Yo
Surfriders, It's been awhile since I've posted. Second day in a row that I surfed PW with only Myself and Trey out. Today far exceeded my expectations , with some great stomach + reeling lines and the water feels great. It's with a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of my friend
Hopie "the Nurse"
Qual. It was 20 years ago this month that I moved
Hopie to Wilmington and opened Marks of Distinction Tattoo Shop on Oleander Dr. It was the first tattoo shop in Wilmington , and now there is one on every corner.
Hopie was the true trail blazer and one of the first women to go big in the tattoo industry. H
opie was an awesome artist and
I'm sporting a lot of her work, and will always cherish to great times and tattoo's I shared with her. If it wasn't for
Hopie I would have never met by beautiful wife Melissa.
Hopie was a nurse , mother, friend and a hell of a character and I will miss her dearly. Going to try to dig up some old pix from the old days at Lucky Tiger and wild party nights. R.I.P.
Hopie I w
ill miss greatly and am happy I have so much to remember you by every time I look in the mirror , Andy
