Just call me scumrag; its a name given to me by my ex. Lives in southern california atm kinda sickly, so for personal reasons (& great insurance) I'm staying put after about 20 years on the streets. Used to live bay area, midwest & the Carolinas... guess I'm happy; would rather be travellin.

Also got a question for everyone- I'm a bonafide descendant of Olive Oatman: you know the story of the woman who was captured by Native Americans in the 1830s & subsequently turned into instant celeb when she "escaped"?

Here's my question: would you, if related to her, get the same facial tats as a sign of respect for her? Just an odd curiosity i guess. Yeah I've got tattoos everywhere already & no i prolly won't work for the man ever again....

So thanks for the intro.

wow - welcome aboard and I have read about her. And know some people with some similar chin tats as well. I have several tats but none facial. But hey welcome and thanks for becoming a regular STP member. :)

I watched a show about her recently! If it feels right, go for it.

So I contacted Thomas Lockhart :

(http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/thomas_lockhart.htm)

Regarding the Mohave tribal tattooing & his thought is that no one is doing the "original" techniques anymore - even in Borneo - and the ones that are are basically only doing it for the cash.

Now I know there's a lot of purists out there but guys; seriously, money is a problem for me personally so I'll most likely just find a shop in soCal to do it.

Thanks anyway!!!
