Josh Solomon

Josh Solo is an awesome dude. Its as simple as that.
He keeps himself busy working at Cheapskates KP and is doing more and more tattoos at 'Two hands' in Ponsonby everyday whilst tearing shit up at New Lynn Bowl. He was kind enough to answer a few questions for CJ13 recently but first I jotted down ten things I know about him:
1. He can grow a beard like a wizard so amazing I wouldn't be surprised if a family of birds nested in it while he was asleep.
2. He has so much love for New Lynn Bowl he has NLB tattooed on himself.
3. He is one of the few genuinely kind, friendly and most positive dudes you'll ever meet.
4. He has killer old school tricks ready at his disposal as soon as he steps on a board.
5. PMA tattoo- nuff said.
6. Has excellent musical tastes.
7. Has played in bands such as 'snake run'.
8. Is an excellent artist and becoming an amazing tattooist.
9. Is a vegetarian (vegan?) straight edge wussbag! ha ha no disrespect !
10. Has a filthy mouth that would make a sailor blush and some very creative spelling on the 15KP blog he does ;-)
