Today was a good day, I came into the shop today just like all the other days, I walk in and saw a guy in the waiting room with a carry on luggage so right away I knew it was my appointment. I greeted him and began to talk about his ideas for his tattoo thats when he pull out some beautiful images of his pride and joy. I helped him choose the right image and since he wanted it in his ribs I told him this image would work best. Its very important to have a good communication with the clients and to collaborate with one another, for collaboration is the beginning of all organize effort.
Mike Fernandez Is a native of the big NY and has the same love for Lowriders that we do so it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. We talk about future plans to add on to his collection of tattoos. At one point he ask me if he should get another piece right away or work on his Lowrider I honestly replied to him “You need to work on your car first and most important of all enjoy your tattoo with your son”
We thank you and can’t get tired of doing it, for all your unconditional support for it takes great effort to make it to this point, But greater is the man who knows whats he wants.
“Another great day”

THIS IS WHO I AM
Thursday, April 5th, 2012
If you have tried and met with defeat; if you planned and watched your plans as they were crushed before your eyes; just remember that the greatest men in all history were products of courage, and courage, you know, is born in the cradle of adversity.
Born in bordeaux France son of two proud yet lonely parents who together are sacrificing so much just to make their dreams come true. He gets up every day and works as hard as he can every day even though he swims against the strong current of adversity. Even the strongest willed man can feel down at times but he knows the that there is no room for failure there is no going back there is only one option and thats to keep fighting until his dreams and aspiration can become a reality.
Defeat after defeat he tries different ways to deal with it knowing that it is only temporary, always a smile on his face brushing away the comments and slanders that are thrown at him, he doesnt let anything stop him he knows these are just a few of the life lessons he must learn and overcome. He is young but yet full of courage, courage that many would kill for, he is happy, he is sad, he is lonely for he is thousands of miles away from home, he knows yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow only a vision. But today he will live well and by doing so he will make every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
His name is Robin Hernandez A 21 year old young man who left everything behind to look for a better life which I’m sure by the way he is searching one day in the not to distant future he is sure to find.

A CLOSER LOOK
Monday, January 23rd, 2012
It took along time but finally we are finished at least with this piece, there is another very nice piece in the works that will tie everything together but you will have to wait to see it in Rome where the lowrider tattoo boys will be in the next months.
It is a very tiring process but also very rewarding.
We thank you the viewers for tuning in, and a very special thank you to our friend Marcos for putting up with us this whole time.
LOWRIDER TATTOO FAMILY!

NOAH
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012
A long time ago a lil kid came to my shop asking for direction and a chance to sit down and talk to me about tattoos…. He asked a lot of questions and I answer them to the best of my knowledge…This went on for a while and time after time he would come back to talk some more until I ask him if he really wanted to learn a lil more he could come with me and really jump in the water and get his feet wet, I assure him it would not be easy but he welcomed the challenge and he started working with me, going to all the places I was going to. I remember him always standing right next to me always watching me, with almost no expression on his face just intaking all the information in front of him.
This kid was like no other he did not have a care for anything but learning how to tattoo, it was almost weird that he did take interest in other things other guys were doing and he would never leave my side. I remember a time when we went to one of the first tattoo Conventions out of state and it just happened to be his birthday,lol. I though it be a good idea to get him drunk but actually it was a bad one… We found that out the next day, not only him but all of us had to worst headache ever. My pocket was full of money cause we were gambling and drinking patron and aparently I won all the money that night. I didn’t remember anything. The worst part is that we still had to tattoo that weekend and that didn’t stop us we were there to tattoo and thats what we did. Now that I look back and remember so many moments its seems like it was yesterday. Only that lil kid has grown to become a man, a man that I’m very proud of, His name in Jun Cha. His is on his way to make his own mark in the tattoo world and he still come around all the time to check on us and help out at the studio. Nothing has change he is and will alway be family. I’m writing this because another kid has stepped in to the shop just like Jun did 6 years ago with the same determination. So I could not stand there and do nothing, I welcomed him into the shop just like jun for I saw the same potential and the same drive. It is funny how life and history repeats it self.
He goes by the name of Noah a young artist from Santa Rosa CA, He left everything behind just to pursue his passion for tattoos. And just like Jun he went ahead and enlisted him self in the Art Center Of Pasadena. I really think there’s a lot of very good things that are going to come out of this kid for I have seen it in another, Jun.
With only a few years of Tattooing he is already a master of Hand Script and many other types of tattooing.
With the skills he will be learning in school and at the shop I’m sure he will become a great tattooist.
I really hope that he takes advantage of everything in front of him just like Jun did. Now I’m going to have two guys around me looking over my shoulder,lol.
Thats has never been a problem with me they are my kids, and most importantly they are my friends.
With this new year comes Noah he will be a great asset to Lowrider Tattoo and a great complement to All the other tattooist at the shop like Johnny Opina, Miguel, Gustavo and another great artists sam and lil b.
I’m Proud of all of them And would like to wish them all the best in everything they do.
Lowrider Tattoo started with a dream with one man sitting in a wheelchair wondering what would become of him… He never imagine what would unfold in the coming years. Just when it seemed like it was over, a bright light shined down on him and showed him the path that he is now following, Tattooing.
I’m very fortunate to have such big family and I’m really happy to add Noah as a new member of the Lowrider tattoo Family. Come check him out and find out what I’m talking about, he has lots of talents just waiting to be explored.
