Kava Roots

Sharing a bowl of kava cements friendships and settles unrest. It is a sign of welcome and peace. After a long day of tattooing, my wifey and i drove to Martinez to hang out with some friends from Hawaii. J-Boog, Skew from Wash House, and Aisea from Soul Signature Tattoo and some fam and friends came out to support Ata before the start of his traditional Tongan peka tattoo.

Art & Sole

SJ Fam hosted its second annual "Art & Sole" event, a shoe charity and concert. The event took place outdoors in the classy and sassy Hotel Valencia of Santana Row entertained by good music and full bar over lounge chairs and umbrellas. Orly was one of five local artists chosen to participate in contributing his designs which were hand painted with acrylic paint. 

This year's proceeds went to San Jose's Downtown Association (SJDA) Downtown Doors - a youth program encouraging talented high school students to get involved in art programs.
