Legendary times at the @shungyemuseum exhibition ' Legendary times at the @shungyemuseum exhibition 'Marked for Life' yesterday. Sincere thanks goes to Director Miles Lin and his staff for bringing our shared vision to reality - an exploration of the Indigenous tattoo traditions of Asia and especially Taiwan, Hainan Island, Chin of Myanmar, Drung of Yunnan, and related textile traditions of the Li peoples (Ha, Run, Meifu) of Hainan. 

This was a beautiful collaboration with guest curator @emilyshen.doc Paiwan cultural tattoo practitioner @cudjuy_tattoo visionary photographer  @jensburma textile expert and collector @gaoyu_textile and others.

Thank you to everyone who attended my lecture and book signing and for all the beautiful gifts from legendary designer Jung Ling Huo (National Parks of Taiwan book), Jerome Su, and grateful to meet Atayal tattoo artists and sisters Yabun and Bakan @travelsalontattoo 

The mountainside dinner over the hearth with friends old (@cudjuy_tattoo @jensburma ) and new (+ rounds of 'dragon water' shots / sorghum spirits) was incredible and one of the most memorable dining experiences ever! Everything was hunted/fished/grown by our master of the hearth. 

Thanks again to you to all, safe journeys home, and come see 'Marked for Life' during its run @shungyemuseum ... more updates forthcoming on the next venue >>>-------->
