Chris from L.A came in last week and wanted some latin script. That was his first tattoo and he sat really well.

Sorry for the pic, my Canon is still in trans(h)it somewhere……

Finally ! Red Bull has updated the SoapBox race page. Our (winner) sketch is uploaded under the FAF team. FAF is a little “club” we founded some years back with some friends. The 4 crew members all sport a matching tattoo…..good times !!

Our theme is Tacky Tourists and the soapbox will be the Pensacola Beach sign. (2nd ugliest sign in the US after the Las Vegas one…..true story)

Send us some love and watch the race Oct 25th in Denver, Colorado !!

Other than that, I just received some Stable Colors. Can’t wait to try em out.

I also lost a few bucks at the casino tonight. sucked.

So, this is the 1st post using my 2nd MacBook. <—- weird

If you can help, here are the symptoms of the old one:

- I was browsing the web, listening to music and scoping tattoos….next thing you know: beachball of death
- had to power down the whole thingy
- stays on the Apple Logo and the grey wheel
- wheel keeps spinning, me keeps wondering, macbook keeps not bootin..
- can not safe start it
- can not CD start it
- can not command panel ( command prompt thingy )

what do i do now ?

I’ll give you a free 5 hour tattoo if you can tell me what to do. No joke.

Any help would be appreciated

my MacBook, which has been awesome to me for the past 2 years, decided to die today. It started to have trouble to connect to the wifi…..trouble to charge, trouble to almost anything.

I m sad but you know what? I went to the apple store earlier today to see if u could overhaul the thing, and it died 3 hours later. Maybe it’s a sign ?

Now please send me money for a black one. Cheers.

So…some of you have been visiting my blog for a while now….maybe you’ve noticed the uber crapiness (sp?) of the pictures lately.

well, thanks for the iPhone 3G, all my pics are blurry, faded, glary and much more.

As a tattoo artist, my portfolio is my life, my income, my resume. So I decided enough was enough so I just (2 mins ago) ordered a sweet Canon Digital rebel XTi with 8 gigs of memory.

Haaaaaaaaa…….I am DONE with crapptastic pictures of sometimes good tattoos.

Anyways, this butterfly is one of Pam’s 3. I swear in front of god, and you, that the orange is much brighter in person and that the white actually shows….

I did 2 more but used my boss’ camera to snap them since they were really well done.

I’ll also put the reference pictures along with the tattoos so you can juge for yourself.

Sorry about my miserable spelling, French is making me mix everything up. Gay.

My bro wanted some ink for some time now. He chose this Pop Art flower from some artist that i can’t remember the name of…

Stressful to ink family, but this was really cool too.

First client that let me do some script. they usually ask for some boring font. i was stoked.

keep it that way.

First off, Eikon came up with a kickass power supply. weirdly enough, mine blew up this past thursday (it’s most def a sign from god…).

Second, i will be traveling to the states sometime in october 08. i will be in Pensacola, Fl and then in Denver for the Red Bull SoapBox Race. it’s gonna be good times since our team will be “racing” !!!.

if you wanna get tattooed in Pensacola, email me, i will be tattooing at 3 Saints Tattoo.

Third, i met an awesome girl last night ! (wish me luck)

that’s it for the update.

oh! I am looking for clients to tattoo for free. my design….no questions asked. thx guys and have a kickass week.

rose on pamela’s bacl

Originally uploaded by aivanne

why not…..i had fun.

this is my first half sleeve. Yoann trusted me to do that on him. he pretty much let me do whatever i wanted to. 4 hours so far i think. 5 more to go. i like it

so yeah after the last session i decided it was time to re-order some spare parts and a new Soba liner.

well, too bad or me cause Aaron Soba and Seth decided to take a hiatus concerning WHI…..I just emailed Dank to see if he had a liner already made.

i really don’t like that crap, makes me feel lost. WHI was a very good supplier. sad.

in my long island ice tea please!!!

Bloggin from iPhone 3g is fun, I’ll tell you that much bro.
