Little retro space ray hanging off the arm — bold color, clean lines, and that spark hitting just right.

Always down for fun pieces like this.
Hit me up if you want something weird in the best way.

Done at the @tahoetattooshow this past weekend! What an amazing time! 😁🤘

When I heard this song I felt inspired. Writing has always helped me in life but I haven’t really shared it with others. This is what I felt when listening to this song. I might start doing more content like this, still playing around with the style.
𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞 🌊

Thank you for these feelings.
Diving straight into life and feeling it all.
Uncomfortable at times,
Painful, sad, happy, hopeful, exciting,
Up and down, sometimes balanced.
These feelings lead us, not guide us.

Open your heart to them, soak them up.
The power we have is limitless.
Find that frequency and ride the wave.
Experience what it means to be this
Feeling being.
Using these senses to feel
As much of this universe as possible.

Looking back on this year, it was one of my most challenging. These last few were heavy but we keep plugging through.

Through a pandemic, wildfire, winter of the century and this year our community lost some incredible people, who I’m so grateful to have met and learned what I could from them. Thank you Kyle 🧡 and Sam.💙 I said goodbye to my best friend and partner of ten years as our paths lead in different directions. This new journey, I look forward to learning from, and truly loving myself.

Through all these obstacles. All we can do is take the next step. Im so thankful for the support from my family, friends and this Lake Tahoe community which helped me to overcome these challenges. I’m grateful for all the loss has taught me.

Through loss we learn what is truly important. It’s shown me the truth about fear, that faith is stronger. I’ve learned to jump straight into life. Experience It all, dive in and soak it up! The good the bad, happy or sad, we are meant to FEEL it all!

Heading straight into the new year staying consistent, happy and healthy! Let’s make the best of this time we have, be in the moment, feel it and share it with each other, we are all one.

“Farewell Tahoe Edit” 🏔🌲💙 “@kendogmakendamas was just a dream at first…. It came to fruition sooner than expected but I wouldn’t have it any other way. If it weren’t for Topher Lauria @stixstickly Kendogma would never have been born. Topher, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to show me kendama. I bought my first set up in December of 2021. I still have it, it’s a @mrboogiet @sweetskendamas mod on the Sweets Boost ken. It has truly changed my life for the better. Kendama helped me to stay sober and now I have been sober from alcohol for one year and six months. Kendama helped me to form bonds and relationships with people that I truly believe that I never would have met if it were not for finding them through kendama. Thank you Lake Tahoe for being such a great home to me and for being the birthplace of Kendogma. Thank you to Kendama for keeping me on track and pushing myself to do things that I only dreamt of. And thank you so very much Topher for showing me kendama. Much love from my soul to yours. We still have lots of tricks left to film! This is just another new chapter in this grand book that we call life….” - Jacob Crawford @dogma.dama 🏔🌲💙 taken in South Lake Tahoe, California by @stixstickly

What an incredible weekend! This was my third time attending, seeing how the community has grown and flourished over the years is truly magical ✨⠀
⠀
Van Jam has always been my favorite event because the focus has always been on fun and the love of Kendama. Yes it’s still competitive but there is something special about this event. ⠀
⠀
It was awesome having @_jamal_mashburn_widit_ on another sick road trip up the west coast! 🚴🏼💨 ⠀
⠀
