I tattooed a memorial tattoo for her to commemorate the life of her neice, Ariel, whom recently passed away. I feel extremely honored when I'm asked to make a tattoo for someone that has lost a loved-one. Thank You Amy!

Musink 2012 Orange County California
Booth: A-Town Tattoo Garden Grove California
Filmed: Richie Merritt

I had the pleasure of watching world renowned Polynesian Tatatau Artist Seymour Kahiliaulani Kaniho-Lindsey (apprenticed under Petelo Suluape) 'traditional hand-tap tattoo' all day yesterday. As him and the A-Town Tattoo Crew (Garden Grove, CA) booth was right next to ours at MUSINK. 

Here you can see Seymour and the professional stretcher, Keola Kaahanui-Asuega of A-Town Tattoo, working on a traditional Samoan tattoo in the traditional hand-tap method of Tatau.

Mind Blowing traditional blackwork Polynesian tattooing. And a rad bunch of guys.
