Lil B has been working hard these last couple of weeks and his dedication to his art is paying off. Here’s some of his latest work for you to enjoy.
His portraits are always on point.
And here’s a little bit of his script on a good friend of ours, Duardo-a rapper from France.
More to come.

THE CREATION OF A MONSTER.
Friday, June 17th, 2011
Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.”
- Chinese Proverb
As an apprentice at Lowrider Tattoo, I’ve been blessed to be surrounded by some of the industry’s greatest artists. That is why I’ve been taking the time these last couple of months to learn off of everyone here at the shop. It is because of their selflessness that I am able to understand and flourish in the art of tattooing a little more everyday and I am thankful for every bit of knowledge they provide me with.

GASTRONOMY
Sunday, June 12th, 2011
Here’s a lil bit of what of what Rome had in store for us. It was really hard to keep our our selfs from not eating some of the best food in the world.
From simple brusqueta to a full on three course meal on which the main ingredient was truffels sprinkled over Pasta and sauteed squid with sparagu., and to end it all a cheers with a glass of grappa. It was beautiful, a nice treat after days of endless hours of work.
I got say thanks to the Tattoo gods.
Well thank you for tuning in and remember”Treat yourself, don’t Cheat yourself”.

OUR BOY WEMBLY
Sunday, June 12th, 2011
Our boy Wembly came in to support us and help us in any way possible in our last visit to Breda. We continued to his collection with a beautiful portrait of his mother.
While doing the tattoo he share a life changing story with me. He told he had talk to his mother about the tattoo he wanted to get, and how he was going to be with her at all times now…. His mother answer ” If you want to be with at all times you should try visiting me more often.”
We all get caught up in our own life, that we some times forget to do a very simple thing, visit our loved ones I guess this is a lesson for all of us. We continued to work on his fathers portrait, which by the way was very hard, for he only had one picture of his dad the way he wanted to remember him. So I had to work my magic and do all that i could to pull it off….
I’m really glad that Wembly was part of this unforgettable trip and I’m also very thank full for the story he shared with me. We should all visit our mothers more often!
