   The future is fuckin terrifying, the idea of the unknown is something that haunts the thoughts of countless who meditate on the subject, myself included. But in the infinite number of paths and doors both our own and the other conscious vessels there’s a horror show of beauty, pain and knowledge waiting to be acquired.

   

   No mystic we seek in the world can come to a conclusion, even with a glimpse through the eye hole, just suggest the best wisdom they have available. I love it. The future is a never ending learning process and it’s forever changing. Even when you feel you’ve come to know it, other factors are introduced and your spiral back to the terror that is square one.  All the knowledge you’ve gained from the past seems to evolve with every second your mind processes more information, so in a sense the future is humbling cause it reminds us about how little we actually know and how far we are willing to push ourselves to continue.

   

   My future so far is nothing I thought it would be and I’m nowhere I thought I would. But the places I’ve been and experiences I’ve had have all been fucking amazing. But the steps i’m taking now have me pacing like a maniac thinking of where I’ll be headed next…

   

   Meditate on whats happened, whats coming and what to do to get there. Don’t dwell on past mistakes, embrace the ones coming. Fuck the mystics that tell you your path is set and who you are, you are who you make yourself.

2. TIME NEVER PASSES UNNOTICED

   Clio the muse of History the one who over sees historians, teachers painters and tattooers.  She helps us understand that history is not linear but cyclical involving life, death and rebirth.  History is the never ending evolution, constant transformation and growth.  She is always watching, writing every account to the smallest detail.  I never realize how important this was till I did this tattoo.

   

   Time never passes unnoticed and time never waits for anyone.  There for we must make use of every second of our life.  At work, at home and with in our self we must continue on with diligence and responsibility.

   

3. LONDON 2013 RECAP

   February 7, 2013 10:39 pm Leave a Comment

   Take a look at the recap from the recent London 2013 campaign. This past run has been one of the best and smoothest trips. With all the support from the people of Europe behind us, the energy and work momentum stayed strong throughout the late hours. The best part for me was to see my brothers Miguel and Noah taking things to the next level, and the effort they put into the craft. Giving as much attention in growing their minds as well as their work, these guys are leading a path to becoming great artists. And Jose, always giving and paying close attention and care in growing the team effort, guiding and empowering as a true leader. And of course we can’t forget the bones of the trip Alex, Steven and Toby. Without their hard work, patience, and motivational ball breaking, we would never have pulled through the long sessions. Enjoy this final release of all the work and also make sure you’re keeping up at: Lowrider Tattoo, NoahMinuskin.com, and MiguelOchoaTattoo.com. And for those in Italy, don’t forget to stop by the Lowrider Tattoo booth at the Milan convention this weekend where Jose, Miguel and Noah will be at work. Thanks to all for the love and support, more to come! – Jun Cha

   From Graffiti to Sign Painting to now Custom Lettering Tattoos. We here at Lowrider Tattoo always try to be on the cutting edge of our industry. With different backgrounds and nationalities we have a melting pot of various styles, which ranges from Graffiti Blocks to Gang Writing to also Precise Pinstriping. Variations in our craft and shop fellowship, we always try to keep each other on point.

   

   Johnny’s lettering above is an excellent example of different fonts carefully put together. We have Beveled Blocks to Solid Caps ending with Tip Shaded Handwriting. All Freehand as well, Johnny Opina is an asset to our studio with his always sought-after hand styles!

   

   Next Miguel Ochoa shows 3 unique sets in one tattoo. Taking an entire quote and making it strong and consistent is tough, but he manages to pull it off and caps off the top of it all with some inverted smoke, way to go homie!!!

   

   Last but not least, the newest addition to the Lowrider Staff, The Kid, Noah Minuskin. Very clean and sharp handwriting with ghost lines to follow it, is a killer combination non the less.
