The Musée du Quai Branly in Paris  has a major exhibition on tattoo running through October. The New York Times did a nice article at  http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/09/arts/international/capturing-the-spirit-of-the-tattoo.html?emc=eta1&_r=0 

The museum website is http://www.quaibranly.fr/en/programmation/exhibitions/currently/tattooists-tattooed.html

Quite a few other blogs and sites have reviews of the show: https://www.mysciencework.com/news/11378/tattoos-at-the-museum-paris-musee-du-quai-branly-reconciles-art-ethnology  and http://beautifulbizarre.net/2014/05/13/tattooists-tattooed-quai-branly-museum//   also http://sangbleu.com/2014/06/03/review-tatoueurs-et-tatoues-at-quai-branly-museum/

I still have openings in all CA cities, but the sooner you sign up, the better.  I give priority in scheduling according to how early you've signed up.  The earlier, the more appointment times you'll have to choose from once we've decided on what we are doing. You can reach me via email tattoo@lava.net or call 808 734-8677. Details are on my website at http://thepolynesiantattoo.com/schedule.htm
