It's been a while...

Yea, so it's been a while since this blog has even been touched but I promise to make up for it. Here are some updates of what 808 iD has been up to lately.

So first off as you all know, I have gotten into tattooing and have slowly been working on making my work better and and stronger each time. The first is a good friend of mine, Britney who has been so generous as to be my "Japanese-style tattoo testing dummy". Luck for her, it actually went better than expected resulting in a beautiful mash-up of a koi, lotus, sakura, and her kanji "Naka-Yama". Next of with her we're going to try and tackle some Thai style lettering to represent her moms side of the family...wish me luck on that one.

Next up we have one of the cool kids from my high school hangout spot, Amanda Panda....not Panda is not really her last name.  This tattoo by far was the most fun and technically challenging tattoos i've done to date, in one session no less. Girl took it like a champ and the mana'o behind this piece is the reason I began tattooing.

Last up, the Kamahalo Christmas craft fair is soon approaching, Nov. 26-27, at the Cooper Center in Volcano. There will be a special sale for everyone who comes on Black Friday only. Details will be posted up on this blog as well as the facebook page on thursday.
