Long Beach was a solid ass weekend with my @tattoo_asylum_ca crew, old friends, new artist friends, and a bunch of people I followed on Instagram that I probably won’t recognize by their username tomorrow 😂 I’m eternally grateful for all the friendships I’ve made in this industry. Tattoo conventions are really just a few days of tattooing, talking shit, spending too much money, barely sleeping, and saying “we gotta work together soon” to 37 different people. Big shoutout to the @silentwaveteam for being our neighbors all weekend. @artbytrendz and @randallcroleytattoo @turk.joness it’s always good seeing you guys at these shows, and the whole Silent Wave crew is always cool as hell. Much love to Shay @inkboutique2.0 and his crew on the other side of us too. It was a pleasure meeting you guys, talking with you, and having neighbors who were actually friendly instead of acting like the booth line was an international border 😂 Another shoutout to @abooztattooz It was a pleasure meeting you and nerding out over leather smithing for a bit. Always cool when you leave a tattoo convention with inspiration outside of tattooing too. @brytrue_tattoo and @cashdelacreme it was good seeing you guys again. I’ll be working alongside you both in Houston at the Villain Arts Festival July 31 through August 2, because apparently none of us know how to stay home and relax lol And thank you to all the other artists I met, connected with, talked to, and followed over the weekend. Sorry I can’t remember everyone’s tags. My memory only works when it wants to, and convention weekends definitely aren’t helping 😂 Huge thank you to our sponsors @hemperco and @greek_glass for hooking us up with merch to raffle off throughout the weekend. We appreciate the support and helping us show some love back to everyone who stopped by the booth. Lastly, thank you to the @longbeachtattooartsfestival for putting on another great festival, and thank you to everyone who stopped by, got tattooed, entered the raffles, showed love, or just came by to bullshit with us. Long Beach was one for the books. Now I need about three business days, an IV drip, and about 14 hours of
