It might seem early to open up a flagship store for Black Scale but it felt right for us to open up at such a young age being on the market place. What was once a dream is here and we have a hugh responsibility to keep this dream alive. We wanted to thank everyone that have supported us these past few years for giving us the opportunity to share our vision and believing in us. San Francisco is home to Black Scale so it made sense for us to open the first store in San Francisco. Being such a young company with a minimal offering we hope one day to offer a larger collection so we can hopefully open up more flagship stores and accounts worldwide. For now we have our first store to concentrate on and will have special projects and products that we will share with all of you.

We started out with four designs that we put on tees that introduced the story behind Black Scale. The first season was the introduction to the story and the second, third, fourth and fifth season spoke about each chapter which had a dedicated theme behind it.

1ST CHAPTER: INTRODUCTION
4 Designs/T-shirts
RELIGION, GOVERNMENT, IDENTITY, DEATH
The four designs/subjects (Religion, Government, Identity, Death) was each on a t-shirt that became a whole chapter (season) that spoke about that subject.

2ND CHAPTER: RELIGION
Everything in this chapter focused on religion and how our parents tried to guide us to the religion they felt was right for us.

3RD CHAPTER: GOVERNMENT
Everything in this chapter focused on the government and how we learned about our history and the government that tries to control us.

4TH CHAPTER: IDENTITY
Everything in this chapter focused on a person’s identity and how we grow as humans to become who we are.

5TH CHAPTER: DEATH
Everything in this chapter focused on death and how everything eventually dies.

“We are born and our parents teach us about religion and guide us to which god we should praise so we have an understanding of faith. We get older and we start our education and we learn about mankind’s history and learn about the government that surrounds us. We mature and we find our identity and which routes we take to survive. Then we die.”

Black Scale x Us Versus Them collab coming soon. More details coming soon

I met Norm about 6 years ago in San Francisco from the homie Akeem (Mad Hectic) and before I met Norm I remember seeing his large burners around the city that you couldn’t miss because his letters would be one floor tall on the side of a building. Norm and I kept in touch and that led to being tatted by The Grime when Norm was an apprenticed under him. Norm will be opening his new shop in Los Angeles located on Fairfax Ave in between Supreme and Hall of Fame. I was stoked that I was the first person he tattooed in his new shop and look forward to seeing his new venture take off. He has been tattooing some of the boys and myself this past year and it’s been a party since the beginning.
