NO GREAT THING IS CREATED SUDDENLY
Monday, August 30th, 2010
Decades ago, tattoos were known to be taboo. Now, the artform that was once frowned upon is being embraced by the people who you would least expect. Teachers, Doctors, Firemen, City Officials, as well as Police Officers are in and out of the shop on a daily basis. We hear countless numbers of stories about why they are getting their tattoos. Some people receive them because they believe that their body is a canvas and love the artform for what it is-liberating. Others get ink because they want to pay a tribute to a loved one who is no longer with them or still in the present just to show how much they meant and still mean to them. There are also others who enjoy getting tattooed for the thrill of getting a tattoo. Whatever the reason may be, we enjoy having them come experience the artform that we have a passion for.
Tattoos have come a long way. Something, that wasnt even considered an artform is now a thriving industry and people are finally starting to give the artists recognition for the countless minutes, months, and even years spent on trying to be an inovator by reaching new heights. Women are now being adorned by beautiful pieces which include but are not limited to Flowers, their children’s names and angels allowing them to feel more comfortable in their skin.
Religious tattoos are in demand everywhere and we are inking them like never before. Customers come in from all over the world, especially from the land down under who are lining up to get some ink by the talented artists at Lowrider Tattoo. Australia’s tattoo enthusiasts fly into the shop non stop to get some of the southern california black and gray that many people are exited to get. The piece above is a very popular one with customers who are very religious. We’ve asked some of them what the meaning behind the tattoo is to them and some responded that they like the way it looks. Others believe that God is always with them keeping them safe and they feel him close to their heart.
Besides the religious work, customers are huge fans of women with guns and custom work has been created in order to capture the image that the clients have in their imagination-and we always deliver.
Without the individuals who come in, there is nothing to create. We need your imagination to mix with our style in order for us to construct your ideas and bring them to life.
Until Next Time.

BBQ-N-INK
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
This past Sunday, we started the day off at the shop with a delicious barbecue. We had a packed house with friends and family that came from all over the world. We had our friends in from Denmark, Australia, and Japan enjoying some of the great foods we were grilling. Everyone was having a blast enjoying eachother’s company.
Once we had a bite to eat, we got back into tattooing mode. Luckily our boy “Danger,” or as he was known that weekend, “The Grill Man,” was here spreading some cheer and entertaining our good friends.
The Shop apprentices were amazed with the pieces that were done. They were watching Jose carefully without blinking for a single moment so they could capture every single technique he was using.
Here’s another inspiration by the enigmatic Pint. He inspires many of us at the shop and people who don’t know about him leave the shop with amazement after we show them his stunning work. This will not be the last piece you’ll see us do that’s truly inspired by him.
Our boy Bobby from Tribal was in the house for some work as well. He came in asking for an angel with a cross and Jose delivered. The process was long and agonizing but Bobby took it like a champ. It was our esteemed pleasure to have him here and are very honored to have him sport Lowrider ink.
Until Next Time.
