HIGHLIGHTS AND STARS
Friday, October 9th, 2009
…It was also a pleasure to run into some of our favorite people from up in the hills and down on the Boulevard, Sylvester Stallone dropped by to meet Jose and check out some of the work…The constant fast-paced busyness of the booth, became THAT more entangled…
It was all smiles and like talking to an old friend about tattoos and art, the easy going and approachable Sly was just excited about the convention as everybody else and couldn’t wait to get some new work…
…and then the notorious drummer of Motley Crue, Tommy Lee (below) dropped in with Mario Barth to get a closer look…We’ll never forget the second he saw the “Tattoo Life” girl on Mark’s leg, the look on his face was priceless…
Mario made sure we were taken care of, introducing us to some of his best friends and past clients such as Sly and Tommy, as well as Evan Seinfield (above) of Biohazard/Damnocracy/Spyderz who MCed the convention…Below Tommy and Mario check out the new Urban Ink magazine with the spread on Jose Lopez…
Still want more from Vegas!? We got more coverage to come…

AND THE WINNER IS…
Friday, October 9th, 2009
Aside from the bright lights, cameras, and good times we had in Vegas, we had one true purpose there…to simply take home awards from the first EVER Biggest Tattoo Show in Earth. With competition in mind, we set forth some of our best pieces we had to offer…
Manny Navarette, Mark Osuna, and Shawn Bishop, major players in the tattoo collecting game and some Lowrider’s finest bodies of work, worked the crowds and judges in amazement…
Strategic poses all played a part in the competition. The judges showed no favoritism and were strict all through the end. The other players were just as tough in all the categories we tried to place.
The end result was Jose Lopez of Lowrider Tattoo, Best Black and Grey 1st (Mark) and 3rd place (Shawn), and 3rd place Best Overall for Manny…Mario Barth’s team and Starlight Tattoo was there to congratulate us with open arms, and we were there in return to thank them so much for there hospitality…
After the awards were given, Jose took stage and gave a short speech once again thanking Mario and inspiring the crowd to do what they love in life, and strive. He also gave special thanks and congrats to Jun Cha at home in Cali bringing “The Hundreds” to LA…
The amount of footage and moments we captured on this trip were too many to list…but we still got more for ya…

URBAN INK
Friday, September 25th, 2009
A special thanks to Travellin’ Mick and Urban Ink Tattoo Magazine for the outstanding twelve page article on Jose Lopez and Lowrider Tattoo on their most recent issue featuring Busta Rhymes on the cover…
“When you hear the name ‘Lowrider’ stereotypical images of a hardened or slick player may spring to mind- trust that Jose and Lowrider are anything but stereotypical…“
“He looked at the work by his heroes-Paul Booth, Tony Olivias, Jack Rudy, even his old friend- Chuey Quintanar…armed with their advice…Lopez eventually mastered grey lining and light wash shading.”
Always a pleasure to be put out their, but never forget where you come from and who helped you get there. That is why every chance we get, we have to give our props to the people who helped us get where we are and so paved the way for us. Our debt to the difference makers can never be accounted for. Once again, thanks Mick!!
