POLYNESIAN TATTOOS IN SPAIN!
Casa Asia is hosting a Festival of Asia and the Pacific Oct. 10, 11 & 12 in Barcelona, then the 20th through the 25th in Madrid. Two Maori tattooists, Ben Te Hau and Nehe will be tattooing there, and I'll be tattooing & presenting seminars at the Barcelona event. Several films on Polynesian tattoo will be shown as well. The musical group, Te Vaka will also be performing. See http://www.festivalasia.com/

If you are interested in an appointment during the Nov/Dec trip, the best thing to do is get signed up. Instructions are on my website at http://tattootraditions.alohaworld.com/tattootraditions/policy.htm
I do give priority in scheduling according to the date of your deposit, so it's best to sign up soon if you are serious. This trip will fill quickly. There have been enough early sign-ups that I have extended my stay 1 week, so don't snooze!
Now here's the tricky part-- I am largely unavailable by phone or e-mail until I return from Europe in early November. After November 1st, I can be contacted at home: (808) 734-8677.
PLEASE NOTE: I e-mail when I am home in Honolulu only, and I will return from 2 months travel to at least 1500 e-mails. Therefore it is better to phone after my return Nov 1st. I do set aside 2 weeks prior to every CA trip to work with clients on their art & get everyone scheduled, so please contact me shortly after Nov 1st.
Aloha!!
Tricia
