2008 is over.
Well we've completed our first year. Let's take this time to look back at what we've achieved in 2008!
We began in January not even knowing how to screen print. We learned it all from youtube videos and forum posts. Here's a pic from our early attempts:
In February we launched a brutally raw website with 6 t-shirt designs and 2 tote bags. We got noticed right away and got our first t-shirt blog reviews.

In March we began incorporating our back logo a defining characteristic to our current look.
May brought on the addition of the Army and Raspberry color scheme.
In June we went to our first tattoo convention which lead us to 2 other tattoo conventions in the following months. By the way, we will be attending all the same shows we were at last year and even adding on some new ones.
August was the beginning of Akumu Ink in boutiques/tattoo shops and promoting one of our first bands.
I'd just like to thank everyone who's been supporting Akumu Ink. We are excited to see what 2009 will bring us. We have a whole new year of monthly designs and handmade products we will be more than happy to produce for you.
