Out with the old. In the the OLDER!
Scored this great set of pyling/channel marker lights from @woodlandgiant this weekend at @tikiagogoevent. Couldn`t help but put em in as soon as we got home. Really sets the mood of the driveway. Thanks again, homie!! 😎🏝🤙🏼
Rain or shine, Sunday Funday with the fellas worked out well.
Rained out car show turned into a good cruise to the @the_maikai_restaurant
Had a great time hanging.
Till next time. 🤙🏼🏝🍹

Tattoings direct and indirect influence on Tiki Pop Culture.

Get tattooed by Dave while he is here!! Trust me! Incredible tattoos from and Incredible guy.
Don`t miss the opportunity.

Aloha, and Happy Sunday!
For any and all who have the urge to party with some tropical-minded, rum drinking, Florida loving, Hawaiian shirt wearing tiki folk, here is your chance!
The weekend of April 4-6, you can catch me and my "Tiki Ted Talk" and the @tikiagogoevent in Orlando, FL.
My passion for tattooing and obsession with tiki pop culture collide!
Come listen to me ramble about my love for tattoo history and how it coincides with tiki bars, far and wide. From polynesian to port-of-call, tattooing has rich deep roots that inevitably found their way into tiki pop culture.
Tickets are still available for an incredibly fun weekend, filled with cocktails, bands, classes, marketplace, and some wild late night room parties!
If you`ve thought about going to one of these events, trust me. This is the one to check out!😎🤙🏼🍹🏝
I`m still riding the high from this past weekend. It`s been said by everyone that attended, but I must join in. An endless thank you to @claymontgomery @chopper_ftw @chingoflamingo and the rest of the family for putting on THE BEST convention I`ve worked in a very very very long time. Probably the best ever.
Everyone in the building had the same thing on their mind. TATTOOING! The love and passion for our craft was there. The magic was there. Old friends and new, I`m not sure anything could have made the weekend better.
I feel very honored and privileged to be included with such an amazing crowd of tattooers. This truly is the greatest "job" on the planet.
Gotta thank my road dawg @mikemillertattoos for coming along and for keeping my grumpy old ass in the loop with all the great young tattooers around. His passion for tattooing is stronger than anyone I know, and it rubs off on everyone he meets. (*rubs off🤣)
Our booth mate @tattoosbywoodard for the endless laughs and inspiration. Couldn`t have asked to work with anyone better this weekend. Funnest and coolest motherfucker there is!
All in all, this weekend reminded me that no matter how lame the new generation of tattooers can be, no matter how commercialized, regurgitated, and soft the tattoo industry has become, REAL TATTOOING STILL EXISTS! In fact, it thrives! This convention has really lit a fire under my ass.
The @cigarcitytattoofest is back, and better than ever.I`m alreadyy excited for next year!
"What happens at The Castle, stays at The Castle"
Thanks so much @dead.eyephotography for these awesome shots!
Find me making tattoos on the reg, at @vaticantattoodelray
