I’ve been in Kauai Hawaii for the last few days.. I took my state license test for tattooing and plan on coming back as often as I can!! It is an amazing place. Here is a few pics of my trip so far.

So I believe I have a crazy obsession with eyes. I really like them, so I got a few new ones tattooed on me. They were done by Diego Ortiz who works with me at the shop in Vallejo! This dude can really kill it with the black and grey!

The first eye was to fill a small space in between my chest piece and lettering I have near my throat. I like this eye so much I decided it was time to get my other hand tattooed… The rest of the photos document this. Enjoy, and come get tattooed by Diego ‘Grenas’ Ortiz!
