<\/a><\/p>\n Winding down from our five month trip across country, Maria and I decided to spend a week in Florida before driving back to San Clemente, California.<\/p>\n One of our Florida stops was to spend a few days at tattoo artist Mark Longenecker’s.<\/p>\n Mark is the guy I gave my first tattoo<\/a> to (and my last), a couple years ago.<\/p>\n He’s the only person who could talk me into holding a tattoo machine and actually doing it.<\/p>\n Over the years, we’ve painted Escape Camper vans<\/a> together and created tattoo flash<\/a> together.<\/p>\n This time, Mark and I decided to paint a mural on the side of his Endless Summer Tattoo Shop<\/a>. \u00a0The wall is facing A1A, the perfect place to put a mural.<\/p>\n Over wine the night before, Mark and I sat down and tried to brainstorm a design. \u00a0We threw out a few ideas. \u00a0We knew we wanted a wave and a sun. \u00a0But in the end, we decided to just wing it.<\/p>\n
