Tattoo News - August 2005
ON THE WEB
An excellent book on Easter Island is online at http://www.chauvet-translation.com/ It is a complete translation of "Easter Island and Its Mysteries," published in Paris in 1935 by Dr. Stéphen-Chauvet, translated by Ann M. Altman and edited by Shawn McLaughlin, with reproductions of the original illustrations, The CD is also available with high resolution images for just $20. Check it out! There is a section on Rapanui tattoo.
A good bibliography of Polynesian tattoo books is at
http://www.hawaii.gov/hidocs/tattooing.html Most of these books are in-print & should be available from online sellers. Try http://www.abebooks.com.
I'm interviewed in an article on Polynesian Tattoo from Pain Magazine online at http://painmag.com/ The article is not bad despite the misspellings & typographical errors. All the photos are contemporary & not to be mistaken for
traditional designs.
A website with a number of Marquesan motifs from Karl von den Steinen's 1896 work is at http://www.mare.de/mare/schatztruhe/beschreibung.php#a Get out your German dictionary! I've been told of a first edition of von den Steinen's volume on Marquesan tattoo for sale (price: $1000. neg.) If you are seriously
interested, send me an e-mail & I'll put you in contact with the seller.
In researching the history of Chinatown, I ran across an interesting article on the history of prostitution in Honolulu. I had no idea it was once legal & so organized! See http://www.chinatownhi.com/dousing.asp for an interesting read.
I'm repeating this announcement as I am still getting 5+ requests daily: I do not do design work unless I am doing the actual tattoo but Michael Lothian, an artist in Australia does via e-mail for a reasonable fee. You can see some of his work at: http://www.poto-originalz.com Just keep clicking on the images.
