My SCHEDULE
Aug. 5th - Sept. 5th home on O'ahu Sept. 10th - 21st SF Bay Area (Pleasanton) Sept. 26th - Oct. 7th Los Angeles (Redondo Beach) Oct. 9th - Oct. 19th Oceanside (Momilani's) Oct. 23rd I'll be home for only a week prior to heading to Tahiti! early Dec. I'll head back to the SF area again.
The schedule is pretty full, as always, but I can do consultations, and I always keep a wait list in case of cancellations. If you are seriously interested, please call me at 808-734-8677 BEFORE Sept 5th, or e-mail tattoo@lava.net, although I far prefer the phone for initial inquiries as I talk far faster than I type, and I rarely e-mail while on the mainland. Details on locations & dates are on the web at http://www.tattootraditions.alohaworld.com/schedule.htm
Aloha! Tricia
