Welcome to the "DOPE ERA"

So despite the fact that some fashion have jumped the shark Stanley Cox best known as "Mistah F.A.B" and childhood friends have brought life back to an ERA that was and still is... DOPE! 
Born and raised in OAKLAND, CA, the urban wear speaks volumes, and connects not only with fashion, but music, art and history. Bringing the old yet new fresh urban wear to a generation we call now the millennials, but also keeping the generation that actually are from this ERA in mind as well. 

From music, writing, producing, directing and wearing so many different hats in the entertainment business, it was only right for Stanley to get into the fashion scene. The motivation and inspiration he gives on a daily matches is exactly what our young king and queens need today. Stanley is a Prime example that anyone can accomplish their goals & dreams by putting in hard work, despite trials & tribulations.

Lyfestyle Ink!

You're probably thinking, "Here is another blog about a Tattoo shop". Nope! I'm here to tell you this is not just another shop, this is "Lyfestyle Ink". Artist, Owner, and CEO Daniel Hernandez has made a name not only himself as an artist, but his dream. I've known Daniel for over 5 years now and his only vision/baby has been "Lyfestyle Ink".

Established in September 2012 in San Mateo California, Lyfestyle Ink quickly grew a name for itself, but not only in San Mateo but all over the bay area. As Lyfestyle Ink grew, the shop also complimented upcoming young businesses and entrepreneurs from all over.

Lyfestyle Ink has a relaxed and vintage atmosphere. From the blacked out chandelier hanging from the ceiling when you first walk in, to the jacquard designed walls, the beautiful art work that catches your eye, to the clean, comfortable stations ready to take on new and prior customers. 

Daniel has established Lyfestyle Ink not from celebrities, special guests or appearances. His customer based was all through word of mouth, continued support from customers, and as social media elevated over the years so did his customers. Lyfestyle Ink has a 4.8/5 rating on Yelp!, #1 on the Google search top list for SEO, and the body artwork is uncanny. 

To sum it all up! Lyfestyle Ink will surely be around for years and years to come, I can't wait to see how many more artists and apprentices grow with Lyfestyle Ink. 

So, whether you have tattoos, or looking to get your first tattoo, you would be doing your body great justice in going to the right place. Always remember, you're not just getting a "Tattoo" it's a "Lyfestyle".

Black Friday Vs.Cyber Monday Deals

It's that time of the year again!!! The holidays is here and we all try to get those good deals that all the stores or online sites are having. We all struggle whether or not to actually go in store to shop, or just wait for Monday to shop online. based on my experience here is my pros and cons below:

Black Friday:
Pros-

• Shopping with a friends/Group
• Prices could be better
• Physically handling what you are buying
• Might miss a good deal only offered if you go

Cons-

• Parking
• Huge Crowds
• Long Lines
• Price markdowns after Black Friday
• Missed time with family (unless they go with)

Cyber Monday:

Pros-

• Accessible by computer/mobile
• Shop in your PJ's
• For stay at home mom's don't need a babysitter
• Deals are usually better (Competing with stores for higher close out numbers)
• Easily compare prices online 

Cons-

• Possible delayed shipping
• Possible damage
• Possible online fraud
• Won't be able to see merchandise til it arrives
• May have return issues

There you have it. Overall I do a little bit of both but mainly online shopping is my preferred choice. Happy shopping!!!
