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.

And as I shot down the youthful Richardson...

it was St. Sebastian I thought of and his arrows.

O'Malley's Bar by Nick Cave begins and ends my knowledge of St. Sebastian. I do know the drawing I did for the tattoo was based on Andrea Mantegna's Sebastian of Vienna [1456-59] and the stylized tree was added at the customers request.
