Nice. I've known Bert for several years, and he's always been a super nice guy…
yeah, he was real nice. i'm hoping to get something else when he is out here again for the hollywood convention this summer.

Resurfacing of this thread made me find this picture.
I did this sleeve on a good friend of mine many years ago, and a few months ago we did some touch up on it before his wedding. Look close and you'll notice he's rocking IH-634SR, IHB-01 and a IH cordovan wallet. (And the tattoo is pretty heavy duty Japanese as well…)
He's not on the forum, but has a very healthy IH collection going...

Katsushin:
I went to your blog and the only thing I could say was ho-ly f..k, beautiful work. Amazing.
I personally am more into Marquesas type of shit, but your stuff is wicked still.
Man, I wish I had a second pair of arms and legs to start new projects!

great work katsushin. will you be at the sf convention at all? even i fits just hanging out? i'm hoping to finally make it up there this year.
i'll be in brooklyn in a couple of weeks, hoping to run by smith st and get some more work done by berk krak or steve boltz

Thanks gbougard.
I'm up here in Humboldt county (far northern California on the coast, little over an hour south of Oregon).
Although, I do travel and work a bit. Usually SF, but also NY once a year and ocassionaly LA.Until I move to Cali, I guess I wont have the privilege of being tattooed by you! When i was on the East Coast this Summer and last Summer or in Chicago two years ago, I did not see any Pacific island designs. Is there any on the West Coast? Given its proximity to the Pacific, I seem to remember there is a Samoan community in CA. Has there been a Maori/Samoa/Pacific influence in the tattoo scene in Cali?

There are some Tongan tattooers in the San Jose area…
Beyond that there are usually Samoan and Hawaiian tattooeres that visit conventions on the west coast.
