YOKOHAMA
We took the train from Nagano to Tokyo and then to Yokohama for attending Interstyle.
A pretty big convention for board and outdoor sports.
After running into some of my favorite skateboarders in the elevator and became startstruck as hell, it was time to run off and see my other big hero; Shige.
Always wanted to see his shop. Methim first time 10 years ago before I started tattooing. He has been one of my biggest inspirations since then.
This artwork is going on my wall at home.
Then I met the guys from Yes and Nidecker for some dinner and beer.
I decided to stay one extra day in Yokohama, just because I really like this city better than Tokyo.
The Aloha feeling is strong here.
Even got some skateboarding in the last day before heading back to Tokyo.
TATTOOING IN NAGANO
Got to do a little more on this piece I started on Romain in Bergen. Wish we had more time to get more done.
BIRTHDAYS ARE HARD
We decided to celebrate both mine and Torps birthday, and it got a little crazy.
Me and Torpy.
Stared the day with some riding at another resort.
