I drink I love I live


As soon as I got an Iphone and discovered Instagram. I would take drunk picture of myself in the bathroom at bars. I would do this if I had a pretty drink or when I would remember to take a picture. Because when you are drunk.... a lot can happen. So here are the results.....





MAVEN in Lower Haight San Francisco

Smuggler's Cove. Legendary Rum Bar. Civic Center Area of San Francisco. That's the lovely and legendary Adam Saake and his co worker homegirl. Forgotten her drunk name!

In Brooklyn, New York at Green Heights. Rum and Fresh Squeeze Lemonata!

Same place as the photo above but in the bathroom.

Citrus Club on Upper Haight in San Francisco

Bistro Granbinus

Walking home from a good night of Drinking.... Anyone remember this crew from Sacramento? Do they still exist???? Dope little hip hop crew. No idea if it is the same people. I was just in love with my walk and whatever I discovered on the way.

THE KOI FISH Swimming UpStream Back Piece TATTOO by Greg Pezzoni

Greg Pezzoni began working on my back piece in January 2012.  He finished it in December of 2012. I went for two sessions per month. I had other parts of this back piece done by other artist, but Greg was so non judgmental and open to collaborating with me what I wanted to do with this canvas of mine. He really made it happen and I am so blessed to meet such a skillful artist that is very known for line detail work.  He currently resides in San Francisco.  

The back piece is several koi fish swimming upstream, Two gigantic lotus flowers and detailed waves and rocks. I think the work speaks for itself and I do not feel I need to ever explain my tattoos or why I even get tattoos.   APRIL FREDRIKSON
