Bay Tay time!

Taler Nicols, another talented tatt maker from Incognito, moved back up to her homeland of San Francisco at the beginning of the year and damn near broke my heart! I was able to drive up there for a couple of days and stay with her which helped mend it a little! I had never properly seen or spent time on that part of the coast and I immediately fell in love with it. Tay sure knows how to show a girl a good time. It was a blur of babes, booze and burrito's and I can not wait to head back up there again soon for some quality party time, this time with Maroz!




My first night there we went and played Bingo at the Riptide for the chance to win some drinks or something out of the mystery box. It was pretty exciting stuff. My favourite part was when they called out 69 and gave everyone jello shots


You can never have enough owls










I took the most pictures at the Japanese Tea gardens in Golden Gate park. Mostly because it was the only time I was sober enough to know how to work my phone, but also because it was B E A Utiful!


Tay Tays and me sipping on some tea (see what I did there?)




Crazy bridge. We had to fight a couple of children playing on it to get some decent shots, but as you can see, it was worth it


This pretty much sums up my last day there. I didn't wanna leave! This was heaven to me


And last, but by NO means least, the burrito that changed my life and the way I think about Mexican food. The Farolito Super Burrito... H O L Y shit

Sad face :(

This post has been a long time coming, but I'm sad to say that our close buddies at Incognito Tattoo closed the shop at the end of Feb. It was such a shame to see what I, and many others, considered one of the best tattoo shops in LA close it's doors after 18 years of clean, gentle service. The quality of work coming out of that place for the duration of the time it was there was outstanding and it will be sorely missed.




However, on a lighter note, Jason Schroder, owner and operator, can be found at his new private studio in Los Feliz. And Tyler Borich and Adrian Sanchez, two very talented fine young gentlemen, can be found still working their magic at American Electric in Silverlake. As well as James Spencer Briggs, black and grey extraordinaire, who is working out of Good Time Charlie's in Anaheim as well as Memoir Studio in Hollywood... So I guess I can turn that frown upside down :)

Tony Montana...

... Eat your heart out



Kidding! It's just white tattoo pigment!

Universal Studios

What better way to spend the day than at Universal?! Especially when you have SKIP THE LINE PASSES!! Yeeeah boooy!! Our good friend Christina is a PA to Ron Meyers and, the little angel that she is, gave me some tickets for my birthday. We decided to boycott Valentine's Day and spend it eating churro's and riding the Mummy ride. It was awesome...






Maroz's valentine kiss


Pure excitement

Finally, what you've all been waiting for...

So Maroz has been banging on and on about how I never do anything on this blog and how she's just gonna delete me off it and have it as the Maroz Blog... well I know a lot of people panicked at this prospect, but never fear - Rosoz is here!

It's been a while... since Christmas in fact, and a lot of shits gone down. I had my birthday in February and smashed my precious Blackberry to pieces (thanks Caleb for stepping on it. What are the chances of the biggest guy in the bar finding that little device on the floor and managing to crush it beneath his size 15's?!) so I was forced to join the iPhone club. Not that I'm that upset about it, these things rule. Pretty much every pic from here on out has been taken with Hipstamatic, sorry about that. Here are the very few snaps I got of my bday dinner at Bottega Louie, which is the best place ever, located in downtown. I love it, it feels like a treat every time I go there (which has only been twice, but whose counting?)


Dean was really excited




Lots of simpleness going on here


I really couldn't tell you...


Birthday desert! Damn good birthday desert

Next purchase....

I'm finally buying a super 8 camera...I'm pretty excited about it....Canon 514 XL :-)

Maroz Show

So basically this has turned into the Maroz blog....Bad times! Anyways I saw this fine young man at the Griffin last night...at least I was subtle about it...NOT! ha
