I am living in this world pretty long. But, still can’t get used to hear people’s death. & never will.
once you are born into this world, you will leave this world some day some how.
But, you don’t know when.So, I promised myself when I lost my dear friend long time ago. I wanna enjoy much as I can and live with No regrets.
Unfortunately My friend @normloveletters left us. Very sad day.
But, he left his mark on us. Created a profound impact on my life and beyond.Thank you for my Tokyo Pride 03 tattoo when we traveled together back in the day.
This tattoo means a lot to me.

- From Ivan Parrales:
I can’t believe norm passed away. During my graffiti years he was always someone to look up to. Not only that but one of the top guys in tattoo lettering. I still can’t believe this.

I just found out that @normloveletters passed away today. He was a big influence in my life when I first started tattooing. I grew up in Hawaii. Intrigued by graffiti art and tattoos. I naturally gravitated towards his style and hustle. You will be missed.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
