I began tattooing in Pahoa Hawaii over 20 years ago, utilizing traditional Polynesian patterns in a contemporary way, crossing boundaries while keeping oral traditions... an element found in Japanese, Polynesian and American tattooing.
 
 Back in San Francisco and enjoying the opportunity to work with talented artists in the local tattoo community,  I enjoy mixing traditional tattoo themes with new imagery while keeping Polynesian a focus of my connection to the islands.
