For the men of the Marquesas, tattoos were a sign of beauty and bravado because the process of receiving a tattoo was so painful. Many ‘victims” (as tattoo recipients were called) fainted from the pain and some did not survive the night. A man with many tattoos was known as having great courage and strength. Tattoos were also used throughout Polynesia as a form of “written” communication-important cultural and family information would be contained in them.

I love seeing the outcome of peoples ideas, pics, and your touch of artistic talents to each tattoo that is entrusted to you. You all do a wonderful job and would love to have you do one on me. I have a great one planned that has a lion fighting a Cobra and enscripted with pieces of 3 Bible verses from Rev: 20:2,3,14 This is the one I would love to have Kat do for me!!! I have six tattoos and each are because I wanted them for one reason or more. I have one on my left shoulder, my first which is a black cross outlined with Red shadow as a simble for christ bleeding for us. One on my left wrist, KW, my first love. On my left shoulder blade, a Mayan mask because I'm Mayan Indian. A scroll on my Left side for my brother who was killed in a car accident. A trible in the middle of my shoulder blades that has a Dragon in black (guardian) an owl (for wisdom) in yellow, and Gargoyles, (as watchmen)and a star (heaven) all blended in an abstract art form which is a wolf face, (tracker and leader of the pack) encompassing all the attributes. It has Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, and black. Citius, Fortius, Altius, = Swifter, Stronger, Higher on my right shoulder encircling a branding of the sun and Chinese symbol for strength. *JON* I just wanted to say that I love your show and watch it all the time.

I do have a question, When a tat is being done is the needle on the gun ripping the skin?

I have one tattoo of an anchor on the left side of my lower back. I got an anchor because it is the symbol of my sorority. I was told when I was getting it done that i'd get addicted and want another one, and that is so true! I'm trying to resist the temptation though! These shows are awesome!
