9th Festival of Pacific Arts
22 - 31 July 2004

Traditional Samoan Tattooing

Well, I decided to get a traditional Samoan tattoo. I was the first person brave enough to step up. It took 2.5 hours to complete and alot of pain. It was crazy. Whle getting the tattoo, international journalists were interviewing me, tourists and locals taking my photo, and even was filmed by a few people. Maybe I will be in some documentary about the festival. The next day, people were stopping me constantly asking about it. I was like a superstar....LOL.
