Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Jerry Gardner asks, Do you have any tattoos? If so do they represent anything, like a country,or a special place or trip? Or was it just something to do?

I do. I have an arm band that I got at the start of my travels on the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. The design is in Cook Island Mauri pictograph, and it tells the stories of my travels.

There is a YouTube video of me getting the tattoo as I filmed the entire thing. I’ve occasionally met people from the Cook Islands, and I’ve shown them the tattoo and told them I got it done by Stormy, and they always seem to know who she is. Its a pretty small island.

If I were to get another one, and I don’t know if I would, I’d commission an artist from the Haida Nation in British Columbia or Alaska to do it.
