I love Glamis, how the sand shifts under your bike and you just have to hang on and pin it!

I like cruising in my 55, burnin rubber in the Strata parking lot, and just lead-footin around. That car puts a smile on my face every time I'm in it and has since the day I was born and I have a picture to prove it, coming home from the hospital on my first car ride I'm all smiles. The only difference is that now I have moved across the seat, behind the wheel, and my kids smile from the passenger side.

I like tattoos. I got my first one when I was 18, a Marvin the Martian on my left shoulder. It was a few years until I got another one, this time a YinYang sun on my right shoulder, done by my brother. It was only his second tattoo on real skin, and I healed it badly. About a year later I had him tattoo an alien/clown head under Marvin and he re-did he sun the same night. Shortly after that he did Marvins dog farther back on my left shoulder and thats all I had for about 8 or 9 years. Until last year. Last year I decided to tie all 3 pieces on my left arm together, to get something to hang out the window while cruising. That was when we met Jay'e at Strata Tattoo Lab. She did a cherries piece on my wifes ankle and it turned out great. We became friends and I decided to ask her to come up with something for me. I now sport a half sleeve with a theme of what it would look like if Marvin actually succeeded in taking over the world. Dark and fiery, with tons of detail. I LOVE it when people look at it for a few minutes and discover all the little details she added.

Last month (May 08) I decided to get a Koi on my right arm to go with the sun already there. I pitched the idea to Jay'e and we set up an appointment for later in the week. When I got there she asked if she could spend some time just drawing on my arm and before you know it I had the design laid out for another half sleeve! We've only just started to color it in but its sick already!! I'll post more when I get more done.

Colin, at Strata, pierced my lobes at 10g in Jan 08. They were my first true piercings, with a needle and not the shitty gun. I've since stretched up to 2g and I think I'll stay there for awhile. I went up to 0g a couple weeks ago but noticed slight cat-ass when I took them out for cleaning so I decided to downsize for awhile. Ive also got holes in my cartilage that I got at the mall when I was 18, I had 12g curved barbells in them for awhile but for the last few years they've had nothing. I might put some small CBRs in them someday. I have been stalking Gaugetrade lately building up my 2g collection. My wife is into stretching too. She has a 10g CBR in each earlobe and a 2g right above that, which she switches out with whatever new I find. She also has regular gun holes below the 10's so she can still wear the diamond studs I got her for our anniversary a few years ago.

Thats about all for the body mods. My brain is always going, thinking about whats next, but the Boss Lady says I need to finish my right sleeve before anything new is started. Thats damn hard when you're friends with a tattoo artist and a piercer and spend a good chunk of time hanging out at the shop. If you're ever in Yucca Valley, Ca you NEED to swing by Strata Tattoo Lab on Highway 62. Jay'e (the owner)or Phil can fulfill all your tattoo dreams and Colin can put a hole through anything youve got!! <--- Shameless plug!!
