Dymond Wayz Photoshoot.....with Cupcake Mafia

Yesterday after my last tattoo, I had to run over to Pearl's Baltimore Seafood (on Peters St.) to help my homegirl, Kesh out with a photoshoot with the Cupcake Mafia...I'm no model and I will never be one, but I had to support Kesh. She is a fellow Castleberry Hill business owner, and I love to see a person with hustle & drive so I was honored to play my part. If your ever in Castleberry Hill, drop by Dymond Wayz on Fair street next to the parking lot where "Off the Hook" barber shop is....props to the Horne Brothers for doing their once again...they were the photographers on this shoot..and they are also working on the City of Ink reality TV show....peace yall...I'm about to post more videos....

Another day @ City of Ink

In these troubling times, its good to be around positive energy and people. No matter how stressful life it..I feel THANKFUL to have the family, friends, and staff I have in my life...Just being at City of Ink surrounded by creative people, smiles, beautiful people can and do make life feel like you don't have a problem in the world. I have been to alot of tattoo shops and studios in my life..so when we decided to build City of Ink we wanted to do something totally opposite from the "normal" a place not built with a lot of money but A LOT of Love....just wanted to express how thankful I am to have the clientele we do, and the artist we do...it's just another day at COI..time to jump on that tat...I do have a few more videos to post up

PS...I seen my first Mike Giant tattoo in person today...on black skin...NICE and clean!

Death and pain....

I just got a call from my mother a few minutes ago..my sister's father Billy is sick with cancer and they said he might have a week to live....Billy is a major part of my book I'm working on and he helped raise and mold me as a man....He was the first man who teach me the value of forgiveness. I wish I could be there for my mother and sister right now in this moment of pain...but I have clients who flew in for their tattoos so I'm stuck at City of Ink today...but tattooing will help me keep my mind off of this. Billy is like a father to me....and the very first page of my book starts with a story about him and my mothers relationship. Nikki I love you sis, and I hope you be strong for your father....he is in my prayers...now it's time to tattoo Mike Flo's head..he is my first appointment today...and he beat cancer himself years ago...so make this is a sign of balance...birth and death....I love BILLY G....you will always be like a father to me...THANK YOU for helping me become the man I am today....may The Most High guide your light to the other side in peace....
