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 https://youtu.be/k4FXk4UmAuM
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 https://youtu.be/ce-MtUNc9i8

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!!
