Inkin' up Chris from Karmaloop

Getting inked. Met up with Chris from Karmaloop / Kazbah... Super cool cat, he wanted to get a new tattoo a chest rocker, some reverse script on his upper chest. Chilled with him for a bit grabbed some sweet aloe juice from the Japanese grocery store and showed him a sneak peak at the cukui store.

Have a safe flight back to Boston homie and take care of your tattoo... Thanks again to Ryan from Breezy for linkin' us up! Good lookin' lil bro!

FINALLY!

Paintin' session...

Much respect to Aaron for rockin the office wall in the store. Marsh ink vapors filled the room and brought back memories of huffin the smells from nights past. Sam also painted the back walls and the bathroom window. Had to get them in before the Japanese Obon Festival this weekend. We are almost fininshed, getting the minor details done and the rest of the inventory, and the new line exclusively for  the store. Aug. 13 is coming up, and trying to add the last bits of flava...
