Hawai'i tattoo regulations are horribly out of date; they were written in 1981. In this year's legislative session there were 2 bills, both quite inappropriate, that deregulated tattooing. Determined to kill these bills, several dozen O'ahu tattooists banded together to create more appropriate legislation. After several meetings, numerous phone surveys and hours of work, new legislation was drafted, and a meeting with all the key players took place July 7th at the state Capital. An Associated Press article is online at http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080708/hi_tattoo_licensing.html?.v=1 or view the same article with images at http://starbulletin.com/2008/07/08/news/story10.html.

One of the most amazing resources on things Hawaiian is at http://www.ulukau.org/english.php. This is an online data base of numerous books, the Hawaiian dictionary, and approx. 10,000+ pages of the historic Hawaiian newspapers, all searchable by keyword. It truly is amazing.
