The famous Temple Tattoo in Oakland is right down the street from where I work. Freddy Corbain (mr nice guy) ownes the place and is world-known for his religious tattoos. His artists are also some of the best in the world, two being Jason McAfee and Jesse Tuesday.

I stopped by, checked out their books and fell in love with jesse tuesday’s japanese-inspired style. I booked my appointment (he’s booked a month in advance) and began drawing up my design. I then gave it to jesse, who sketched up a final piece and the rest is history… my geisha butterfly tattoo was created.
