          Katsushin:

          I went to your blog and the only thing I could say was ho-ly f..k, beautiful work. Amazing.

          I personally am more into Marquesas type of shit, but your stuff is wicked still.

          Man, I wish I had a second pair of arms and legs to start new projects!

                  Until I move to Cali, I guess I wont have the privilege of being tattooed by you! When i was on the East Coast this Summer and last Summer or in Chicago two years ago, I did not see any Pacific island designs. Is there any on the West Coast? Given its proximity to the Pacific, I seem to remember there is a Samoan community in CA. Has there been a Maori/Samoa/Pacific influence in the tattoo scene in Cali?

                    There are some Tongan tattooers in the San Jose area…
                    Beyond that there are usually Samoan and Hawaiian tattooeres that visit conventions on the west coast.

                    Probaly doing a new SF convention in March.
                    And Bert and Steve are bothe great tattooers.  We all sat in at Tattoo City in SF a couple of years ago around the same time.

                      Always a good one.  I've got a large Ganesh piece myself.
                      Here's one I did a few years ago…

                            If you find yourself in Yreka in the middle of Oct, I'll be there for Jody's family reunion…good opportunity to get the hell away from them and get the half sleeve I've been wanting...=)

                              My latest tattoo, I'm doing the whole lower right leg with this awesome Marquesas Islands design. Here is the calf, the shin is not yet finished: I did the sides of the bone, left about 2 inches on the shin bone itself and will do this area (it's going to hurt bad bad bad) September 27.

                                          what does the tattoo in sanskrit say?
