Tattoo News - March 2007
ON THE WEB
Since I have so few tattoo links (good Polynesian ones are hard to find!), I'll include some of my other favorites. It is body art, but a slightly different kind. I am so glad there are crazed talented people out there to create such wacky wonders! http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=21785 and
http://freshpics.blogspot.com/2007/01/amazing-hand-painting-art.html Perhaps my all-time favorite is http://www.whypaintcats.com/ Also see:
http://www.clarkmade.com/urinals.html for some VERY
different art!
An interesting article on SF African art collectors is online at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/02/07/HOG8SNTG4E1.DTL
There are some beautiful, artistic animal photos at

BOOKS
Honolulu Magazine has a review of my book, Tattoo Traditions of Hawai'i in it's current issue. It's also online at http://www.honolulumagazine.com/currentmonth.aspx?id=6 Check it out!
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
As some of you know, every year I participate in the MAY DAY FESTIVAL the Sat. before Mother's Day at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. It has always been fun to see everyone there! It's been a kind-of reunion, for many years! This year I will NOT be participating, as booth fees have gone up & the event will be 2 days-- May 12 & 13. I honestly cannot take 2 days away from my
tattooing there, particularly 2 weekend days! I may l be attending Sat morning as a spectator, so maybe we'll cross paths, but otherwise enjoy the festival!
There are two new (well, new to me!) Hawaiian theme bar/restaurants in the SF area. Check out Forbidden Island, a tiki theme lounge in Alameda in the Bay
Station Shopping District, and The Kona Club at 4401 Piedmont in Oakland. Check them out!

You are welcome to come by when I'm in your area-- look through my portfolio, talk about what you are wanting in your tattoo & sign up for next trip. I do consultations while I am working and most of my clients are happy to have a distraction, besides, they've all done the same at one point.
