1 DAY WITH HABITAT IN HONGMUTHAFUCKINKONG
So, Habitat just finished their trip to Shen Zhen and came back for a day to Hong Kong to shoot some more footage’s here.
After all, Hong Kong is most definitely 60 times better than Shen Zhen, sorry fellas.
The one thing that I missed on their trip was not beng able to see Danny Garcia doing a backside tailslide wearing a V-Neck tee shirt (FITTED, not slim) and a pair of straight fit pants.
I told him to do it but he was too tired and was plann...Read more
Yesterday was Mother’s Day and something special was happening at 8FIVE2SHOP as well.
The crew from Miami Ink were here filming their new show called World Tribes and 3 of the main fellas; Ami, Chris and Yoji came to 8FIVE2SHOP to check it out.
Our Hong Kong Tattoo godfather, Gabe took them to the shop! Dayeem, their crew was no joke, super super professional, from the director, cameraman, and all the staff, they all know what they’re doing 110%. Mad legit, there’s a reason why a show like Miami Ink is so successful!

First of all, thank GOD for such wonderful weather today! Amazing sunshine with breeze, Hong Kong needs more of this kind of weather.
We (Daryl Angel, Brennan Conroy, Silas, Marius Syvanen) headed to Mei Foo Skatepark at 5:15pm from Causeway Bay, it was still bright. We got there at around 6:00pm. The crowd was super mellow today cause it’s a Tuesday and we didn’t have enough notice to promote the demo. It ended up being a jam session, it was even better. Silas, Marius and Daryl represented, of cour...Read more
While Luz from Gravis was in town, I whooped her butt consecutively at GMT ping pong match after match until rightfully winning 4 pairs of Gravis shoes!!!
Yes it was glorious and now I have the shoes that arrived in the mail to prove my conquest!!!
I love how there are ping pong ball looking circles all over the shoes to remind me of my winnings!
Luz, your a great competitor…looking forward to your next trip….bring on the intoxicating wine…I can still whoop your butt!

One of his projects is a magazine by the name of GALLERI. If you are in town, most definitely check it out.

A few weeks ago we were invited to see The Hong Kong Film Festival premier of the NEW movie called SHINJUKU INCIDENT starring Jackie Chan, Daniel Wu, Ping Ping Fan, etc
It was a movie about Chinese illegal immigrants trying to make a living in one of the worlds busiest cities Tokyo, Japan.

Shinjuku Incident is Jackie Chan’s first movies where he isn’t doing any crazy stunts or portraying a g...Read more
