I believe Matt Arriola is based out of Boise, Idaho now. I imagine he could make a bad ass unicorn tattoo. Much more bad ass than anything you find by google imaging "unicorn tattoo design"....

He is going to Spotlight full time sir.

I found some in Danville around Memorial Day 2012. Full selection just like this. I ended purchasing a big bottle of the "Red" (notice the flavor is only listed as "Red"). After a long night of drinking while the wife was out of town, I opened her up and figured "what could it hurt?". I can tell you, it hurt.

Jason, WE ARE TOO OLD FOR THIS.

Might try this Mikey's Burgers place before my appointment at Kings Ave, unless anyone else has any good lunch suggestions in the area...

Or maybe I'll just eat a bunch of pastries from Dominique Ansel.

Do you enjoy coffee? Gimme Coffee on Moss St does really nice single cup brews. They ain't fast on service, but I really love a good cup of coffee.

Do it soon! He's leaving Blackheart and taking some time off, as per Instagram yesterday.

Hahaha, yeah. Cabs and I were texting yesterday and that was what he said to me. He is totes going to even though he "says" he's saving money.

@BrianH, this was my first thought.

Chest piece appointment booked with Jason Phillips at FTW in Oakland. Nervous/stoked at the same damn time.

Yeaaah! And you're totally getting a Rodin walk-in. I know it!

A baseball glove underneath a step ladder...AMIRITE?????!!!?!!?!?!?!?!!!

My trolling has purpose. Street by street.

Brb, getting my popcorn.

Poutine is so gnarly if you take it home and eat it the next day, you wouldn't want it shipped. Shit would not totally not clear the border either.

I'll paypal the rush delivery! FEDEX is international. Haha.

Welcome! We would love to see any of the tattoos you're willing to share!

Picked up this print from Josh Brown a little while back.

Gah! Dude. I gotta go hassle him for one.

This video is silly, but this record is 90% of what I'm listening to this summer.

@Cork You can't go wrong with the minimum upkeep.

STEEZ

Can't wait to see some pics of this trip beyond what you guys already threw on IG.

You mean like one of @cltattooing eating pizza and giving me the finger. Haha. I'll have to let her share that one.

Good times my dude! Will rendezvous with you either in VA, or in ATX. LET'S DO THIS!!

My friend, the door is always open to you (all of you for that matter). Good times will continue to be had.

Well, I just landed back in Virginia. Today was a long day.

I can honestly say that I had an amazing time visiting San Francisco and Oakland, but the two most rewarding aspect of the entire trip was grabbing food at Taqueria Vallarta on Thursday night and having incredible conversation and laughs with you guys. And secondly, spending an entire day at FTW watching the homey Carolyn work (on top of getting tattooed myself). I am so glad to consider you guys friends.

I'm honestly returning today with a drive to work so much harder because of this experience.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much LST.

@LadyGabe you should read this thread.

I have the distinct pleasure of saying this is one of my dearest friends. @cmmercer13 Hey booboo.

@CultExciter

But mostly I use magic.....he he he

Hahaha, it's true, you have to jiggle the flux capacitor on top of the turncoat spring. It's the only thing that gets that pesky needle bar to move up and down.

I once knew a guy who had "Scumbag" tattooed on the side of his neck. No joke.
