~Netana Whakaari of Waimana
Ink to paper is thoughtful
Ink to flesh, hard-core.

We'd appreciate body art more.
~Carrie Latet

~Author Unknown
Your necklace may break, the fau tree may burst, but my tattooing is indestructible. It is an everlasting gem that you will take into your grave. ~Verse from a traditional tattoo artist's song, as quoted on pbs.org, "Skin Stories: The Art and Culture of Polynesian Tattoo," 2003
