher. He is recognized all over the world 
for his style. 

So we seal that by lacing him with that OG Soulsignature

POLY FLIP

A project I started in Washington about 
a year ago recently checked in and finalized the 
chutlug piece. This is a contemporary take on 
a traditional filipino headhunter suit.

The original motif is two sided. 
This would be one side.

Back up in da flow of things.
Moving to the bay was a big shift for me.
Unfortunately I had to lay some things down 
for a minute and reconfigure 
my time, money and energy
and redirect it to more important 
projects and just straight up life!

I been in the lab focusing 
on more music and writing heavy.
Up late just builden on the 
lyrics, songs, recording this album-
Been pouring my sprits 
into a mic device. 
to make it sound nice.

Been steady on the designs but  havent been leaking out any images.
But now comin round again. Tis the season to drop 
something fresh into the bigcartel acount.

So stay tuned for some stickers and 
shirts. thanks for 
all your support and attention.



Tattooing is a prayer

Tattooing is a prayer, a meditation for me.
When the timing is right and we on a flow
things will be as it is. Trust is key-
All my works are freehand. I don't own a stencil machine. 
But yes I want one. lol

Everyday I prepare my mind my body and soul 
to perform these works. Years of cultivation
and infinite hours of perfecting practicing 
reshaping inventing 
one tattoo at a time. 

All my work is original 
and all My teachers are legit! 
All my mentors are Great and legendary at what they do.
Most of all they are Real people who mean well and 
give back to their community.

I took an apprenticeship! and it sucked ass-
But what I got out of it was many life lessons
and I earned my right to tattoo with the best of them.
I stay humble and wise 
with the way I spend my energy and time.
I bless those who will
wear these marks with deep meaning
freely. 

I am inspired and happy and feel the rewards of my work,
when I get to tattoo people who are doing amazing things in the 
world. 
I feel they deserve and reflect my work! 
Im hoping each person I have tattood 
knows this.
Im hoping they wear that with pride 
but humble enough to carry 
integrity in they
hearts. 


When I die- 
Im hoping you remember all the 
meaning and intention I put into my own 
life that transfers into yours.
