It’s the middle of July in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I’ve just beared a six hour car ride from Denver in
the sweltering heat to witness the Duke City Tattoo
Fiesta alongside Jim Naron, national Japanese
style tattoo competitor. Jim, his sister Lauren, his
best friend Jayme, and I are all gunning for the
stage to see Jim’s full suit impress the southwest.
We’re staying the whole weekend to see Jim’s tattoo
artist, Aaron Coleman to get some fresh ink for
Lauren’s arm, and to pen this edition of InkSpired.
