My best friend is a tattoo artist. First tattoo I got was of a killer whale, many many years ago. Chuck drew it when we were kids before he was tattooing. Most recent finished tattoo was of the sun. All of it Haida indian style. He did the design (mostly) for the bike, and it;s a mix of those 2 tattoos.




Aaaaahh okay, I was kinda wondering 'bout that. I have lived in and now live close to the Pacific Rim which is where the Haida are from. In Coastal regions especially, there is a strong cultural influence which is reflected in the art one sees out there. For example, the Vancouver International Airport is home to some of the most impressive pieces around. I've had a very long interest in Haida art and the meanings behind it. Very nice.


Live to love, love to live.
