Currently Im chillin in the Dallas airport. I just finished a 12 hour flight from Osaka, and Im waiting to get on the last leg back to Albuquerque.
Currently Im chillin in the Dallas airport. I just finished a 12 hour flight from Osaka, and Im waiting to get on the last leg back to Albuquerque. Its 7am Osaka time, and 5pm Dallas time. As you might imagine, Im feeling a little fucked up. Cant wait to get home and hit the bong, take a shower, and get some sleep.
I spent most of Sunday in Nagoya. This was the view from my hotel room

And check out how wide the building on the right is in this photo

Every inch counts. And how about yet another cool chopper

From Nagoya, we took a bullet train back to Osaka

Check out these Osaka homeless steez...

And more crazy food in windows...

Sunday night, I got to check out Corrupted

My friend Hevi is the vocalist. They were awesome. They played one really long song and called it a night.
After the show I went to a noodle spot with the crew, including Kayo. So cute

She's rad, and I had a ball on her little folding bike

Monday morning, and more rain

I made this tattoo that afternoon

Then we got the usual crew together and headed over to a club called Sansui for a Rebel8 party. Mika was looking super cute in my new Cinelli hat

Heres some photos of the wall we painted at the club



I also worked on this canvas in a second room in the club with Nami, Mutsuo, and Hevi

And I met Rockin Jelly Bean!

Jill was feeling the love as well

And check out his fresh bike that he brought with him from LA

Finally spotted a beer machine

And I caught a little something by my friend Wane in Verys blackbook

On the way back to where I was staying, I ran into my favorite girl in Osaka

I started Tuesday off with this little tattoo

And since it was my last day in Japan, I went shopping! Heres my pile of booty after 2 weeks in Japan

After shopping, I caught this cool stencil and a nice Grime tag on a street box

Then I got myself a souvenir tattoo

My friend Usugrow drew out the word Paipan in his fancy brushed lettering style, and I had Mutsuo from Three Tides tattoo it on me. Its great. Thanks, Mutsuo!
After that, we got the crew together for dinner at a buffet restaurant. We just grabbed what we wanted, put it all out on the table, and shared everything. Javi, a tattooer from Spain who was visiting Three Tides, was along for the ride. Hes vegan, and this buffet place had lots of options for him, something pretty rare in Japan from my experience. Heres the spread

Delicious. Then we rolled to Kabina

Thats the smallest door Ive ever seen going into the smallest bar Ive ever seen. They were closed. So we ended up at Mecca where I tried out some new glasses, styling and photo by Jill Bonny

And these were some other glasses I tried out

Im in the market for some new glasses. And a haircut.
I got up around noon yesterday. Got everything packed. Went to Starbucks for a huge decaf and a scone. Then Yuya took this photo of Mika and myself

After one last visit to the Three Tides office, I got this shot of Hevi with a cool three wheeler

Then Mutsuo and I caught the 3:10pm bus to the airport

Goodbye, Osaka!


And at 5:30pm, I left the ground. And after 12 hours in the air, I find myself in Dallas at 5:30pm. I find myself here, in The Mystery Zone
