Caves in Enoshima,where the Samurai hid out in the 1600's, there's a cemetery in there too.

Gus, aka Gusto Higo. The best machine builder in the world!

Gus at work, doing a lil rebuild on one of Annette LaRue's machines. A rollomatic type cutback she got from Lou Sciberra.
The economy is already bad in Japan and now there are rolling blackouts through out the country, needless to say he's not doing a lot of tattooing right now.
So professional tattooers, BUY HIS MACHINES!

In Oakland in '02 I got him to sign my copy of "Bulls-Eyes & Black Eyes", which has this painting in it.
Never really new the man but, really enjoyed the few times I got to speak with him. I admire his take on tattooing and his work.

Any of these dates could be wrong, the old memory ain't what it used to be!

You gotta wear a costume when you work at Ladyland during Mardi Gra, we were all Chris Smith from DC.
Thanks for everything to the crew at Electric Ladyland, lots of tattoos were done that week, in a REAL tattoo shop!
