Long Beach tattoo artist and owner of Fear City Tattoo, Nestor Zelaya is hosting a fundraiser for the Tattoo Heritage Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, raising funds and awareness to establish the first National tattoo art museum, Tattoo Heritage Museum, to be located in Long Beach, CA.
This two day event in partnership with Happy Sundays will host tattoo artists, creating original artwork and priced within $100-$300 depending on design. No custom work, just bangers off of flash designed by artists, as part of an homage to old school tattooing practices.
Nestor recently attended the Tattoo Heritage Project’s presentation to the Long Beach ACT (Arts, Culture and Tourism) Committee, and has been a supporter of this cause. The presentation was met with a unanimously favorable response, which then led to dialogues with other city entities, including economic development and tourism. “When I first heard about the Tattoo Heritage Project, I immediately recognized the importance of such a movement, not only as a tattooer but as a long time Long Beach resident. Tattooing has been woven in human history since the early days of man. It is important culturally throughout the world and yet it still holds such a strong stigma in society, and the only way to overcome that is through education. We have lost so much important history of American tattooing due to the isolating nature of this industry, and it's a shame. Tattooing is about giving back and never taking from it. It has given me a means to feed my family, support the community I live in, and form bonds with some of the best people I have ever met. I'll always be in service of tattooing, and when I saw the chance to help the project I jumped on the opportunity.”
Happy Sundays, a free two day multi venue event started by musicians Scott Montoya and Julia Kugel-Montoya. On it’s eighth edition, it’s taking the shape of the pioneer days of the SXSW experience. This year 7 venues participate in hosting around 50 bands. In addition to music and tattooing, comedy and aerospace talks are part of the weekend event’s programming.
Tattoo Heritage Project 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded by legendary Tattoo Artists, Good Time Charlie Cartwright and Long Beach’s own Kari Barba, in addition to founding board members Jack Rudy, JD Crowe, Corey Miller, and Chuey Quintanar, have seen a series of nationwide events being held by tattooers, early adopter cities like San Antonio, Houston, Spokane, and Tucson have already held events to either help raise funds or spread the word about the project.
Joining Good Time Charlie and Kari Barba on the board of Tattoo Heritage Project, Josh Chesler — who brought Happy Sundays into the mix — says “As tattooing has grown as a global industry and artform over the last couple of decades, it’s due time it receives an institution to honor and maintain its history and heritage just like many other culturally important mediums. By bringing the Tattoo Heritage Project to Happy Sundays, we can introduce its mission to many people who may be unfamiliar with it and increase its presence in what is arguably the most important city in tattoo history.”
Chesler, a longtime tattoo journalist and historian, currently works in communications at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and helped curate the museum’s Tattoo exhibit in 2017.
The Pike’s history in tattooing is a story seldom told here in Long Beach, although known in tattoo circles world wide. Good Time Charlie, who frequented the pike from the mid 1950s into the mid 70s recalls, “The Pike was a naval port and tattoo parlors thrived in that area. A lot of notable tattooers got their start here, in the business. For that reason alone, The Pike or the area of Long Beach has played a great role in American tattooing. Working at the Pike was kind of a formative institution for Tattooers. People have grown to automatically associate Long Beach and the Pike with Tattooing. I worked there for three years in the early 70’s, and that’s where I started professionally tattooing, I would actually say publicly tattooing. I always did private stuff before that. But The Pike is where I got my chops too.”
“The Pike as we knew it, is nonexistent today. There is only one Tattoo shop that remains from The Pike days, that’s the original shop of Bert Grimm’s, which is the oldest, continually run shop today in the US (since 1927). It’s now named Outer Limits Tattoo and owned/operated by Kari Barba. It’s the only remnant that remains, it’s in the original spot, and I thank her for that, and most American Tattoo Artists and enthusiasts should thank her for that too. For preserving that piece of American History.”
Another highlight is Tattoo Heritage Project board members Corey Miller and Josh Chesler will be playing music across the street from Fear Tattoo at Alex's Bar on Saturday, August 24. Corey's band Powerflex 5 which includes legend Steve Alba goes on at 6pm. Josh's band Decent Times takes the stage at 3pm.
An open house event at Outer Limits Tattoo and Museum will be held on Friday August 23, and will have docents on hand for a few hours to talk one on one with people about Long Beach tattoo history, and why it’s important to honor and preserve.
Good day everyone, my name is Arlene Glover, and I’m reaching out from Paris. My husband and I have always been cautious with our investments, and for years, we’ve run a joint business together. A couple of months ago, we decided to explore cryptocurrency as an investment option and came across a platform that appeared legitimate with promising reviews. We invested a significant portion of our savings, totaling $178,000 in Bitcoin. Initially, everything seemed fine, and we even saw some returns, encouraging us to invest more. However, things took a turn when the platform began demanding additional payments to unlock more funds or access our profits. Eventually, we realized it was a scam, and all our money had disappeared, leaving us frustrated and helpless. During this difficult time, I came across a post about Asset Rescue Specialist , a company that claimed to recover lost or stolen funds, including those from fraudulent cryptocurrency platforms. After reading positive reviews, I decided to reach out to them, providing all the necessary information. To our surprise, within just 48 hours, Asset Rescue Specialist had managed to recover our entire investment. We were in complete shock and incredibly relieved, grateful for their professionalism and expertise. Now, we are sharing our experience to recommend Asset Rescue Specialist to anyone who has fallen victim to similar scams. If you’ve been defrauded by a fake cryptocurrency platform or any other fraudulent activity, we strongly encourage you to contact them. Their team is efficient, reliable, and dedicated to helping people get their hard-earned money back.Contact Email; assetrescuespecialist@qualityservice(.)com Or WhatsApp,+ 1 9 0 3 5 5 9 1 7 3 3

It all started with an irresistible promise: a guaranteed 110% return in just 14 days. The websites inversely com and copyread com were boasting about the incredible returns they could generate, claiming that if I invested $1,000, I would see $1,100 in return after only two weeks. As a novice investor, the idea of such rapid, high returns seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, I decided to take the plunge and invested $30,000 into each platform, hoping to cash in on these “guaranteed” profits. The first few days passed without incident, and I started to feel confident that I was on the right track. However, as the 14-day period came to a close, my excitement quickly turned into frustration. Despite logging in to check on my funds, I couldn’t access any of my money. It was like my account had disappeared. Emails to customer service went unanswered, and any attempts to withdraw my earnings were met with a series of vague error messages. What I thought was a smart investment began to feel more like a nightmare. I was left completely stuck, unable to withdraw a single penny. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I had likely fallen victim to an online scam. Desperate and unsure where to turn, I reached out to a friend I met on TikTok, who had mentioned being in a similar situation before. They recommended that I get in touch with Folkwin Expert Recovery—a service they had used to recover their own lost funds from another shady platform. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, the team at Folkwin Expert Recovery responded quickly and began to guide me through the process. They explained how common these types of scams were and assured me that they could help recover my money. After a financial commitment on my part, the team worked diligently to track down my lost funds. Within a few weeks, I had successfully recovered all of my $60,000.Thanks to ( FOLKWINEXPERTRECOVERYTECH-CENTER. COM),Whatsapp/ +1 740-705-0711 I was not only able to get my money back but also received valuable advice on how to safely invest in cryptocurrency. They helped me understand which platforms are legitimate and how to avoid risky ventures in the future. The service they provided was truly invaluable, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their assistance. If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation caught up in a scam or unsure where to turn for help I highly recommend reaching out to Folkwin Expert Recovery the only solution, to recover lost or your stolen Crypto/Usd/Btc/Ethereum without falling victim to Scams….

The broker promised me significant profits and I was initially successful in trading, which built trust with the broker. I have never been so inconsolable in my life, having given them my utmost trust only to be fooled in this manner. While looking for help after losing my investment funds. I came across numerous endorsements and testimonials about THE HACK ANGELS RECOVERY EXPERT. I reached out to him without hesitating and the outcome was wonderful.

I met this “Susana” online, and we communicated via WhatsApp. At some point Susana brought up the topic of investing in crypto assets and introduced me to a site called dydxcc.com where Susana claimed to be a senior representative. At first, I invested approximately $19,000, and we were able to withdraw a small portion of my funds. Over time, the site showed that my investment had increased to $421,000. But when I tried to withdraw a larger amount, the online customer service for the site denied my request, claiming that my request was being reviewed for security reasons. Then Dydxcc.com claimed that because I had chosen a “High Yield Account,” in order to make large withdrawals I was required to be a “VIP” customer, requiring my account to contain at least $1,000,000, or else I could pay a 20% fee of my current value of my account to withdraw funds. I refused to pay the $44,415 fee, and the site then froze my account and denied further withdrawals. I then reached out to Susana, who claimed she had faced a similar experience and that the only option was to pay the fee. I have been unable to recover my funds, and the website was no longer accessible. I referred two friends to dxyxcc.com, who invested over $467,000 and encountered similar experiences. WE had to seek for help, I read so many reviews about RECOVERYCOINGROUP at GMAIL dot COM and decided to work with him, I provided him with everything they needed and I got my capital back; because of the result I got from RCG I requested they also recover that of my friends which they did. Although it wasn’t free and I didn’t regret reaching out to them. I humbly recommend Recovery Coin Group for your scam recovery services.
