Great time at the Bad Bitch’s Barbecue in Hawaii!They say I’m a wolf in the henhouse out here, but seriously, there are many ladies—and a few men—I have come to consider my family over the years. Thanks to @offdapaige, we’ve gathered here in beautiful Honolulu to celebrate our dear friend, and highly respected colleague, Vyvyn Lazonga. She’s been tattooing for 50 years!!! Grateful to be here, and to spend time with the vibrant heart of the tattoo community. Vyvyn’s an important part of our history. She’s done so much to pave the way for the diverse tattoo community that we see today. Grateful to have her as a friend!Thanks @vyvyn @tattoodo #badbitchbbqhawaii #seattle #seattletattoo #slavetotheneedle #seattlehistory #tattoohistory #tattoodo
Digging this pic of me and Melissa in Hawaii… didn’t even get wet! Came to celebrate Vyvyn’s 50 years of tattooing. Will post more pics soon
Trying to take a vacation the last few years has felt like a bad Twilight Zone episode. We’d planed a pre-Covid cruise, cancelled. Was scheduled again to go out a few weeks ago, was cancelled due to maintenance issues. So we decided to go to Hawaii after that, then our flight backup system went down. We and had to dump our fuel and return to Seattle! I feel like I’m hopelessly stuck here

Just set up a new Instagram page for my new band project @redreactiontheband We’re making old school melodic punk rock! My Cali friends on here will remember waaay back, the old Blind Hatred days. Well, Red Reaction is along the same vein, minus the shenanigans that used to get us kicked out of the clubs… hopefully anyways. We’ll be posting our events, and whatever we’re up to on there. If it sounds like your jam, give us a follow🙏 #redreactiotheband

Tattooed an STTN on Mariah today. If you have been tattooed by me, or are on the books to get tattooed, she is likely the nice gal that arranged it. She has worked for the shop for 81/2 years and I am so grateful for her! 🙏❤️ #slavetotheneedle #sttn
