In the nineteen nineties tattoo art saw a major resurgence, the result of youthful interest in the cultural history of tribal tattoos of indigenous people. Previously, most Americans were familiar with colorful Japanese styles of tattooing that influenced the pop art styles of World War II era tattoos. New interest in one color, ethnic tribal tattoos, allude to the artistry of tribes as diverse as Celtic, Maori, Haida, Borneo and Polynesian Marquesan.
Quote of the moment: A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Robert A. Heinlein
