Tattoo News - July/August 2019



The National Gallery of Australia has an impressive exhibition on Maori moko.
While we can't feasibly get to the museum to view it, there are some good images
and video online, see

There's a nice 4 minute episode also on Maori moko in Tales from Te Papa, a
great series of videos based on traditional arts and artifacts. Watch it at

Have you ever wondered why Samoan tattoo persisted throughout the years while
tattoo practices became obsolete in so many other island groups? You'll be
interested in reading https://www.sapiens.org/body/samoan-tattoo/


An educational video discussing tattoo and tapa as a type of graphic
communication is the focus of a Ted Talk.  See

Please check out my website (esp. the SCHEDULE and FAQ links) and call 808
734-8677 or e-mail tattoo@lava.net with your phone number & a short description
of what you have in mind    My schedule in LA
(actually North Redondo) is nearly full, but I always keep a wait-list in case
of cancellations.  There are  plenty of openings in the SF area, but
sign up QUICK before that fills!


If you are a new client it will be helpful to read over the FAQ on my site..


I am also scheduling appointments to do cosmetic tattoo, specifically
microblading eyebrows. This is a semi-permanent ink that is designed to fade in
2 - 3 years. I use hand tools and anesthetics and strive for a very natural look
simply enhancing the natural shape of your brow; if you want current fashion
trends, that's not me. If you are interested, please see my schedule below and
contact me for a free consultation.  Book before July 15th for this trip
and receive a 20% discount!!
