Rukru L.A. Clothing Streetwear T-Shirt Blog

The 7th annual Ink & Iron festival was this weekend at the Queen Mary in Long Beach CA. My buddy Bill and I rolled out Sunday to bask in the amazing custom hot rods, psycobilly tunes, pin-ups, booze and tattoos. The Southern California sun is always a plus for this sort of thing too. Obviously we had a great time, I managed to get out without another random tattoo and there was soooo much going on, I would suggest you check out the Ink & Iron website for the full details. The pics below are just a few shots from outside around the Queen Mary and then the main tattoo convention inside. It was quite a sight to see. Three floors of tattooing, inside an old haunted cruse-liner. Pretty rad. More information about the Queen Mary here.

Just stumbled across this pic of a Rukru Sticker on my phone and thought it was awesome. I just love when there is so many tags that it looks like abstract wallpaper. I think this will be the wallpaper I use when I remodel my imaginary house. This was at a rad joint in Belltown SEA.


Besides the amazing decor of the head, this place had an awesome collection of portrait paintings range from L.A.’s Tupac Shakur to N.Y.C.’s Al Capone beside James Dean, Frank Senatra and an array of pin-up girls with dragons, swords and all sorts of badassness. Excuse the crap photos. The old camera phone sucks in low light.
