It ’ s gonna be 80 to 90 % Caribbean and reggae music and go off on different stuff . When you walk in my shop , I want you to smell the incense and see the surfing memorabilia and tiki bar and skateboards and I want that all to hit you at once . It ’ s a very particuar vibe I put out there and at the time when I first did it 13 years ago , I had never seen a tattoo shop like that . A lot of them have popped up around me now .
I remember calling Kyle Dunbar once and he was out surfing with you . Yea , he loves it here . It ’ s been a minute , but especially with people who don ’ t surf , and they get that stoked , that stays with you and you ’ ll be smiling all day . A little smile on your face is good and the ocean is a very healing place . All the problems you have you can leave on the beach and you can forget about them for a moment , catching a wave or not . Having a good time .
So are you planning on doing more DJing ? Yea , gonna focus on that a lot . Tattooing is my passion in life and
