Got to visit with the homies! Nando and Glenn at the world famous Cool Cat Tattoo in Bloomington, CA.
I met my good buddy Nando here during our adventures with the Lost Cove, and I met Mr. Glenn quite some time ago almost a little under 10 years ago on the road doing conventions!
Glenn is right there in my left! I was just a young Tatter tot at that time!
Kickin it with the homies is always always always a blast and I’m super thankful for the hospitality. It was super important for me to head out there, and was very long overdue. I had been promising the homie Nando I’d be out there for the last three years and finally made it out. I will definitely be back soon!
The homie Nick came out to collect a really rad piece as well. I’ve been tattooing Nick for almost 15 years now! Man it’s wild to think how long some of my friendships have lasted and continue to go. I’m very thankful to tattooing for that. When tattooing we spend a lot of time with our clients and sometimes clients are already friends and sometimes clients become friends.
Its already super rare for people to spend more than an hour with someone alone, so spending 4-8 hours with someone several times, you really start to get to know people!
It also helps make the time feel less exhausting when everyone is familiar and laughing. Nick always brings great ideas and convos. Thank you big dawg for always trusting as well. It does not go unnoticed and I’m extremely grateful for your friendship and support!
There was so much great art at Cool Cat it’s a definite must stop if you’re in the area! Great great tattoo shop even better people. I know I’m going to be for sure returning soon. Next time I’ll be sure to grab more pics so you guys can see!
For those of you following my blogs, I want to post more motion, and film but for now my bandwidth is very limited. This is the reason why I haven’t been posting. Im trying to learn more about servers and my options to bring you guys content exclusively here!
