    Went to Freemont street the other night with Jasmine, then I wandered around the next day for a while. Eventually I met up with my friend Sean and we hung out, and ended up at Red Rock Park.

    So I’m in Vegas for the next week visiting my girlfriend. Yesterday we got some In N Out, drove around, I met her sister, mom, and cousin. We cheered her cousin on in Rock the Tot (tatter tot eating competition), and then went and got some California Pizza Kitchen. I snapped a few photos, and had some time to edit and upload them today while she’s at work. More photos later in the week. Follow me on Twitter for updates.

    Friday night our friend Sean Baltzell from Iron Age Studio in STL, and his lovely girlfriend Sara, came to Columbia to hang out. Saturday he rolled into Iron Tiger and tattooed some friends and hung out, then we all rolled over to Gumby’s to eat some pizza and wings.

    So last minute the night of the 3rd we found out our boy Klipa was coming to town with a band he was on tour with called Surroundings. Klipa hails from the port city of Baltimore and used to play guitar in Trapped Under Ice. So the plan was they would crash at my crib and hang out the next day and get some tattoos at our shop, Iron Tiger, before they headed off to STL for their show. Soon after plans were made, our boy Justice from Trapped Under Ice told us they had the day off on the 4th and were gonna roll into town late on the night of the third and hang out on the 4th and were hoping to get tattooed as well. On top of all of this my boy Kyle Markiewicz (from Iron Age Studio in STL) rolled into town to hang out and lace up some tattoos. Easter Sunday may not have been spent with family, but it was spent with a bunch of old and new friends. Couldn’t complain really at all.

    Last month I went with 5 tattooers from our shop to the Real Deal Tattoo Convention in Kansas City. I worked the counter and helped out while they tattooed all day and night. I shot a few pics when I had the chance.

    Today my buddy Alex Haycock asked me to come along and shoot some photos of his roommate Taylor and her friend Kelli. With the weather being as beautiful as it is, and not having to work, I of course couldn’t say no. First we went to the bridge at Peace Park, then after drove out to the big tree south of town. Had some beers, some laughs, and made some cool shots. Check the photos below or click here to see them on flickr.
