Last weekend, I saw my friends @terrorhardcore put on the show of their lives opening for @obituaryband in LA. It was the first time in over a year that I’d gone out to a show. I rolled with my homie @dougweber82 (ex-Terror, ex-REBEL8). Thanks @foreverlawless! Between sets, while catching up at the bar, Doug reminded me that I gave him his first real job after he left the band. He joined REBEL8 back when we were still in SF, helping out in the warehouse. He quickly became our sales rep—because Doug is one of those people you just want to be around. And people buy from people they like. It’s that simple. And it matters. After Doug came on board, we started thinking—how could we tour again? This was hella years ago, and back then, brands didn’t tour. Music artists weren’t really running full-blown clothing lines or selling merch year-round either. So we leaned into what felt real. To connect our tattoo roots to the idea of touring, we started hitting tattoo conventions across the country. It made sense. Conventions were affordable, and at the time, a lot of tattooers rocked with REBEL8. It was organic. It was ours. To support the idea, @ogmikegiant and I selected a few of his illustrations to showcase—and made them available exclusively on the tour. Now, all these years later, I find myself in this full-circle moment. Working with Mike again. Reconnecting with Doug. Looking to build something new in hardcore. Going back to our roots—not just metaphorically, but for real. And this time, I want to bring you with us. Yeah, you read that right. I want you involved. Why not let you have a say in what we bring back? Some of you’ve been part of this since day one. There would be no REBEL8—22 years later—without you. So here’s what I’m thinking: As I continue to work with Giant on new art, let’s also dig into the archives—together. Comment your top choice from the REBEL8 archives. Just one. Don’t hit me with “I want them all.” I’m only printing one for now. Let’s do this. Slide to see your options from the original REBEL8 Tattoo Tour and comment below.
