Wedding #3

Well another member of our family is getting married this year. Gonna be putting on the suit I bought way back in January from Houston. The only thing different will be the color of the tie. The couples theme this time is Burnt Orange. Can't wait for Sunday ;)

Without spoiling things too much here's a sneak of what I've been working on as well as recent projects I've done recently. Enjoy!

TAATS - Toronto Tattoo School!

Well the day has finally arrived! At exactly 6:30pm (EST), our tattoo school officially began with its first day of class. I simply observed and listened while my cousin and one of our hired artists went on to introduce to the class the principle basics of tattooing and safety methods. As well as giving the general course outline. Of course I had to take digital videos/pictures of this momentous day ;)

From what sounded like pipe dreams just over a couple of years ago, to now having a fully realized vision. I think we've come a long way considering what we've started out as. From doing temporary tattoos at the flea market, to providing custom airbrush art service, permanent tattoos, to an actual school/parlor shop in the downtown location... It's just sweet!

A major task I have to do is finish up those mural canvases to spice up the workshop space (the pics below is just the class room). I've started sketching out the ideas and I can't wait to do this one huge wall on our main lounge area. It's going to be one crazy gallery and I hope and my goal is for people, when they visit, to be inspired and have a good vibe about our place.



Well, here are the pics for you to enjoy! Sorry it's not much. Luckily one of our students managed to take some cool shots at the end of the lovely Taated grapefruits!, Haha. I've got several video clips as well but I'll post those up later on Youtube ;) Alllrights!
