This was my first time bringing my family to Ink and Iron, it was a great experience as a family. We enjoyed the day watching the view on the Queen Mary.  Here is my son enjoying this group playing music, i love to involve my son and show him different things as he  grows up.Another great view from  the top of the Queen Mary. I really like classic cars cars so i really enjoyed this picture of all these cars. amazed  Amazing how there is many different ways to create art on people skin. Here is a picture of the many ways of tattooing. Had the chance to watch “Juan Puente” tattoo at Ink and Iron, also known as  a tattoo machine builder. Here is a picture of  “Big Meas” a master tattoo artist in lettering. And to end the day I took my family to have dinner at  “Honduras Kitchen” in Long Beach CA. “Raiden Mendoza”
