12. Takahiro Kitamura on Luke Stewart

My name is Takahiro Kitamura. I’m the curator of this exhibition, Perseverance, and here we have a tattoo by Luke Stewart. Luke owns Seventh Son Tattoo in San Francisco, and he was also gracious enough to allow us to photograph there. Luke’s an American tattooer who specializes in Japanese tradition and, as you can see from this snake piece here, does a lot of really amazing work, and is really spearheading Japanese tattooing up there in San Francisco.
