No one wants to hear my opinion on this one.

I'm just glad they didn't have the Guillotine back then.

Know Your Rights

Internment Camp Buddha

The original art for this tattoo was made of cut paper by the customer's great grandfather, one of more than 100,000 Japanese-Americans who's rights and property were taken by our federal government.

Executive Order 9066 from Feb. 1942 allowed military commanders to declare California, Oregon and Washington 'exclusion zones'. With a little help from the Census Bureau, Japanese-Americans were 'excluded' from the west coast and placed into desert prison camps for the remainder of the war.

The tattoo is a negative version of the original design but is otherwise unchanged.
