St. Patrick’s Day!!!

“Here’s to you and yours and to mine and ours. And if mine and ours ever come across to you and yours, I hope you and yours will do as much for mine and ours as mine and ours have done for you and yours!”–Irish toast

March 17th is celebrated by the Irish and the Irish at heart… but why is it that we celebrate on this particular day every year?… Some say that it was the day St. Patrick died. In fact, most businesses in Ireland close, being a religious holiday as well. However this being Hawaii and all, let the green-wearing, Guiness-drinking festivities go on! Check out our latest pics!

“DILLA DAY at SUPERHANDSOME SATURDAY”

Sailor Jerry @ Manifest

Manifest celebrated a night of rum drinking festivities in honor of Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins. He is known as the forefront breakthrough tattoo artist of the early 20th century. Combining “classic American visuals and Japanese tattoo art.”

“…he was apparently a prankster with a sadistic sense of humor and a bit of a bigot to boot-but his larger than life-personality makes for compelling viewing and his perspective on the underbelly of Chinatown is one you may not have seen before.”
