I have not spoken with him directly but did correspond briefly with one of his stretchers while doing my own research. He generally works out in Wai`anae but also travels to California from time to time. I have also heard, but not confirmed that Aesia (sp?) who also works on O`ahu has begun working with traditional tools Malama pono Dan Tue, 18 Dec 2007 18:30:20 GMT http://HawaiiAloha.tribe.net/thread/7d91ca7b-e2f6-42f8-81b0-1b99096ad4b6#8cbc8b5a-01e1-4768-bdc5-620b4face8b3 Dan 2007-12-18T18:30:20Z http://HawaiiAloha.tribe.net/thread/7d91ca7b-e2f6-42f8-81b0-1b99096ad4b6#336874fc-8c5d-453f-957b-20e3da8dde21 check out tribal roots near the barmuda triangle in kihei, the only native owned shop on the isle. they generally practice what is known as contemporary polynesian, but i think owner Samson is well schooled in traditional methodology as well. best of luck.

She does traditional tattooing, using modern equipment. But she almost certainly will know who the practioners are who are using traditional equipment. Email her at tattoo@lava.net. She does a lot of traveling and so may not answer quickly. Be patient!
