STEALING A QUICK GLANCE BACK.
March 23rd, 2011 | Filed under Friends, Images, New Ink, Update
..so I remember where I’ve come from while I’m still on my way to where I’m going.
Here’s a quick glance at some memorable moments forever captured over the past 3 months that I stumbled across in my archive folder and would have otherwise forgotten to post! Good eats, good times, and living la dolce vida!
It’s kind of funny that I have to put “DO NOTHING” as a reminder in my iCal, right? My fight was on the 4th, so I was told to strictly sit on my ass, conserve energy and eat as little as possible. Tuffstuff for a mover and shaker like me.
Cruisin in a Harley Davidson Truck with Roberto on the way to Ethiopian food in the hood. Nuff said.
Lalibela, the newly discovered Ethiopian spot out in the East end of the dot! They’ve got a sick aquarium up in hurr.
Days off with my girl mean Pilipino breakfasts at The Ritz.
Lorenzo goes in for proper sound and I ditch the computer speakers that have been sitting in the spot where my factory radio used to be for the past month and a half. Slowly elevating from hooptie/jalopy status to a shining diamond.
It was Matt’s bday last friday, so he came through for a visit on Saturday. Peep the J’s on the subway, team!
This is Michie, she be a junglist and came through on a Monday night to get the classick “Love” and “Hate” tatted on her inner biceps. She sat like a soldier through her first, and second tattoos. See you pon de danceflo’ soontimes, gyal!
My homegirl, the beautiful, talented and fiesty Lucia and I.
MONSTERS.

Significant things to update on.
1.) There are new images up in the tattoo, sketchbook and photoshoots galleries for you to peep. Enjoy!
2.) I am no longer tattooing out of Hartless Tattoo. Any tattoo related inquiries can be submitted here or to my email address (noble.ink@gmail.com).
3.) Finally opened up a Twitter account (intergalactic mega-net bullhorn, say what?!) and am in the process of linking it to my facebook account and this site. It will probably take me more than a focused hour to try and do something like that, and it’s just not really a priority at the moment, but I will definitely drop the address once it’s up and running proper.
Here’s Carlo’s Scorpio and ambigram tattoo that says “family forever.” Just to prove how small of a world it really is out there, one of my homegirls, Melly is the graffiti genius behind this dope design. Oh, and speaking of monsters, Carlo is a pinoy originally born in Italy, but definitely spent some time in the Philippines growing up. He assures me that through his experiences when he was growing up, many of the folklore monsters we heard about growing up, like the aswang, are true. Even if he was just telling a tall tale, which I’m convinced he wasn’t by his expressions while telling the story, I still got mad goosebumps.
This one’s for one of my favorite people.
KEEP YOUR GUARD UP.

Time escapes me yet again. Since we last spoke, I stored my bike for her winter slumber, acquired my PAL, bought my first car (more on that in a future post), TURNED TWENNYSIX, did up some dope tattoos and have been diligently working to up my side of the game.
I even received mighty shout outs from Mr. Jaylen and Breakthatbread! Because these two are so dopesauce, their sessions felt less like work, and more like coolin’ with old friends. Nothing like changing it up with good times to really revive the soul, right? I’ll be posting up their tattoos in the gallery once I get it off the shop cam.
Because the workload is never over, I’m going to throw some sketches your way and hope that you don’t mind too much, for now I bid you adieu.
THE DARKEST HOUR.

Homeboy Gabe aka. Gremlinz came through to chisel off a portion of his rib piece that is nothing less than big, grimey and hella dark. Just how I like it. Can’t wait til the next session on this bad mf.
TOO MUCH A GWAN.

Please excuse the low quality blackberry photos, I’ll get better ones with a proper camera together after this badboy heals.
