West Coast Road Trip: High Voltage Tattoo

Our L.A. adventure began with a stop at High Voltage Tattoo in West Hollywood. Being fellow creatives and fans of Kat Von D, we wanted to quickly stop by to see the shop while making our way to Hollywood Hills. We weren't even going to walk in until I pressured Val into checking the availability of a walk-in spot. "You only live once, you'll regret it" is all that was needed to give her the courage to head to the counter. Kevin Lewis was available, and 4 hours later, Val had another unique masterpiece added to her cold shoulder. Kevin turned out to be a former Chicagoan himself. We all shared many similar interests, nerded out and it was awesome. Needless to say we never made it to the Hollywood sign...
