Critically acclaimed, fine line black & grey tattoo/fine artist Jun Cha has recently returned for yet another tour in Paris, France to kick off 2012 … and shares some of his latest works.

Renowned for his multiple lifestyle collaborations for The Hundreds, C1RCA and Black Scale, as well as his recent cover in Juxtapoz Tattoo II book, the rising 22-year-old has come a long way in a short time.

Coming up under the great Jose Lopez, Cha has built an impressive collection of work, helping him garner recognition from a score of tastemakers and celebrities, while internationally campaigning year-round to tattoo clients around the world.

These photos are just a few of the pieces he finished while on the road.

This is how a man should treat himself after his sneaky Rican ex-wife shits on him. …well ‘soon to be’ ex wife. Anyway, as you should know, she’s rich for life after the fiasco that is taking place between them. Nonetheless, Kobe is still young and now single and ready to mingle with a new crib which has six bedrooms and a two-level “sport court.”

Wiz is cooking something up with the controversial R&B singer(rapper?) Chris Breezy Brown. Lets see what they come up with. Maybe ‘Black & Yellow 2′, since Chris Brown’s hair is black one day, and yellow the next.

I’m not even going to joke about this situation. I just know that whatever is cooked up in this studio will be impressive as long as these two are involved. Let’s make a ‘Section 80,000′ please.

This baby either saw some good Gerber, or some old titties with old milk in it. Look out for this project later on this January.

Gunplay’s dawg said they was gon’ be rich one day. Now his boss gives us the artwork for the mixtape that says he gon’ be rich for all-time.

More Maybach music coming soon (British chicks not included).

As Tip readies the release of his F#ck Da City up mixtape after the ball drops this New Year’s Eve, he lets loose the cover art for the upcoming project. The cover looks like you just walked onto the set of Cloverfield.

Drops Jan 30th.

Says Rick Ross,

I’ve most definitely been a fan of Hov and his whole movement. He gave a blueprint to a lot of young entrepreneurs, as well as Wayne, with how active Wayne is with artists. There’s a lot of different approaches, but at the end of the day, we’ve just got to be hands-on and walk our own path.

T.I. on people criticizing Tiny for not taking the drug charge.

“I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me,” begins his rant. “We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”

VIBE: I doubt she would have gotten any time.
T.I.: She wasn’t gonna catch it period, ’cause I’m there. That wasn’t even a consideration. Even if she asked me to I would’ve been like, “Nah, you trippin’.”

So you didn’t feel you were more valuable to your family, employees and business partners on the street?
That’s a discussion between me and another man. Not with the mother of my children. Not with the nurturer of my household.
