In one side Klown is getting down on some fine line tattoo work and on the opposite side its me doing the same thing feeding off each others energy the only thing we need is to be in the same room with everybody else in the shop every body contributing to this masterminding. This has to be the best job in the world not only do we get to do what we like best, we also get to do it with all our good friends.
I really wish every body out there is doing the same thing, enjoying this wonderful craft whether you are doing color, traditional, dark or our favorite fine line black and grey do your thing boo and make every moment count.

” The greatest gift to receive is not a monetary reward or materialistic object. It is when all your dedicated and hard-work to help another individual use their skills and abilities to reach their highest dreams are achieved. It is that strong satisfying inner feeling of knowing all your ongoing support made a positive impact on an individual’s life opening new doors and a new way to living life. That is the greatest reward anyone can receive.” |

SHOUT OUT TO LOWRIDER
Friday, April 27th, 2012
Nasir F. Graham aka Driicky Graham was born in Newark, NJ at UMDNJ hospital on November 23, 1991. Raised partly in Newark but mostly in Oxford, NC. Thus having the experience of knowing both the urban and rural environments. I grew up with both parents separated before the age of 2. Although they weren’t together I did actually have both parents in my life, though mostly my mother.
At a young age I was influenced by music artist mostly in the Hip Hop and RnB genre. Artist such as Michael Jackson, Biggie Smalls, Naughty by Nature, and Eminem. I always felt like I wanted to be on stage just never knew it would be music. However I first started displaying my talents thru dancing, Later branching out to rapping and singing. My inspiration for rap was actually just a outlet for stress dealing with high school among other problems in life.
I wasn’t really focused on rapping until I started showing my talents to my family, friends, and others who often told me that they loved my raps. Now I knew family and friends would show support because that’s just what they do (lol) but when other people recognized and appraised, then I kinda took the thought into mind. Surely enough, the more I rapped the more my passion for it grew. However I didn’t want to be looked at as just a rapper, so I tested my voice singing too. Found out that I did have a voice and lots of people already knew I could dance.
Actually I was considered the best dancer in my school. So I’m leaning towards being a triple threat artist. The name “Driicky” came from my middle name Frederick, I added two I’s because it looked more creative and wanted to be known as Driicky Graham entirely because just Driicky would be similar to Drake.
Support the homie Driicky, Thanks for the shoutout and keep doing your thang. Go get your snapbacks and then come down to Lowrider and get Tatted up!!!

BABY BOY
Thursday, April 5th, 2012
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.
