The best gifts are the ones that remind you how far friendship can travel @drawers_brush_art_works and @the_bell_213 came all the way from Japan bearing gifts and spent time with us at the Tip Top booth. Having you guys there felt like family coming home.

Enjoy every mile of your time in the States, my brothers. Godspeed, and I’ll see you in Yokohama for the Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show. Until then, thank you for the love.

Feeling grateful and deeply honored to be tattooing @ryota_098 at @old_rose_crepe Okinawa. Being trusted with a neck area tattoo carries a great deal of responsibility—it’s one of the highest honors a tattooer can receive.

The only way to approach something like this is with respect, gratitude, and your absolute best.

Thank you, Ryota, @tobi.oldrosetattoo , and everyone at Old Rose for the love, trust, and support. 🙏🏼

Keeping tradition with my family in Japan 🇯🇵—sharing meals, drinking beers, telling stories, and making time for one another. This is true wealth. “There’s still lots of good in the world.” - Johnny Cade

24 hours in Okinawa. Typhoons can’t stop hearts like these.

So many talented people came together today @old_rose_crepe Chatan—pinstripers, chainstitchers, barbers, tattooers, crepes, coffee, good music and even better people. Different crafts, different backgrounds, all connected by the same love for what we do.

I can’t express my gratitude enough to everyone who showed up and made today what it was.

@tobi.oldrosetattoo , my brother—I’m proud to call you family. Thank you for making Okinawa feel like home.

Hopefully I’ll see many of you again soon at Mooneyes Yokohama.

Until then… let’s keep the party going. ⚡️🇯🇵⚡️

Summer hits different in Over-the-Rhine.

The streets stay busy, the music spills out onto the sidewalks, and the tattoo machines keep humming. Whether you’re grabbing a matcha tea, catching a Reds game, or just wandering the neighborhood, stop by @tiptoptattoocincy and leave with a souvenir that lasts longer than summer.

Bold lines. Good people. Classic tattoos.

Some roads lead to destinations. Others lead to stories.

@dreperalestattoo is taking @tiptoppomade back on the road—from Born Free to Seoul, Tokyo, Nagoya, Okinawa, Boise to Pittsburgh, Mexico City, T.R.O.G., Madrid with the @bengals , and Yokohama @mooneyesjp —bringing barbering, tattooing, and pop-up booths wherever the journey leads.

A barber chair, a tattoo machine, a suitcase full of merchandise, and a passport full of stamps. New cities, old friends, late nights, and the kind of memories you can’t plan for.

The best part of the road isn’t where you’re going—it’s the people you meet along the way.

Buy the ticket. Take the ride!!!!

The best trips are never really about the destination.

They’re about the people waiting for you when you get there.

August 29 – September 1, @dreperalestattoo and @tiptoppomade head south to Okinawa for a few days of tattooing, storytelling, late nights, and shared traditions with our friend @tobi.oldrosetattoo

A place where the ocean meets old neighborhoods, where culture runs deep, and where friendships are built one conversation, one tattoo, and one drink at a time.

No tourist checklist. No rushed itinerary. Just good people, honest work, and the kind of experiences that remind you why you started this journey in the first place.

More details coming soon. Until then, we’re looking forward to the road ahead and the friends we’ll meet along the way.

Okinawa, we’ll see you soon.

Special thanks ⛓️🙏🏼⛓️ @tobi.oldrosetattoo @masa8ball @yuki_td_ @tiptoppomade_japan

Black and grey dreams rolling slow through the city lights…
chrome reflections, white walls, and smoke in the midnight air.
Traditional soul with West Coast spirit.
