It's all about YouTube

Couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to spend the whole day at the SHOWDOWN tattoo shop on 10727 124 St NW, Edmonton. That is the second Showdown location. Crew was so welcoming and nice, it’s always fun to meet other tattooers😍

From 80s to 90s, from Edmonton skate scene to 2000s tattoo apprenticeships, Justin McGee aka Getsometats has seen it all😍 Justin brought us closer to his life as a skateboarder back in the day and tattooer for the last 15 years. He's got so many cool stories, I could listen to him for hours. Maybe one day we will do seven hour version of this thing 😅

Next interview is already in works! Be the first one to watch, check my Patreon account and keep an eye out❤️‍🔥

Doing My Part

Couple of months ago I heard one sentence while listening to The Verge podcast. Since then, the idea lives in my head rent free and It goes something like this: “We are going to revolutionize the media with blog posts”. I really love that and I want to do my part.
Social media geography is changing and it feels scary when some of the platforms were our home for years, and now some of them are just gone. Some of them are locking features behind paywalls and ghosting our posts. Having website is more important than ever. its crucial to have place for your own work and ideas that no one can intervene and take .

Like I said, I really love that idea and I want to do my part🐸

DAY OFF

When you have a tight schedule and you don’t have a lot free time every second counts. Don't get me wrong I love tattooing, I would go that far and say: I live and breathe tattooing. But that doesn't mean that I don't love and enjoy other things like photography, drawing, writing, working out, singing in the band...

With these glimpse of my life I wanted to bring you even closer❤️

DOCUMENTING

As you noticed on start, I spend my free days walking around and taking photos. Last two years black and white was how I shoot. This summer I wanted to switch it up a bit and have some fun. For taking these photos I used my FujiFim XE 4, Fujinon XF 27mm pancake lanse, and “Vintage Analog“ Fujifilm recipes from FUJI X WEEKLY website. Hope you will enjoy them.
